Alright, I wanted to be clear with y& #39;all about where finances are going. I dunno that it& #39;s owed, y& #39;all have been incredibly generous regardless, but I want to anyway.
Short thread:
Short thread:
Money that comes in from one-time sources like my online shops or paypal is going directly into savings for surprise costs/fees/etc. I& #39;m treating it as "oh shit, I couldn& #39;t have budgeted for that" money.
If there is any still sitting in savings by the time I have negotiated my way to safety, it will transition to being my move-out fund for things like a deposit/moving costs/etc. when I am able to move somewhere more permanently.
Money that is coming in on a monthly basis via my Patreon is my budget. I& #39;m making long-term financial decisions based on this income and this income alone to make sure I don& #39;t reach past my means and end up back in a similar situation.
I have been absolutely floored by the outpouring of support, both financial and emotional, over the last few days. I may not be on steady ground yet, but I want y& #39;all to know that you& #39;ve all already had a huge impact on me in a truly harrowing time, so thank you.
Now for the not-fun part.
To the best of my knowledge, my ability to stay where I am ends tomorrow when my friends& #39; roommates come home. Other friends in the city are currently unable to house me. Homeless shelters have frozen admissions and hotels are closed.

I am waiting on mental health support that will be coming on Thursday. I am setting up negotiations for my return to the house I fled, but I don& #39;t know how long that will take as it& #39;s heavily dependent on the people I was fleeing in the first place.
At the moment, it seems my only option will be to find somewhere relatively safe and sheltered and hunker down outside. I have steeled myself for remaining that way until negotiations are completed, but I am open to alternatives if people have them.
I can& #39;t promise I& #39;ll reply to everyone but if you have a suggestion for how I can find shelter, I& #39;ll take it. Better yet, if you or someone you know in the city has a couch & is willing to risk a stranger coming in, y& #39;all& #39;s support means I would be able to pay for that assistance
Bonus points for my temporary roommate résumé: I& #39;m good at cooking, I really only take up a few square feet of room including my packed bags, and I& #39;m an avid user of headphones so I don& #39;t come with a lot of noise.
That& #39;s it. That& #39;s all I& #39;ve got for this thread. I& #39;m going to keep looking for options today, but thank you again for all the help you have given me as I struggle through this situation.
