So, I did another thing?! I was so inspired to draw each performance! Love them all! I’m really happy how it turned out. My personal favorites are Kateryna and Gjon’s Tears! 😊

My name is Allan Cancinos. I’m 36, nonbinary and in January, I lost my job.
I have been isolating diligently and trying to find remote work, but I haven’t had much luck.
I have burned through my savings, maxed out my credit cards, and cashed out my 401K but even with all that I have only made it this far with the extremely generous help of my friends.
Unemployment has continually failed to pay, despite the state saying I’m eligible for benefits. SNAP benefits have also vanished mysteriously after a phone interview during which I was approved.
I am disabled, I have not been vaccinated yet and I am a walking encyclopedia of comorbidities.
I need help ASAP paying this month’s regular and unexpected expenses, including:
$875 for rent (utilities are thankfully included) $500 car+insurance $110 phone $100+ for parking tickets (Boston decided to start requiring permits on my street during the pandemic and denied my application and may tow my car before I can get an in-person appointment) $900 to completely pay off my emergency credit card bills $500 Groceries and medical supplies
I am trying to talk to a real person about the unemployment, because that alone would solve my of these problems but until that happens I don’t want to risk being made homeless a second time during this pandemic.
I know the world is on fire right now and everyone has their own problems, so if you’ve made it this far then thank you for taking the time to read this, especially if you’ve helped me in the past.
if GFM doesn’t work for you but you still want to help (which, ty!):
An update: this month’s rent is almost paid!!! I am always astounded at how generous you all are. Thank you <3. Luckily, I haven’t yet received any tickets for parking (*yet*) but that can change at any time.
I haven’t received my registration stickers yet, but I paid the tickets and the city is still denying my application for a parking permit with no explanation why.
In better news, I got help getting ahold of someone at the unemployment office and it turns out my benefits are being contested so it needs to be adjudicated and of course there is no time frame for that so for the foreseeable future my only income will be from people on the internet, which is a totally lovely and unstressful and not at all anxiety inducing situation!

I still have no resolution with unemployment and no luck finding a job and I’m getting deeper in the hole with rent and bills.
What precious few spoons I had I’ve put into keeping current with rent at least means that I’m also ineligible for rent assistance. Because life hasn’t kicked me in the teeth enough.
I know everything is terrible all over, but if you could please spread the word I still need a ton of help.
For those wondering, yes, Cruella’s mom was killed onscreen by dalmatians, and yes, it is The Best Scene in the Movie.
(This is the only screen recording I was able to capture without cackling like an insane person over the audio.)
You’re laughing. Cruella’s mom was killed onscreen by a pack of Dalmatians unceremoniously shoving her off a cliff in order to give her a needlessly edgy backstory and you’re laughing.
