I need a little help
Added 2025-08-19 06:46:19 +0000 UTCThis past month has been rough. I had to deal with a new issue every day or so and yesterday was the final straw that broke the camel's back. To sum it up I've been doing renovation works in my new place, everything was calculated then accidents started to happen one after the other, such as:
-litterally fined for doing renovation works as there were issues with the house documents no one managed to spot early, so that's around 8k wasted in shit.
-part of the under-roof collapsed (almost got hit by it, too)
-obstructed drainage system, which caused most likely the following issue
-structural damage on one side on the new walls, which were pretty expensive and already cracked for a few feet
-half of the electrical line not working yet
-rodents infestations (pest control did nothing and was pricy af dunno if I can file a claim)
-fridge almost exploded, because of course I needed that (it's fairly new too)
-not even mentioning other multiple animal problems like wasps nesting in my windows blinds
and yesterday, the icing on the cake
-the out of control overgrowth of the plants in my property, which I have been dealing with everyday, managed to outgrew my efforts and broke down the telephone line for my whole neighbourhood.
Now, in normal circumstances I'd just roll up my sleeves, get to work and solve them.
The main issue is that I have been working 24/7 never catching a break since moving in, basically, not sleeping much, and if I wasn't working on commissions I was working outside cutting down trees and weed, moving heavy stuff, cleaning and so on. I'm exhausted stressed out and now dangerously close to having no money to fix the important stuff like restoring the telephone line, because a lot of work needs to be done by professionals. I am most likely going to be fined (could be in the thousands of €) for this type of damage even if my intentions were good and did all I could.
I do truly hate to ask for some extr amoney but I have reached my limit. I never begged for anything like that in the 15+ years I've been offering services in this community but I do actually have no choice. My family is also unable to help, like, at all basically. Even if I manage to raise like 1 or 2 hundred bucks I'm still gonna call it a success.
How can you help?
-If you aren't subscribed to any of my platforms, you might consider subbing just for the month of August to help me either here or on my boosty.There are multiple tiers to choose from. If you decide to stay in the higher ones you even get custom rewards.
-You can make a one time donation here on gumroad if you prefer, starting at 5€
-Share this with your friends/groups (do not spam share it though please)
Needless to say, I will focus my efforts on commissions even more and cut down on my comic projects until I have figured out a solution. The only positive in all of this is that I live in a very nice neighbourhood and they, so far, have not contacted the authorities to avoid me getting fined, and endured a 4+ days long phone/cable internet abscence. I miraculously found a guy that rushed here to take care of most of the plants problem but any quick investigation will lead to the obvious results. And I won't be able to afford more interventions for a while for osmething that needs more and in a short time span.
Oh yeah there's also a old tree that could collapse and destroy more lines if it falls and we're dealing with that today, just to add to thelist of accidents and expenses.
Thank you for your time. Can't wait for all of this to be over.
