Bobby's Road to Recovery: A Call for Help

Donation protected
Hello everyone, my name is Bobby if you don’t know. I’m making this GoFundMe in great defeat and with not many places to turn, and I cannot tell you how crappy I feel having to make this.

I'm a roadside technician, mechanic, transgender advocate, drag performer, fiancée, and cat dad. I love my life!

About a year ago, I finally got scheduled to repair my AC joint in my right shoulder. I’ve been in pain for over 13 years following a childhood injury, and it’s finally time to repair it. I was supposed to go under the knife in March, but I had to reschedule as I wasn’t eligible for short-term disability through work yet.

So, I scheduled the surgery right outside of my eligibility which was August 7th, 2025.

On July 26, 2025, I was performing at a local bar in Toledo to make ends meet financially, and I unfortunately fully dislocated my right patella (kneecap) in the middle of my performance.

I’ve seen two doctors, both say I need to see a surgeon as the damage is so severe I cannot walk.

Which means I cannot work these last two weeks to set our bills up before I’m off for 2-3 months following my shoulder surgery… and now this.

If you have the ability, please donate. Share, help in any way. With this surprise injury, I’m worried about losing my home and my cat's home. I work 40-50 hours a week to be the main income to our household and me losing my income this suddenly is really the thing that could be our entire loss.

Thank you so much for reading.
