hello gentl tumblfolk, please boost this along if you have a minute~

two major things are aligning in my life right now that might make my existence a much healthier & happier one—moving into a place i can call my own & finally getting GRS!

i am a mentally ill trans latinx living with my very queerphobic family in a small apartment in chicago. they have made several thinly-veiled threats over the last few weeks (to the effect having me involuntarily committed for trying to “mutilate” myself, etc.) that have highly motivated me to secure my own living space as soon as possible so that i can transition/recover with some sense of privacy & safety. i plan to move in with my partner & two other lovely queer humans at the end of july/beginning of august; my surgery is set for august 21. my other expenses besides rent & surgery will include groceries, medical (psychiatric prescriptions, doctor’s appointments), therapy (group for ednos/dbt, individual, mandated transition-related counseling appointments), & hormones. total, i need to raise $2500-$3000 in the next 9 weeks.

this week i had to pay two hospitals a combined outstanding balance of $1,200 for inpatient & a trip to the emergency room (unrelated), which was a huge blow to my savings. i am employed, but my employer has harassed me on several occasions & now there are rumors that our department may be outsourced soon, if they don’t just close our branch entirely.

all of this is to say that i would be eternally grateful for any help, no matter how small. my donate button is beneath the search bar on the left side of my blog. i will mail original artwork to anyone giving more than $10 (please allow at least 1 week for spoons to charge). prompts & ideas welcome!

♡ ♡ ♡ thank you for hearing me // muchísimas gracias ♡ ♡ ♡

please help my friend!!!
