An call for reach my first goal

I was undecided whether to create this goal but I believe that sincerity is the best thing because it is money that you have been giving to me and it is right that you know where it goes! :)
At the moment it s going all to pay my mortgage debts.
Every day I live under stress and I work with worry about that.
For 12 years I have earned, with the old Bon Bon site, a sum of money that allowed me to save money, so I bought a house in 2008. This August I paid half of my mortgage and remain me 10 years to finish to pay my debts with the bank.
I pay for the mortgage € 864 fixed per month that in USD are about: $ 1,000.
I can do as Trump and show you my documents of the depreciation plan of the bank LOL!
At a certain point, however, the PBB site has started to earn less, less and less, less and less ... I admit that had strong suspicions that R would take the money because I've never had CCBILL passwords to see real reports to verify the counts. But I gave him the benefit of the doubt and one day asked him for help, as a friend, to pay my mortgage, only asking him to give up his 50% ( of which he has benefited for 12 years ) for a while, because I did 100% of the site contents, so I proposed for a while to divide 70% for me and 30% for him. I did not ask for borrowed money. But he has refused. So I asked 60% at least. Same. Since he keeps the accounts he can do as he likes with the money.
Actual situation: I not see any money from the PBB site since 2017 payments, not even a penny, because R denies me the royaltiess! Now he is keeping 100% of money, knowing well that the site sell my work and I need my part for my mortgage! Such a friend!
I was hoping with Patreon to reach soon at least 1000 usd per month to pay off debts with the bank and work living safely.
I can do the diet LOL but the thought of not having enough money to pay the mortgage and lose my home, which I paid for 10 years with enormous effort and sacrifices, it does not make me sleep at night.
So my first goal is not to buy other markers, to buy a new computer and such. My first goal is to reach 1000 USD per month to pay my mortage and work at PBB without fear, worries, anguish.
Thanks to the start of Patreon I overcame the depression and I started to draw again, I never stop to thanks my patrons for that!! Help me to keep this situation.
I hope I do not seem pathetic to open a goal for the mortgage of my house XD , but it is the truth.
Losing home is like losing everything. I am not married and I have no children, I have only my art and my apartment.
Thank you for your attention !

Firstly, I want to thank you for sharing your story with us all, Vanessa. <3 I'm so sorry to hear that you still have a mortgage to pay off. :'( Also it makes me sad knowing what R did to screw you over. ;o; Personally, I think it was a great move for you to have a stretch goal for your Patreon page. :) It shows your patreons what our donations are going to when we donate to you. Not to mention it's a win-win situation because you'll have the safety of us supporting you, and we get great rewards in the long run. ^_^ I wish you luck on achieving your $1000 stretch goal this year, Vanessa! You are such a great person that you deserve it all the support as possible! :D I'll also do my best to support you to the best of my abilities. ^o^

2018-08-31 20:27:23 +0000 UTCDear Greg pelase tell me more because someone told me it would not work. But I guarantee that I wrote to him that I am against my work on the site without getting royalties on the sales of my work, and that I would like to close the site and he said no (everything is written). He keep 100% of the sales. Also there is no legal contract of license or assignment of rights of the universe of PBB. PBB is my idea, concept, character design, story, art, colors...all by Vanessa Santato, that is my REAL NAME, not a nickname. I really see no reason why I do not have the right to get royalties on the copyright for sales of my art without a contract from Italy to USA! The copyright born the moment something is made public with your name on it. My signature is on every single PBB art from the first moment published so far. If I have no rights on my art this means I was cheated.
