Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out today with a more personal message because I’m currently facing a difficult financial situation and could really use some help from...well, from anyone willing to help.

As some of you know, my mom passed away last year, and I’ve been handling a lot of things on my own. Recently, I’ve been hit with a huge invoice related to her apartment costs and other expenses, and it’s more than I can manage alone. The total is around 3,600€, and I’m really struggling to cover it. I barely started my full-time job about 3 months ago and I have no savings whatsoever. To make matters worse, they set the deadline for the invoice in one week...Just one week. I won't be able to manage that so I will try to drag it out for as long as I can.

If you’ve enjoyed my visual novel or want to support my work, any help would be greatly appreciated. Whether it’s through a small donation or sharing this post, anything would help. I am not happy that I have to ask for help like this, but I am at the end of my rope...It's too much to deal with on top of all the other stuff that's going on. 

I’m really passionate about continuing my work and creating content for our community, but this sudden financial stress really hit me hard. I opened the envelope yesterday thinking that it might be a few hundred euros or so that I need to pay, but it's not even close. Your support, in any form, would be a huge help during this tough time. So if you enjoy Light My Way and want to see it go one, I would be very grateful if you could help me in any way you see fit.

Here’s a link to the Ko-Fi page. It doesn't take as much in tax as Patreon does, so if you could use this link that would be great. The second way is if you want to donate anything via PayPal directly.

I’m deeply grateful for everyone who’s been part of this journey with me, and I’ll keep pushing forward. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any support you can offer. 

As a final note: Chapter 5 is now available for the public. Chapter 6 will be as well once it is ready as a thank you to everyone for your continued support.

I hope you enjoy them both.

See you in Stadia! -Hadrian Maximus
