Very Worried - News August 2019

- VERY WORRIED -  I just barely had enough this month on Patreon to pay our rent and 1/2 of our city-required lawn mowings for this month (thanks to a new ordinance for lawn length). Lina was able to pay the phone/internet, but we're already just about broke and the month just started. Thanks to all of you and your ongoing support, but we are in dire need at this point to try and find more support. If we take another dip in pledges, we will not be able to afford our rent. I had 203 Patrons in June 2018, and I have 113 now.

- MORE BAD NEWS. On top of Patreon trying to squeeze out adult artists one fetish at a time, Lina's big life-changing job I mentioned last month... has been put on hold. Everyone at that call center and its company have been laid off until someone investigates some kind of minor bureaucratic scandal. In the meantime, she's been accepted as an employee, but now who know when she'll actually start (or if she ever will, if things go really bad). We also got pulled over for our car's tags being out of date (and we haven't been able to get them fixed due to family legal issues that have nothing to do with us, but are connected to our vehicle, which we need and obviously can't afford to replace). I have been as productive as ever, but I just can't find more Patrons. And now the ones I've had are leaving, and I don't know why. I've been in literal tears again multiple times this month because of all this and on top of that I'm dealing with health issues and constantly worrying that I'm doing to die prematurely (not to mention the existential terror of knowing I'm not going to exist one day and feeling like all this is pointless anyway). We feel like we're both dangling on a cliff's edge, calling for help, and we have just enough help to keep from falling, but not enough help to climb back up... and there we dangle, straining to stay alive, worrying we'll fall, and never getting out of it. I don't know what to do.

Thanks you! Because you keep the lights on and food on the table every month. 

- Special Thanks to Melody, Justin, Moose, and Despia for your Platinum and higher pledges. Thanks to you and all my patrons for your love and support. ♥  

-We Need Your Help Every Month - Because we count on your support to survive. My Patreon work pays the rent and (on a good month) for some of our groceries. Your pledges allow me to do the art I love and share it with you and the others who enjoy it. Both my wife and I do Patreon and FA related work for a living, so it's 100% up to our commissions and posts to keep us going. Your pledges put food on the table.

- FNAB2 update: Episode 4 is on hold this month because I'm working on another animation this month.

- Lina's Work: Lina's fursuiting Patreon (and soon, her ADULT ONLY Subscribe Star) and voice commissions are another important part of our income, and we're trying to find her more clients and Patrons. Check out her sexy fursuit/voice Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/linapilchard
