Cat Tax. (Monkey spends the majority of her time on or next to me 🙂 )
It’s been quite a few years since I’ve sent a newsletter (due to becoming severely ill and disabled 10 years ago), but I’m writing because my cat & I are losing our housing in a few months and urgently need help…
My friends set up a GoFundMe to raise money for me to put a permanent dwelling on a property they’re in the process of purchasing. This way Monkey & I will have somewhere safe and wheelchair accessible to live without having to move from rental to rental, which my body can no longer sustain (moving is not simply a stressful inconvenience for me; it poses a serious risk to my health, which further deteriorates each time).
Truly *any* donation amount will help – even if it seems insignificant (it’s not to me)! And if you can please share this post or the GoFundMe link with anyone you know who might be able to help &/or get the word out as well, I would appreciate it more than I can articulate.

Since GoFundMe fundraisers take a cut, if you’d prefer to donate to me directly you can do so via:
PayPal: https://paypal.me/donialilly
Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/Donia-
Or, if you’d like to lend your support while also getting something in return, I still have art prints, originals, and knit & crochet pieces for sale here on my site.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I’d love to hear in the comments how you’re surviving / thriving / building community during these stressful times,
Donia

ps I’m also making Dragon / Frog / Cat Eye earrings & pendants as well as zodiac constellation earrings from my bed if you’d like to support me that way while getting a gift… All earrings can be made as studs, dangles, or clip-on dangles.
You can also follow me on eBay and/or on Poshmark to see if there’s anything you need / want that I’m selling to raise money as well!
