Last month's picture, my oc Lucian. It started out as a quick sketch portrait for 2-3 hours.

went to the pub for a drink on my first real day off in over a week and watched the girl behind the bar drop the entire cash drawer on the floor in the middle of the rush and then just stare at it at her feet for like a solid two minutes

Please take the time to read this. I need help desperately to keep my car which is the only place left I have to sleep.

I'm a struggling trans masc. I'm homeless and living out of my partners car right now that I can barely afford (it's about 500 a month). I took on tons of commissions to afford basic necessities like food, hygiene and medical supplies. Even after not paying for phone service and staying outside stores and restaurants to use their public wifi we have no money. My partner has tried applying to almost every job available and no one will get back to us. We were targeted by a lgbt housing support group and had all resources cut off from us because me and my partner are trans masc.

I'm burnt out and it feels like I'm slowly dying. I've only eaten uncooked spam, peanut butter and tortillas in the past week. I'm trying to stay happy enough to work or push myself through the pain and still make art but I can't. And I know soon enough impatient clients will start demanding refunds because as a homeless person people don't view me as worthy of living.

If you can offer any help please do. We try to be very careful with our money to help us survive longer. Please help us pay for our car or at least help us pay for gas so our car doesn't get towed. We desperately need help as we're both disabled and our families both have distanced themselves from us.

This isn't us just asking for a hand out. We're scared, exhausted and we can't make it on the street. We're barely surviving now and if we lose this car I don't know if I'll be able to stay alive much longer.

Please help. Give me advice or at least wish us luck please. I don't want to die before I reach 30. Art is my only source of income you can check out my kofi if you are only interested in art.

In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…

And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…

Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.

He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.
