PSYCH DOG FOR MENTALLY ILL TRANSBOY
Donation protected
Hi.
I'm Marxe. I'm a fifteen year old boy and I will admit to some nervousness about starting this go fund me. There are so many important people here and I feel undeserving of your generosity. However, I am walking on the road to recovery and, to start, I need to value myself.
I have fallen into what seems to be rock bottom. I spent a recent week in the hospital, where I learned that the minority group with the highest tendancy of mental illness is trans people. Upon my release, recovery appears impossible. I am doing what I can by seeing a gender therapist, increasing my medications, and looking for effective means of coping.
I'm attempting to adopt a psych service dog which is probably the best option for me. Dogs offer love, playfulness, unfaltering loyalty, and a sense of responsibility and meaning in the owner's life. For me, a teenage transboy dealing with existential dilemmas and a lack of meaning, magnified by the recent death of my father, this type of companion is the best option.
However, none of this is accomplishable without money. All funds from this campaign will go to items announced here, and the necesities of service dog ownership. Most importantly, I will need the actual dog. I plan to adopt, rescuing a homeless animal to recover with. There are costs to adoption though; including spaying/neutering, vaccinations, adoption fees, and transportation. All costs will be accounted for in these updates.
I don't have a specific date I need the money by, however I feel myself sinking deeper into depression daily. Every day seems more difficult to get through and less meaningful. Already, I am unable to trust myself alone in fear that I may attempt something drastic. So, the sooner I'm able to pull myself out of this darkspot, the better.
I would be so appreciative of even five dollars. I have few places left to turn, and your small donation could help me stay alive.
Thank you so much. I know I'm not the best person in the world, and I am definitly not worth nearly as much as many here, but if you could spare a couple of dollars on me, it would help tremendously.
Doners can request stories or art. Stories can be about whatever you want, but there will be limits on the lengths. Every five dollars is worth 150 words
