Emergency commissions

My mother and I both live from her unemployment benefit. We managed until I graduated last week: I am now considered ‘able to support us financially’ because I have a diploma. This means she won’t get enough money to pay rent, bills and food.

I am currently unable to work, because of my mental illness (which I am getting help for, so I hope to be able to work and study more in the future) and there being very few jobs in my field (graphic design) that can take this into account.

I applied for unemployment benefits myself yesterday (July 12th 2017), but because I am younger than 27 I have to spend 4 weeks finding a job before I have right to receive the money needed to help my mother pay for everything.

This means we have a 4 week period where we are short a couple hundred Euro’s. Selling art is currently the only thing I can do until I get this sorted out. Any donation helps! If you can’t afford commissions, please help me out by sharing this!

I appreciate your help. Thank you.
