There's no way I'm making rent this month. Sales are near nonexistent. And I've been too depressed to do anything other than worry. This year sucks. Last year sucked. Please someone tell me when does it start getting better. When do my struggling, awkward years finish so I can move into my stable, centered, happy years with a partner and kids? When does that happen?

August 15th,

Sales have dried up completely. I'm stuck at $1425. It's so stressful and I know I'm not the only one dealing with the this crippling anxiety. I always trust it will come together but it's just not.

I’m genuinely begging everyone that can please buy art and if you don’t want art but want to help donations are beyond appreciated!!! Plus my etsy will be 70% Off.

$368/ $1800

Rent must fully paid May 1st, 2020

$0/$650 Gas and electric bill covering my bill since last year. My landlord decided not to pay that after all and I’ll be shut off as soon as Denver reopens on May 1st.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to all buyers, helpers, donars and those focusing good thoughts towards me. If you can, please, please, please buy a painting or commission in the next few days. I can’t survive moving, not now, not yet. For now I am home and my fractured brain needs this to continue to home.

April 27, 2020

Rent $414/$1800

Must May rent on on before May 1st or they will go ahead with demolishing the building. I just can’t be homeless, not again it took from March 20th to October 4th to find my first place after loosing my home and my dogs, and my garden, and everything I had that had been touched by my grandfather. Just the thought of going through that any of it is way to much for me. I will never survive.

$465/$1800 May Rent

Must!!!Be Paid By The First!$0/$650 Gas and Electric back to October

May 10th 2020

Rent for May is paid.

Still need to figure out gas/electric bill and next month. And food is rather nice once in awhile.

Recently Havekat has released some more new works of exquisite beauty. I would like to urge those of you who are considering buying one of Kate's original paintings not to deliberate too long in doing so. I can tell you from personal experience that it is indeed disappointing to have your heart set on one of her one of a kind artworks that you are awestruck by and have it suddenly show up listed as “Private Collection", indicating that it was bought by someone else and is no longer available for sale. She is flexible and will accept reasonable installment payments and then ship things out when the item is paid for in full. Please don't forget that the early bird gets the worm.

My rent is again super overdue. I haven't given much of a care because I've been so sick. But I'm being pressured about rent and I'm having some real terror regarding my future living situation.

My Etsy is 60% off and has a whole bunch of new items.

I have mini 4"x 6" prints that are a giant bargain available on tumblr only.

Crisis For Artist During Coronavirus Pandemic

So it was early April when I was finally able to get March rent paid. I know millions are suffering. And many like me don't even have safety nets like unemployment. I also understand that art seems like a superfluous purchase in the face of an international health crisis.

However if you are able I would be so incredibly grateful if you would consider a something to brighten your home during quarantine.

I’ve purchased 5 painting from her in the past, and they are amazing quality. She also has prints for an insanely low price!

Thank you!!😢

I'm still more than 1000 from paying rent and haven't had an etsy sale for a month. The freezing of the economy has frozen any chance of being able to have food money, let alone rent money. I can't get unemployment. I've applied for things but have been rejected or haven't heard. There's extreme pressure to pay by the 15th and I can't conceive of a way that it's remotely possible.

I'm beyond frightened. How do you get a new place to live if you're evicted during quarantine? I'm probably catastrophic thinking but I've lived the worst case scenario for awhile now.

It's a little after 6pm. There's clearly no possibility I'll be able to meet my April 15th deadline for rent. There's nothing I can do really except try to mitigate the severity of the consequences.

It's snowing. So cold and I feel so bleak. I had to pay my phone bill so I'm down again. I just can't put my rent together. I had applied for a loan and was rejected, based upon a computer analysis deciding I'm a seasonal business. It's the result of near flat sales.

I was struggling before. Now I just feel so hopeless. I see how it's possible to live.

At least three of my regular clients have lost their jobs and won't be getting a gift for themselves or their loved ones for quite sometime. My heart aches for these lovely people whom I've come to consider friends. I worry for them and their families. I'm sorry anyone is experiencing the terrible economic uncertainty I'm suffering.

April 19, 2020

I continue to be nowhere close to paying my rent. In fact a week later I'm further from being able to pay. My phone was nearly turned off. I don't have wifi, my phone supplies my internet as well as phone service. Judge but I can't live with out my phone functioning, especially now since I can't hop on wifi at coffee shops etc.

I do have to eat and while I feel guilty each time I purchase food I don't see an option. Each month is worse and worse. I had a few miracles that allowed me to pay March but the crisis goes on and is out of my control.

It seems I've exhausted my guardian angels. I'm facing the fact that I won't be able to pay rent. I won't be able to catch up and will likely be homeless again in the nearish future. And honestly I'd rather be dead. I never had to sleep on the streets and even then homelessness was extremely traumatic. Because my becoming homeless was tied up with other stuff I can say it alone is the source of my PTSD (yes professionally diagnosed) but many of my nightmares and panic attacks are related to trying to find a place to stay.

Probably a lot of my regular followers can tell which posts are written in the midst of panic attacks I desperately need to share but I'm so alone I only have tumblr followers. More now than ever.

April 21, 2020

So far in my state self employed people can't get unemployment. I have applied for my stimulus payment but it will be awhile. I applied for an emergency artists grant but was rejected. I'm not doing well. I don't think I can go through this again. I would rather die than have to go through eviction again. That's not hyperbole either. I'd really rather die than be homeless again. I was struggling but doing almost okay. I should have known it was too good to last. I'm not the kind of story that has a happy ending. Having a home I liked was the...."and for awhile all seemed well, little did she know it would be over so soon...."

April 21, 2020

FOR APRIL RENT

$989/$1800

April 21st, 2020

$1045/$1800

My landlord came over today and basically said that if I couldn't come up with April and May that they were going to probably tear down the house that I live in down.

My fears are coming true again. I'm going to be homeless and there's nothing I can do. I can't bear to go through this again. I won't survive it. I barely survived last time.

April 21st

$1395/$1800 for April

$0/$1800 May

I was only today able to file for unemployment.

I can't move. It will kill me. I'm so scared. I know I'm not the only one. Please, please, please help me if you can. PLEASE.

$400.00 out of $1800.00

I'm so screwed. I don't even know what the hell I'm going to do. My brain is d/I'm too tired and sick. I haven't been able to work much. I've lost like 2 weeks I needed to be making sales and doing commissions. But I haven't been able to. IF I didn't know better I'd think I have mononucleosis.

My greatest fear is that I become homeless again. I'm deeply afraid it's coming again soon.

Emergency. I'm so screwed right now! I have a proverbial gun to my head. Technically I'm on month to month it took me March until October to find a place. I'm scared to the point I'd rather die than be homeless again.

I have commitments that I cannot renege upon. Things I should be glad of really but I'm under so much pressure monetarily that I want to crawl in bed a die. I'm at that point where stress makes life not worth living and it's getting worse. I'm so afraid I won't have anywhere to live in a month or two. Trying to find a place to live is so terrifying I'm unwilling to go through it again. No more airbnbs as stop gaps. I just can't. I'm within days of the anniversary of my personal armageddon. I didn't think I would make it thus far. I'm not sure how much further my road goes. I feel like it's coming to an end.

$567.00/$1800.00

I still have a huge nut to cut as soon as humanly possible!

No change.

I don't think can do this. I'm literally sick and tired.
