demigynoid:

my name is Jess and I am struggling. I am a 30 year old trans lesbian with C-PTSD, ADHD and OCD. I am a lifelong abuse survivor and I am trapped in a financially dependent relationship with my immediate family. Although they could afford to fully support me as their disabled daughter and only child, what they give me is absolutely nowhere near enough to live on and keeps me in forced contact with them as well as struggling profoundly to recover from three decades of psychological abuse, which will continue as long as I am forced to maintain contact. They are financing their upper middle class retirement plans and almost yearly world-travel by artificially keeping me in poverty.

I want nothing more than to gain financial independence, but right now I am unstable, unemployed, and in serious need of financial help to pay for my basic needs. The income I get from my family is hundreds of dollars less than my basic living expenses every month, and I am absolutely not ok enough to work more than a very small amount right now. I am trying to get off of an anti-depressant with a withdrawal commonly described as “worse than heroin” (venlafaxine/effexor) and I’ve still got about 40% of my max dose left to go. I have severe anxiety and depression from my C-PTSD, I spend most days battling viciously self-destructive intrusive thoughts, and I am physically debilitated from withdrawal symptoms to the point where I can’t currently hold employment with any reliability whatsoever. I’m trying to find something I could do part-time from home with my own hours, but haven’t had any luck so far.

I am fighting as hard as I can for my recovery and for the highest level of autonomy and self-sufficiency I can possibly achieve. I have wonderful friends, two impossibly perfect fur-babies and an incredible girlfriend that absolutely make my life worth living and fighting for.

But until I can get past this completely brutal withdrawal and hopefully get some help from EMDR, which I am about to start in a couple weeks, I need help pretty badly.

My girlfriend and I have two electric/heat bills due which total $567.55. She makes $9 an hour part time and is disabled herself. The income I get from my family is also now going down every two months until it’ll barely cover rent by this summer, because they believe that their money “enables” me and because I inconvenienced them too much by surviving an electrical fire which destroyed half of my earthly posessions earlier this year.

We’ve applied for LIHEAP (no answer yet) my girlfriend gets food stamps and medicaid, and we have no car or savings. If you can afford to donate anything to help right now, please help us. I know I’ve been asking for donations here for a very long time now, and I am so grateful for the huge outpouring of support I’ve received so many times before. I promise I am trying as hard as I can to recover so that I don’t have to do this anymore.

my teeth were smashed out in a transphobic assault and i’m so ridiculously close to being able to get a heavy piece of dental work done, i’m only about 375 dollars away from being able to make an appointment that’s going to give me more than one tooth that i can actually chew with and eating won’t be nearly as much of an agonizing struggle, if anyone can contribute anything it would be so fucking incredible, if multiple throw in five or ten bucks i’ll be there in no time and can schedule the appointment, please please please if anyone can contribute it will be appreciated so much and i will be grateful beyond words 🖤

and i have a venmo and cashapp, both of those are LyrafromtheInternet, again i’m so fucking grateful for any help with this, i’m working full-time and i have medicaid but i’m just not able to afford it myself with my pay and my insurance will only cover extractions right now which will only hurt me at this point and leave me without the few teeth i have to be able to chew with. begging sucks, but i’m fucking desperate and hopeful. thank you 💜

at least three people have actually paid money for my game?

this is the first time ever in my life that someone has paid me money for anything I created and, I’m cry friends

anyway if you want to check out my game about sad trans angels on the run in a fascist dystopia you can find Exodus at http://fadingroots.itch.io

it’s a Belonging Outside Belonging game based on Ezra Furman’s album Transangelic Exodus, with no GM and no dice, playable by 2-4 players but best with 3, and it’s free to download. I’m also looking for more playtesters if anyone is interested!

Hi My Name Is Minnie and I just lost my job for being trans and going to the bathroom

toffins:

dukeonkled:

It’s your basic story, old woman sees trans woman in the bathroom, old woman calls to complain to Mcallister’s Deli, company says be a man or bust.
Needless to say I busted like fine china.

But that leaves me with one part time job unless I can find another employer in my area willing to work with my current schedule.

My parents currently take half of almost every check and after my basic needs I’m left with almost nothing, and this is a problem when I’m working two jobs (now one) trying to move and actually start living my life

Please help me get out of this state, anything at all pushes me closer and closer to finally being free of this hellhole.

If you can’t donate please rb this, I’m desperate to get out of here.

My mother has recently gotten physical over me losing this job, I hate to put any pressure on anybody but this situation has gotten to code red.

please help minnie come over!!!!!! she needs to be safe and i am makin her a safer place to live at my apartment up in iowa!!! help her all you can please it would mean so much!!!!

Help a Trans Girl Survive Her Surgery

themaddahlia:

So I’m pretty bad at coming up with catchy and funny headlines to draw people’s attention so I’m going to get right to the point. 

As of right now I am planning to have my grs this spring/early summer. But the problem I’m facing is living costs. I obviously won’t be able to work while I’m recovering but will still need to make rent. I’m trying to put away any amount of money I have towards this fund but I could really use any and all help I can get. 

I know this isn’t a life or death situation and I know money is hard for a lot of people so I’m just asking those who can spare anything, take care of yourselves first! At the very least though reblogging this would mean A LOT to me. 

My Paypal is: paypal.me/MadDahlia

I’m open to other ideas too so if anyone has any send me a DM! 

Thank you for taking a bit of time to read this, it means more than you know.

There’s no easy way to start off this post.

Brookhill Village in Charlotte, NC, is being demolished. Hundreds of African-American families are going to be evicted, and their are no plans to offer them any sort of affordable alternative to their homes, which are now being demolished.

Developers like Shook Kelley are actively demolishing the neighborhood and replacing it with higher-end housing that will “attract millenials” without a second thought of what will become of Brookhill’s current residents.

In other words, this is another step in the process of gentrifying Charlotte, making it essentially unlivable for all of the communities that have lived here throughout its entire history.

The developers and architects of this project to displace an entire community have continued shamelessly and unchallenged, what little publicity this event has received has been glamorous news reels, talking of plans to “revitalize” a working-class community.

This Thursday, December 13th, I hope that I can help change that.

A small organization has gathered around the purpose of offering some kind of meaningful resistance - I am proud to say that I have been doing what I can to aid in these efforts.

The main goal of everyone involved has been to organize a community meeting this Thursday in order to rally the community to defend their homes.

However, as you can imagine, this is not as simple as handing out flyers and expecting everyone to be there - I must once again stress that the residents of Brookhill are working class families who work long hours, and need a material reason to show up in opposition to a developer who is literally burning down flyers and posters that mention the event.

The organization, STP Charlotte, has vowed to do their best to provide transportation to and from the meeting as well as provide food and child care at the meeting itself. As you can imagine, this costs money.

If you have the money to spare, I ask that you send what you can to help organize this meeting. This really means a lot to me, but it would certainly mean a whole lot more to the families living in such a precarious housing situation.
