If was to post my PayPal and whatnot, could I get people to help with donations and spreading the word?

So this is honestly temporary, but I REALLY need help now. We were able to get groceries recently thanks to a tip (🩷)

100

I realistically need about $800 USD total to catch up on everything again. We were supposed to be getting a dip out of the 401k payment, but it isn’t showing up until the end of the month. My partner is also starting a new job with more money soon. So these things WILL help, but bills won’t wait.

100

I promise, I am doing better now. Trying to get used to the medication still, but I am not feeling as bad about being in my body as I was. There’s still a lot of work to do in that regard, but I’ll get there with more (and more) doctor visits.

100

I’ve lost about 40 pounds this year, I have a hard time doing the things I enjoy & love and it’s just been hard getting out of bed. I honestly didn’t want to exist anymore.

100

PMDD has honestly kicked my ass since developing it & I’m still having issues getting through each month. I had just came off a straight two month period, so of course all these things together got me to the dark hole I was in.

100

It has created more stresses money wise as I have been out of work for almost a month & got behind on bills…again. Plus, I had to be sent to a hospital about an hour away, so I had to use hospital transportation. More $$$ added to the bills.

I recently stayed in the hospital for a bit. I did & said stupid things & got carted away. I was already stressed about money & not being able to work as much because of my physical/mental health. Having to stay at the hospital helped in ways that I was able to access medication I needed. However-

My lovely friend @skipperly1234.bsky.social commissioned me to draw that cute little dance Ron & Russell bust out for this tour 🥺💕

Oh and let’s not forget that I’m so useless I can barely pick up my pen to do art these days. It feels like a burden. I’m probably going to have to refund the three commissionees when I get the money to do so because I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to work on art again…

And now I’ve got to work, so don’t get worried if I’m quiet. If I don’t have a meltdown today it will be a good day.

Like I legit need a miracle to help and I’ve never received one in my life. We’re probably going to be homeless by the end of the year if our roommate gets fed up with us being late for rent payment.

100

Cant catch up on our bills from when I was asking for emergency commissions and late fees keep piling up. We both are not healthy, I’ve become so much of a burden I can’t work more than 20 hours a week. We’re driving around with expired tags and my cat is old and sick.

Thank you @chicalolita.bsky.social and @sonjalovestodraw.bsky.social for the kind words. But it’s so much more than depression brain right now we are legit so screwed in so many ways. No matter where either of us turn it’s a disaster and we can’t crawl out.

100

It’s just made it all so hard to keep going.

Otter @otterchu.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

My only constant is James. I can’t believe he sticks around. I’m utterly useless and becoming more and more so everyday.

Otter @otterchu.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

It’s just…I can’t have fun anymore without feeling guilty about my health, my finances or the general state of the world. I’ll never be comfortable in my skin and I’ll never be comfortable whatsoever.

Otter @otterchu.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

I’ll just keep reminding myself I do everything for them.

Hate that I can’t feel nothing but guilt for still going to Weird Al tonight despite trying to talk myself through it. We bought the tickets months ago when we had no idea what our situation would be like. It’s hard to feel excited about anything rn though because of everything going on.

I haven’t added my favorites from the newer album yet, but I honestly haven’t listened to it enough yet. Hope you find some gems amongst my collection 😉

Otter @otterchu.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Snail Shell is honestly one of my top favorites! If you don’t mind another playlist (and I have no idea what service you use) here’s my selection of songs from each album: open.spotify.com/playlist/5dK...

Discovered anything in the past few days since we replied? I’m curious about your journey! 😁

Otter @otterchu.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

All I can say about life rn is whoof. At least I got a different job now, hopefully will be starting next week.

Otter @otterchu.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

AND you’ll start to hear them literally everywhere now because they are sneaky and do songs for TV, movies and commercials 😉

You GOTTA listen to Apollo 18 for Fingertips specifically. My all time favorite album is The Else (and the EP Cast Your Pod to the Wind) Also, they have some fantastic albums for younger folks - Science is Real is an amazing collection of songs about (you guessed it) science stuff!

I know people like screenshots, but I will only show my proof of trouble if someone really wants to see it through DM.

I am very lucky to be able to have a skill that I can put to use to get some extra funds, but still unfortunately in the red. We didn’t even buy our groceries or cat food yet.

100

This would not have happened if I’d been paying more attention to things. A lot of things that SHOULD have already went through just happened all at one time. I never let things like this happen, but they did this time.

100

Thanks to everyone who has donated so far I have been able to get out of the negative on one card. I still have one more negative balance to pay off, plus we now have limited funds until we get paid again in two weeks.

We have hit some hard times financially after some unexpected expenses went through on a few accounts. Please help out by commissioning me! For a short time I will be doing these NYOP commissions (min. $20, please) I also have $10 simple sketches available (these are quick to get out!)

It’s simple to me because it takes maybe an hour or so to muster up! Also, thank you so, so much for your help on Ko-Fi ❤️❤️❤️

100

Oh yeah, and the simple sketches would be like this Monk:

I also plan on setting up a Mercari or something to sell off some collector stuff that I no longer want/didnt want in the first place.

Please like and share as much as you can! I will get these out as fast as I can.

100

and if you want to (or are able to) send a donation: PayPal: churippu Venmo: churippu CashApp: $churippu These are also the applications we can use for commission exchange as well!

Become a supporter of Churippu today!

I have somewhat fixed up my Ko-Fi account to help with this process or if you just want to send a small donation it can be done through here. ko-fi.com/churippu

Not trying to vague post, but just had some unexpected bills go through and we don’t get paid until later in the week. In the negs. I may need to set up an emergency commission thing or something.

Ugh…just…UGH!!!! I can’t win these days.
