Hi, folks — I was hoping to get through the month without having to ask for help again, but it turns out I am short for funds to pay my last two utility bills of January. I need about $180 $135 $85 $65 $35 $0 — goal met! to pay the bills and have some left over for groceries. Here are my donation links:
PayPal is burchjan atgmail dotcom (friends and family, please); purchases using PayPal from my Zibbet shop and "coffee" through Ko-Fi will also help.
… and to help solve the long-term problem, please consider supporting my Patreon page — Patreon is like “Act Blue” for artists, and is a way of moving creative types to a sustainable income.
Also, fyi, I’m hoping to do a Kos Katalogue vendor show & tell diary for Valentine’s Day, but that will post towards the end of the week which is after the due date for these bills. I want to do that diary to support all the Katalogue vendors, but I just need a little bit of help to get there. Thanks in advance.
Speaking of Valentine’s Day ~
Those pretty things come from my Zibbet shop, which is where I sell my arts & crafts. My tag line is “I make beautiful things that make people happy” and your support helps me keep on doing that! Using PayPal when you check out with your order will get the funds to me immediately so I can count them towards this goal; other methods can take as long as a week or more.
One more thing: for those who want to know How I Got Here,I refer you to this diary, wherein I detail the backstory about my precarious financial situation. But the short answer is, I outlived my money… which is not a good feeling. It’s weird.
Last and final word (as almost always) goes to LuvLee the Cat:
Thanks for reading this, and please help get the word out by sharing, tweeting, rec and tipping … because that helps, too!

Thanks to the Kossack who just sent in a contribution, my need is now down to $85 — that means I can cover the gas bill which is due tomorrow, and get a few groceries after go to the post office to ship the orders that came in last week. Yay, team — just one more bill and little food money to go :)
