Help make my transition possible! :)

I'll start off by saying this: I normally don't like to ask for money, but I'm really needing some help to get my life started again. I've recently started living full-time as female, but with that comes added expenses like getting a new set of clothes to wear, facial hair removal, gender therapist visits, hormones, and at some point surgeries to make my body more in line with how I feel, plus everything else I am forgetting to mention. I wish I could pay for all this myself, but I've had some rough times. However, now that I'm being myself, things are starting to get a lot better!

A little about myself:

I'm a technologist who loves to code and I have a passion for helping others with my ability to code. I'm doing an internship this summer at a cool startup and then in the fall I'm participating in an intensive coding bootcamp called Dev Bootcamp. Only 10 percent of applicants are accepted! After that, I am hoping I will be employed at a startup (possibly the one I'm working at this summer) doing what I love. The awesome thing is, salaries for software developers are really high, so I should be in a better situation then, in regards to money.

How your donation will help me

As I mentioned before, I've had some rough times recently before coming out, and I am very short on money. I expect to be making more by the end of the year, but currently, I don't have any money left over to cover any of my transition related expenses that I mentioned above. The money received on here would help give me the extra money I need to continue my transition while I work towards a stable job. Once I have a development job by the end of the year, I will be able to support myself.

Where the money will go in the next 9 months:

$250 - New wardrobe from Goodwill (no need for fancy clothes yet!)

$270 - Hormones (luckily I have insurance through my Dad!)

$2160 - Electrolysis (yes, it is really that expensive :( but hopefully I won't need to do it for that much longer than 9 months!)

$250 - Doctor/therapist visits (again, having insurance is really helpful)

$125 - Makeup, hair and personal products, etc (hopefully I'm not underestimating that part!)

$140 - New passport with new name and gender (luckily I was able to get enough money to change my name already :))

$100 - One pair of womens flats from Zappos (they are so expensive since I have big feet)

$135 - Eyebrow waxing

$500 - Unexpected Transition related expenses (I know I am forgetting things, so this is a buffer to help with unexpected expenses)

The fun stuff: Rewards!

Since I know how to code and am good with technology, my rewards are mostly related to that. If you need a website or anything of that nature, I'm your girl! I have some rewards designated already, but if a web related project isn't listed, I can work something out :)

Lastly, Thank you so much :)

I really thank you for even being on this page. I know money doesn't grow on trees, so I totally understand if you can't donate. All I ask is that you share this page so that maybe others can discover it. I hope to repay the favor when I start my new job later this year.
