Going on 2.5 years post vocational lay-off; Perpetual and unending application processes, round-the-clock gig work and ongoing cavalcade of one situational and circumstantial absurdity after another..

The singular consistency and unending sentinel source of guiding light, is the love of my non-human family, my commitment to their high standard of care and comfort and the uninterrupted pleasure and satisfaction in experiencing and taking part in their precious lives.

Those reading this who are otherwise unfamiliar with the overlying (ongoing) theme of my circumstances, let it be clearly known that I can, have and do happily make due with the bare minimum for myself and without complaint. What I can and will never abide, is a lapse in delivery of my commitment, passion and love to the life forms referenced above.

The significant majority of the income I have with any consistent regularity, is earmarked and spoken for before it is earned; supplemental gig work, by it's nature alone, is anything but a consistent figure to be planned around.

For my birthday, just around the corner on the 5th of June; I am forcing the permission on myself to ask for help.

The "target" sum indicated with this fundraising platform is an arbitrary sum. It cannot be stressed more firmly, that absolutely any supplement to funds dedicated to the lifestyles and happiness of my babies is a tremendous service, and will be put to immediate and eagerly appreciated use.
