Aid Parker's Recovery and Return

Donation protected
Hi everyone, I'm Parker (he/they), and I'm reaching out for support as I embark on an out-of-state healing journey for 30-90 days of intensive eating disorder treatment. This is a crucial need for my health, especially as an LGBTQIA+ person in a community disproportionately affected by eating disorders (learn more here).

My goal is to return home by August, healthier and able to sustainably resume full-time classroom teaching. I miss my students and want the energy to show up and complete my daily living activities while I pursue my passions: yoga instruction, drag advocacy, performing arts, music, and writing.

To make my recovery possible, I need help with the basics. Being out of work means I need support for:

  • Lodging: $300/month (one-time for treatment stay)
  • Home Bills: $1,250/month (to keep things running at home)
  • Groceries: $400/month (basic needs, super important)
  • Gas: $50/month (daily treatment transportation)
  • Auto Repair: $200 (one-time essential maintenance)

Any contribution, big or small, would alleviate my financial stress, making it possible for me to heal. Thank you to my beautiful community for all the emotional and practical support you offer me every day.

With love and hugs,
Parker
