24 Hours Left!:

Today marks the critical final 24 hours of our fundraising effort. Despite facing increasing challenges this past week, I'm preparing to leave immediately to ensure my safety. We're incredibly close to our goal, and your support now is more vital than ever to help me secure the essentials like food and housing in this transition.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the overwhelming kindness and generosity that has brought us this far. Your support has been a beacon of hope, saving me from the prospect of homelessness. The tears of gratitude I've shed are a testament to the impact you've all made on my life.

However, these next 24 hours are pivotal. While I'll continue to fundraise beyond this point, achieving our goal now is essential for my immediate safety and peace of mind.

Thank you for everything,

Alex

I am Alex, a 21-year-old trans woman navigating life with the added complexity of cerebral palsy. Living in Florida has posed significant challenges for me, especially in the realm of healthcare. The prevailing attitudes and practices of medical professionals towards transgender individuals in this state have forced me into a position where I have to conceal my true identity from almost everyone around me. My earnest aspiration is to move to a state where my identity is not just recognized but also respected and supported. This change would enable me to seek medical care openly and find a community where I can be accepted and celebrated for who I truly am.

Life in a group home presents daily trials. My personal autonomy is severely constrained, compounded by the need to hide my transgender identity in an environment marred by transphobia. I am currently undertaking DIY hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in secrecy, a critical part of my transition. The constant fear of discovery, of losing my home, or worse, facing violence for being true to myself, weighs heavily on me each day.

My dream is a simple yet profound one: to move out of Florida to a place where I can live with dignity, authenticity, and safety. To transform this dream into a reality, I am reaching out for your support. Your generous contributions will assist with:

Relocation Costs: This encompasses moving expenses and finding a home that accommodates my wheelchair, ensuring accessibility and comfort.

Living Expenses: Your support will be a cornerstone as I settle into a new community, helping to cover essential living costs during this vital transition period.

Every donation, regardless of its size, is a step towards a future where I can openly and safely live as my true self in a supportive environment.

If you are unable to contribute financially, sharing this fundraiser within your networks is equally valuable and deeply appreciated.

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to engage with my story and for considering my plea for assistance..

With deep gratitude,

Alex
