Hi, I’m Ashley — a zine artist, cross-stitch crafter, and creative survivor currently navigating a very spicy apartment situation (read: the boiler thinks it’s July). Between heat waves, sleepless nights, and heroic garage breezes, I’ve been doing my best to stay cool, stay kind, and keep creating. I turn everyday chaos into comic panels, survival stickers, and handmade crafts — because sometimes laughter and thread are the best tools we’ve got. Right now, I could use a little help. If you’re able to send kindness in the form of: • Grocery gift cards • Hygiene or personal care items • Small donations for essentials …it would mean the world. Every bit of support helps me stay grounded, keep creating, and get through the heat (literally and figuratively). Thank you for being here. Your kindness keeps me going — and yes, I’ll probably turn this moment into a comic panel too. 🛒 Grocery Gift Cards • Walmart / Hy-Vee “$25 = a week of groceries, plus the joy of not living on crackers.” • Instacart “$20 = delivery when the heat wins and I can’t face the store.” 🧼 Hygiene & Essentials • Dollar Tree / Family Dollar “$10 = shampoo, soap, toothpaste — the basics that keep me feeling human.” • CVS / Walgreens “$15 = deodorant, lotion, and maybe a snack for morale.” • Amazon “$25 = flexible kindness — anything from socks to shampoo.” https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/24HW923JQVBDD?ref_=wl_share 💸 Direct Support • CashApp $wickedtart2 / Venmo @crosstitch / PayPal @abaca83 “Any amount = survival boost. Helps with bills, groceries, or those surprise expenses that pop up.”
