Hi, guys. Name’s Marly. My best friend in the world, the whole wide world, is in a bit of a pickle, and unfortunately, he can’t/won’t do anything for himself.

He’s unwell. I don’t know precisely how unwell because, again, his treatment of choice is usually to ignore his issues. He doesn’t talk about it because he doesn’t want to think about it.

Here’s what I do know, though. He’s transmale. He has no money and his mother doesn’t really take care of him; rather, he seems to be the parent. He has endometriosis which causes him pain, though to what extent I don’t know. He has a few rather severe emotional and mental issues that I don’t feel I am at liberty to disclose to you. His health has been failing for weeks now. I don’t know what’s causing it, though I’m sure stress can’t help. And he’ll continue to not do anything about it.

He tried to kill himself tonight AS I WAS TYPING THIS to escape the pain. He tried to overdose on prescription meds he’s allergic to. He NEEDS HELP. I told him I would do this if he wouldn’t, and I am. He needs to see a doctor. He needs to find out what’s wrong with him and GET IT TREATED. I won’t just sit by and watch the one person in this world I love the most fall apart. It scares me. It really does. I lost my dad two years ago, and I’ll be damned if I let my best friend join him.

I work part-time at McDonald’s…I make maybe 50 a week lately, my hours are so bad. He’s unemployed. He needs money. He needs to see a doctor, but he’s told me he refuses to beg. So I’m doing it for him. If you could please donate even a little…I have no idea how much he needs. I don’t, and I wish I did. Any amount can help him. One day we’re going to be roommates…it’s the one thing in life I look forward to the most. That can’t happen if he’s dead. I hate to even think about it, but it came close tonight.

If you don’t want to donate, I’m gonna take this moment instead to plug the fact that he offers commissions. I don’t wanna flood him with requests so I won’t link you directly, but wouldn’t you love a piece of this sweet action in addition to knowing you might help save someone’s life?

(He does lovely humans too!)

I know you would! I do messy cute pony doodles for 4 a pop as well:

Small and quick, yours will look better! (That’s G3 Dream Blue, by the way. I’ll do other animals as well!)

And if you’re not interested in commissioning or donating, could you at least spread the word? I would really appreciate it. Reblog it, all of you, please. I almost lost my best friend tonight and I never want to be this close again.

TO DONATE: Here’s a nifty donation link that you can use without a Paypal account! Or, you can contact me in my ask box (or submissions if you’re worried about the ask being eaten by Tumbeasts). If you want to commission either of us, please ask me!

Thank you so much for your time!
