💓 STUNNED. An anonymous hero just dropped $250 into the emergency fund. This is a transformative gift. The total is now $671!

This is the tangible cost of a security deposit for a safe apartment in Pittsburgh. This is the "safe landing zone" becoming a reality, built by this community. I also got myself a phone job interview for tomorrow morning, so it's been a very good day, and a very big part of it has been thanks to all of you. 😻

Thank you to this incredible person. Riko (my husky) and I are leaving by Friday. This is happening.

AAAAAAH! 🚀

💥 WE ARE OVER $400! Two Anonymous Heroes Just Pledged $251!

I am absolutely speechless and near tears this morning. (Don't worry! They're joyful!)

Overnight, two unbelievably generous anonymous supporters contributed a combined $251 to this emergency fund, including one staggering, game-changing donation of over $200.

This is the single biggest leap in momentum we have had. This brings our total fund to $421!

This is no longer just hope; this is logistics. This is the one-way rental car to Pittsburgh. This is the security deposit for a safe landing zone. This is the proof that this community is building this bridge right now. This community is my lifeline right now, and I have never been more grateful to it, or to all of you, than I am right now. When I was advised to ask for the current goal amount, I hadn't believed it possible that something like that could be achieved. Or that anyone would want to achieve it for me.

I'm still not sure I've fully processed what it means to me that you have seen me. Thank you, all of you. And thank you to these two incredible, anonymous heroes. You have just tangibly built the floor for my new life.

Riko (my husky) and I are planning to leave by Friday. This is happening. I owe it to you. I owe it to me.

P.S. GoFundMe keeps trying to get me to setup automatic donation thank-yous, and I'm like, "Boy, these people be giving me their hard-earned money, the last thing they deserve from me is a tasteless gingerbread man in the mail." 😹

⭐ URGENT! The situation has escalated. Emergency exit underway.

To my community, I need to update you immediately. The environment here has become actively unsafe and destructive. My personal resources, including my only clean clothes, have been actively sabotaged.

This is no longer a future plan; it is an immediate, critical safety extraction to Pittsburgh. I am leaving with compromised supplies.

I am engaging trans-focused housing services in Pittsburgh (SisTers PGH) to secure immediate sanctuary. The $8,500 #GoFundMe is now for:

🔹 Immediate Resupply: Necessities like essential clothes.
🔹 Securing the Bridge: Housing until #LPC licensure in PA for high-value employment.
🔹 Refugee Status: Life-saving migration from Iowa's hostile environment for #TransSafety & #HRT needs.

Every donation and share right now fuels my immediate safety. If you can help, this is the moment.

P.S. Apologies if I sound weird. I'm still a little numb from what happened. 😿

Some wonderful news—the emergency safety fund has its first donation! 🥳

A huge, heartfelt thank you to Nahum Wengrov for being the first to step up and contribute. That first donation is the most critical one; it breaks the inertia and officially starts the momentum. Thank you, Nahum! 💙

We've taken the first step on the path to the $8,500 goal. If you are able to help, every share and every dollar is a crucial part of building this bridge to safety.
