so my life is once again in danger

I'm a venezuelan refugee in Spain since 2019. My focus was entirely on escaping and staying in a safe country. When I got here, I got the help of an accountant/manager to start working legally.

He committed fraud in my name without telling me and refused to take responsibility. I was penalized to pay €8600 for his mistake.

I'll add the whole explanation after the read more because you need context to understand what he did.

And now if I can't pay this thing, my residence will be taken away. I will be deported.

I've tried so hard to raise this money. More work, more marketing, preorders, asking for a loan, but nothing has worked.

I have until next month to pay it so I can renew my residence.

All I wanted was to do things right. I thought seeking a professional to handle the legal aspects of my business was the right thing to do. I thought I could finally breathe after being treated like a criminal for years in Venezuela, when all I want is to make my silly little figurines in peace.

I need to take care of my babies (cats) and my parents who are still stuck in Venezuela. I only make enough to live + take care of them, and it's become clear that I can't raise this money by work alone.

So please, any help is appreciated. Reblogs, orders, commissions. I'm so incredibly embarrassed to make this post, but I'm desperate. I don't want to be deported. I don't want to be an illegal alien. I don't want to live in constant fear again.

Here's my Ko-fi link, thank you for reading

There's some context needed to understand what happened, so here it goes.

In Spain, you need to pay a monthly fee of €300 in order to run a business. This goes to the Social Security.

The fee is mandatory, but the government realized it was unfair to charge it from the beginning to a business that's only starting. So they established a reduction of €240 for new entrepreneurs, for 1 year. After that, they'd slowly raise it.

They also gave benefits to people living in certain areas, especially small towns. The fee reduction extended for 6 extra months with this, but only applied as long as you continued to live there for 4 years.

I lived in a small town for 1 year. Then I moved to the closest small city.

But this accountant guy asked for this 6 month extension in my name without my consent.

So then the government demanded I pay the whole €240 for each month ever since I started my business. I went through all the legal processes to ask them to review this thing but it was impossible. They ignored everything. It didn't matter that I only received the benefit for the 1 year that I would've been given anyway for being a new entrepreneur. It didn't matter that I would never be able to afford to pay this in the 15 days they gave me.

If that wasn't enough, I got sick with covid twice, and missed 4 months of work in total, months I got 0 income because they also won't ensure me until I pay the thing. So those fees were also added to the debt + late fees that continue to grow.

Summary: Basically he promised the government I'd live in a small town for 4 years, and when I moved before then (because I had no idea he had done this) they demanded I pay back ALL the benefits they had granted me in the past year.

the note clarice sent to ardelia haunts me. because what do you MEAN she sent her an emerald ring that has BOTH of their initials carved in it. oh my god

JODIE FOSTER as CLARICE STARLING • The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

recently reread sotl and I'm still not over Clarice and Crawford—

Jack Crawford was outside too, his car parked behind the van in the limousine lane. He’d had Bella’s relatives all night. “I…” he started. “You know what you did. You hit a home run, kid.” He touched her cheek. “What’s this?” “Burnt gunpowder. The doctor said it’ll work out by itself in a couple of days—better than digging for it.”

Crawford took her to him and held her very tight for a moment, just a moment, and then put her away from him and kissed her on the forehead. “You know what you did,” he said again. “Go home. Go to sleep. Sleep in. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”

the way we didn't to see Crawford tell Clarice "Starling your father sees you." in the movie IS WRECKING.

Thought this was funny so I doodled it rq, thanks @mvrcetune

Tfw when your girlfriend keeps traveling to solve a case (finally drew how I see Ardelia in my head)

we may not have clarice appearing in the x files but we DO have jodie foster saying this

The Silence of the Lambs (1991) | dir. Jonathan Demme

i'm sorry but when i'm watching silence of the lambs i can never ship clarice and hannibal. jodie foster is serving too much futch realness and anthony hopkins's performance is reminiscent of a retired old queen. who's lavender couple is this
