UPDATE: THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH

Everyone, I've been blown away by your kindness. I now have more than enough squirreled away to get by until I start earning an income of my own, and I'm not going to continue to ask for help when you've nearly quadrupled my fundraising goal. I'll shut this down once your donations clear through this site's internal process and I'm able to withdraw the funds into my bank account. I don't have much else to say except that Black Lives Matter and everyone should be as kind as you've been to me. Thank you, once again. God bless you all.
