My pony friends; recently I realized how expensive it will be for me to do all the tests and things necessary for the government to approve and provide a very specific medication I need for my rare form or arthritis called ‘ankylosing spodylitis’; it causes my bones to fuse if untreated, and causes pain literally everywhere. Drawing is a distraction from it all, to be quite honest.

Certain medications I use + many other therapies that I pay from my own pockets are pricey. I have been improving lately, but an artist can only do so much in terms of cash to help themselves. I can handle it, but I cannot give the next step yet in my treatment. It is truly hard for me to ask people for help, but I believe I would be even more ridiculous if I didn’t.

I know many of you are from countries where life is equally not as easy as here in Brazil, so I don’t expect you guys to be able to assist me too much in monetary terms, even though I am sure many would like to. Even words are enough when it comes to support.

So if anyone has any interest in helping me get rid of this genetic crap, please feel free to either accept one of my quick commissions, or to contact me on Discord for further discussion, (@andaluce)

I apologize for posting this sort of message; it is something very intrusive. But with the censorship in Brazil growing stronger everyday, I don’t even know for how long I’ll have access to PayPal, to be honest.
