About Me & My Family's Situation
For those who don't know me, hi! I'm Link and I'm a twenty-four year old artist. Long story short back in 2021 in November, I was living with a friend while my dad was on the road as a truck driver. While he was away and traveling with my sibling, he suffered from a diabetic coma to which he almost didn't make it.I worried my heart out but thankfully, he did end up making it. Sadly, his job ended up firing him from his service, so the only place he had to live (his truck) was gone and at the same time, my roommates grandmother had hit the late stages of dementia and had to be moved to a nursing home, meaning not just me but everyone in that house would have to find somewhere to go since it was being foreclosed.My roommate was nice enough to drive us to a motel, to which I've been doing artwork ever since. Due to my father's diabetic issues and new heart problems, it's tough for him to find a stable work for him and right now, we don't have the transportation available to really hold down a stable job. We've been stuck in this loop forever now, but it won't stop us from trying to survive. Thanks to the Dragon Age community on Twitter and everywhere, the friends I've made along the way and everyone who still helps, we've managed to make it this far.
