This is an important post. I really need support right now, so please read it through.
I live in Kyiv, where constant shelling and infrastructure damage have created a severe humanitarian situation. Regular power outages, no heating, and water shortages heavily affect daily life.
Electricity is currently available only 3–4 hours a day, the heating isn’t working, the temperature in my apartment drops below 7 °C, and outside it’s around -15…-20 °C. There is no hot water, and even cold water is often unavailable. I try to work whenever there is power - on my laptop running on battery - but it drains quickly, and my fingers get so cold that holding a stylus is physically hard. Work is slow, but I keep trying and don’t abandon my projects.
It’s not easy for me to ask for help, and I hesitated for a long time before writing this post, but right now the situation is truly desperate.
Financially, things are very difficult right now. If you’re able to support us, any help would go toward food, water, ways to stay warm, as well as flashlights and power banks, so we can get through this and I can continue working under these conditions.
Even the smallest donations allow me to make mini-arts on my tablet, and discounts and bonuses apply to both YCHs and animations. Right now I’m offering 30% off all my YCHs and animation commissions. This isn’t just a sale - it’s a way for me to get through the current financial strain and prepare for the near future: stocking up on food and basic heating supplies. The authorities in Kyiv are warning about a possible worsening of the situation due to ongoing shelling and intensifying cold, so this support truly matters right now.
My girlfriend’s birthday is coming soon, and I would really like to give her at least a sense of warmth and comfort at home during this time.
If you can’t support financially, please consider fav, make journal, or sharing this post - that also helps a lot.
If you decide to make a PayPal or Ko-Fi donation, please include your Inkbunny or Furaffinity nickname or Discord tag in the note so I can contact you about bonuses or mini-arts.
