Hi guys, I need your help
You know I don't really talk about my personal life on here, but, I'm pretty much the same in real life. I don't like talking about my problems mostly because I feel like I'm being a burden.
I know I'm not a great friend on here, I'm very sporadic on updates and I haven't really been active, but I'm starting to get desperate and I need your help.
Just a bit of background first. I have two older sisters who have bachelors, one even a graduate from a very expensive collage, but one can't find a job and the other got an unexpected pregnancy. Because I have two older sisters who have already graduated, I don't qualify for government help and finding scholarships is already hard for me. My dad is a very giving man and in able to help my family members, four cars are under his name and that's not helping things at all frankly but he can't give that up or he's going to get taken advantage of and not get paid for helping them out in the first place. He'd be giving those cars away practically for free if he were to get those cares taken out of his name. My mom is not working mostly because she's in her late 50's and I don't want her working night shifts at a mask company anymore. She doesn't deserve that. She gets migraines, body aches and pains, and I don't want my mother to suffer especially when she has three daughters who are capable of supporting her. Even if her youngest (me) is useless.
I attended an Art Institute in late 2010 (which is where everything went to shit mostly) and after a year of attending, I couldn't pay anymore of my classes due to not being able to qualify for FAFSA and my loans not being enough to cover what I needed. My parents didn't make enough money to always make the payments. So, in late Oct of 2011, I dropped out.
Trying to save face, I attended a community college in Spring 2012, but then those classes ended, I needed to pay for those classes in able to register for more, and I couldn't. I didn't have the money. So, I decided to try to get a job during Summer and hopefully return to school this fall. But I can't. I can't find a job, nobody wants to hire somebody with no experience.
My Dad is a trucker. Truckers usually get payed very well and in my case, he does get paid well, but half of his weekly paycheck goes to diesel and with gas prices being insanely high these days, the second half of his check barely covers the bills and the food. For the past year his truck has been slowly breaking down over and over and he's invested more than $8,000 just in these last six months.
The house bill is behind, the gas water and electricity bills are behind. Phone bills are behind. I have a hospital bill that's almost done being paid for but I'm not going to be able to pay this months bill and they'll charge me extra for that. Stupid Netflix took out money and now my bank has charged me double and now I have negative dollars amount in my bank and my parents won't be able to give me the money to even have a balance of zero. I have to pay for my classes in able to be able to register for more, and I want to be able to pay for some driving lessons before my permit expires next March.
So, I thought I'd take up commissions. But honestly, I'm not very popular in real life so obviously I'm not very popular on the internet either. I tried doing commissions once before but it didn't feel right so I never continued.
But I'm willing. I'll do my best for you. I'll give it my all. I'm going to do commissions. I've decided. Even if no one's interested. I need your help to be able to pay off debt and be able to go to school. If you guys want to see how I've been drawing lately, this is my tumblr, I have an art tags link you guys can check out. I need commissions, so even if you yourself aren't interested I'd appreciate if if you can tell someone else or spread the word around. It means a lot to me, thank you.
Your friend,Jo
So sorry if this doesn't even make sense, I've been really emotionally stressed out today. If you guys have questions, well comment below. I'll make a post about commission prices later today.
