Hi everyone,
My name is Methas Tariya, and I am a Native iOS Developer and Manga Artist currently facing the hardest period of my life. Since being laid off over 12 months ago, I have been fighting an uphill battle to secure a new role.
Despite my technical skills, the job market has been incredibly tough, and I have faced countless rejections. I haven't been idle—I’ve been taking freelance gigs, creating art for comic events, and publishing a weekly manga just to survive. But I have now reached a breaking point.
The Situation:
Due to prolonged unemployment, I am currently facing legal action regarding debt. More critically, I am battling Depression and Bipolar disorder. My medication and treatment costs reach $300+ (10,000+ THB) per month. This medication is not a luxury; it is vital for my stability and my ability to continue coding and searching for work.
How your support will help:
I am seeking support to cover 3 months of my essential costs while I secure a new professional role:
- Medical Care: $300/mo for vital medication and psychiatric treatment.
- Survival & Workspace: $600/mo for rent, food, and high-speed internet (my essential tools for coding and job interviews).
Total Goal: $3,000 (to cover 3 months of stability).
I am not looking for a handout, but a hand up. I continue to code and draw every single day despite the legal and mental pressure. Your support will "buy me the time" I desperately need to stabilize my health and get back into a professional iOS role.
Thank you for your kindness and for believing in my journey.
