Hi, my name is Mina, and I’m an aspiring artist and illustrator. Unfortunately, life has thrown me several curveballs. I've been battling health challenges, including surviving cancer, living with Crohn's disease, and closely monitoring a condition related to my abdominal aorta. On top of that, I’m facing financial difficulties, struggling with accumulated debt, and currently living without a permanent home in Slovenia.

Despite these overwhelming challenges, my passion for art has kept me going. Drawing and illustrating is not only my way of expressing myself but also my way of coping with life's hardships. It’s the one thing that makes me feel alive and hopeful for the future.

However, due to my financial situation and lack of stability, I am unable to fully focus on my art. I don’t have the materials I need to create the art I envision, and I struggle to afford even the basic living expenses. That’s why I’m starting this fundraiser to help me continue doing what I love and rebuild my life.

The funds raised will help cover my basic living expenses, including rent, food, and medical costs. They will also enable me to invest in essential art supplies and online courses to develop my skills as an illustrator. Your support will allow me to focus on creating art and working towards financial stability, so I can give back to the community and inspire others who are facing similar challenges.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings me closer to my goal of turning my passion into a sustainable career. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for supporting my journey.

With gratitude,

Mina
