Slurku's News

Posted by Slurku - February 2nd, 2025


Opening a GoFundMe because I have no other choice now.


My name is Slurku, and I am a freelance artist based in Ohio. I am reaching out to my community today in hopes of receiving some assistance, as I am currently facing significant financial hardships. My sole income is derived from commission work, which is irregular and insufficient to maintain stability. While any work is appreciated, it simply isn’t enough to sustain my household.


In July 2024, my partner, who was the primary earner in our household, was laid off. Their unemployment benefits have recently ended as of February 1st, 2025, leaving us with no stable income. The only other source of income is my father’s social security, which is allocated towards rent and his personal expenses.


I am unable to seek traditional employment due to my responsibilities as a Power of Attorney (POA) for my father, who suffers from short-term memory loss and dementia. Caring for him is a full-time responsibility, and I cannot be compensated for my role as a POA. This situation has left us financially strained, as we were dependent on my partner’s income to make ends meet.


I had planned to place my father in assisted living later this year and relocate back west with my family to start anew, as I can no longer continue living under these circumstances. His needs are gradually surpassing what I can provide at home, and I am currently navigating the Medicaid waiver process to secure appropriate care for him.


I am without a vehicle or a job and rely on government assistance for food. However, with the current food prices, the assistance we receive lasts no more than two weeks for two people. While my father’s social security covers rent and his bills and food situation, I am still responsible for other expenses regarding myself such as food, bills, pet care, and transportation costs for my medical appointments (as I am a diabetic) and my father’s appointments. Additionally, we are living in subsidized housing.


I have commissions open and am actively seeking more freelance work. If you are able and willing to contribute, any amount would be immensely appreciated. However, please prioritize your own well-being first. I have reached a point of desperation and am humbly asking for any support my community can offer, even if it’s simply sharing this message.


Thank you for your time and consideration.

I'm gonna try to post art here a little more, by no means is this my main hub, that's twitter but now and then I'll post something I'm really fond of so don't expect super consistent art. :v


I'm happy people like my weegee draw so thank you so much <3

Not a NSFW artist and my tumblr dot com blogs haven't been purged but I felt like dusting this old place off and giving it a go. Posted a few arts to start off with. Mostly here for entertainment though.
