I have Keratoconus which is a genetic condition that causes the cornea to turn cone shaped. It makes it hard to see, because bright lights form halo effects, obscuring the vision, and making it difficult to read, and in my case, draw. The day before my birthday, I went to a specialist, who gave me three options; Cross linking eye surgery, (which is still considered experimental in the United States, and not covered by insurance) Intact lenses (also not covered by insurance) or complete cornea transplants (Which is covered by insurance, but much riskier than the other two listed).

Although there is some hope, since the Intacts is currently going through trial runs and studies for it to be approved by most insurances, I will learn by october, if I will be an acceptible participant for the study, and receive the intacts at either a reduced price, or not pay at all.

But, worse case scenerio, I will have to pay $5000-9000 per eye.

I cannot afford that, on my walmart salary. My family is barely skating by with what we have, and we still struggle every month to make ends meet. There is absolutely no way we would be able to pay for this surgery.

And, that really scares me.

As an artist, and a writer, I depend so much on my eyes. Keratoconus is not curable, and will only worsten, if they go untreated. I NEED this surgery, but I can’t pay for it, with the few hundred bucks I get from putting up with walmart customers.

So, I turn to you, Tumblr. This is very hard for me to do, since I was raised to believe that if someone can work for their money, they very well should, and reserve the free help to the people who truly cannot help themselves. But, if you feel like you can, and want to donate, please feel free to send that money to my Paypal, at maryzolgarcia90@yahoo.com

If you want to help in another way, please spread my Commissioning Info or feel free to commission a piece of artwork from me directly by sending me an ask here, note me at my Dev.art, or Email me your information at the same Email stated for my Paypal.

Simply re-blogging this really helps as well.

Thank you for taking your time for reading this out.

A rather in-depth commission from San Diego Comic Con. It’s Captain America as a kid, fighting off some bullies. Even before he drank the Super Soldier Serum, he still stood up for justice.

Please!
What are you paying for? If it’s for an item that is physically being shipped to you, then by all means continue!
But if it is for digital art, please reconsider!

This means that paypal is expecting me to ship a physical item to you!
And the more times that I receive money for goods, and do not ship through them, the more it counts against me.
Too many and paypal can elect to hold my funds for thirty days every time I receive them, until it reevaluates my account.
Which means while the customer has their deserved art, I do not technically have money yet.

So PLEASE always send payment for digital art via SERVICES and not GOODS!

(you can get a refund if need be just as easily by selecting services as you can goods!)

Please read this!

Hey guys! I have come across an unfortunate situation of late. I had to rush to an ER this last week and had to be put into emergency surgery for my very, very badly behaved gallbladder. What they thought would be a one hour outpatient surgery turned into three hours in surgery, and three more days in the hospital.

Point of all this, and it pains me to even ask, is I am very much in need of money. By the end of this I will have missed three weeks of work, with no compensation, and the hospital bills will be frankly, insurmountable. I’ll be paying that for years to come.

All I’m hoping for at this point is to pay my bills and perhaps get some money for the first few payments to the hospital.

If you have some money to spare, please, please, look here. If you can’t, a signal boost would be amazing.

Thank you so much for your time.

Hey, guys?

If you’ve got the spare cash, consider getting a commission. And consider, if you can, paying full price. Vylla’s made some incredible art for this fandom, some incredible art of characters that often get forgotten or ignored. We need to support this, if we can, and when we can.
