I need help for the future. Throne is coming. (Patreon)

Patrons are getting a first preview of this blurb that will be going live later today on DA/Twitter.

That title may startle you. I'm starting a Throne soon. I'm doing so out of a call for help from you, my fans, my friends, and supporters.

TL;DR: at the bottom. This may run long.

My father is sick and fatigued. He has an auto immune disease and will be soon receiving a bone marrow transfer to help alleviate him from it. Our family has spent the last couple years dealing with doctor visits and medications for him. Ups and downs were abound. It has produced a lot of stress for me and accounts for some of my absence over the last couple years. Mental burdens grow heavy when my father is as down as he has been.

We finally have a path forward with the bone marrow transfer. Here's the catch: I am the one chosen as his caregiver in this regard. What that means is he gets to spend 3 months in a special home designed for transplant/transfer receivers and I have to stay with him the entire time to take care of him. Him and I alone in a room for three months. (There will be spaces we can go to get away from each other, don't worry). I'm happy to do this! Don't get me wrong!

In addition: Dad and I will be spending 10 days together near this hospital he'll get the bone marrow transfer from. That is coming in the first week of September. The bone marrow transfer is coming after but we don't have a set date. It'll be soon. As early as late September.

The speed that this all came out is putting me in an incredibly tight spot. Not having consistent work time has stifled my output and reduced my ability to take work. Spending three months away from home and from my setup will possibly only make that worse. I have a mobile tablet but it's old and I don't have the equipment to create a workspace away from home.

So I'm asking for your help. I don't want donations directly. I instead am trying something new.

Behold my Throne: A place where you can chip in money to buy me things I've placed upon a wishlist.

In here you'll find, currently, six items that I perceive that I'll need for both the 10 days and the 3 months coming up. I have listed them so that the very left and upper is the most important. The very lowest is least. I would love to have all items but only the things I have typed, "I am buying this NO MATTER WHAT" (or similar) are the most important. If I don't get them via throne, I'll find a way to afford them myself because they'll be integral to keeping me working while away from home.

I ask you to chip in what you can. If you can't, that's fine too, as your support still keeps me forging ahead. I'm gonna repay with as much art as I can muster with the months ahead. I am ever striving to continue forward and a renewed interest to grow has me eager to push my content again.

If you have any questions, or comments, or concerns, please share them in the comments and I'll do my best to address them. Thank you for reading all of this.

TL;DR: I'm going to be away from home for extended periods of time soon and can't financially support myself and equip myself at the same time for those periods to keep working. I need your help to equip me so my finances can go to my bills and necessities that come first.
