I’m a trans boy, and I’m starting this fundraiser because school has become a very difficult and painful place for me. Instead of feeling safe and supported, I’ve faced bullying, exclusion, and constant stress simply for being who I am. Every day, I try to stay strong, but it’s been really hard on my mental health and my ability to focus on learning.

I love learning and I want to succeed in school, but the environment I’m in now makes that feel almost impossible. I’ve tried to push through, hoping things would get better, but over time it’s become clear that staying here isn’t safe or healthy for me.

Changing to a new school—one that is more inclusive and supportive of LGBTQ+ students—would give me the chance to start fresh. It would mean learning in a place where I can focus on my education instead of worrying about being judged or hurt. Unfortunately, transferring schools comes with costs like enrollment fees, uniforms, and transportation, and my family and I can’t afford it on our own.

I’m asking for help so I can move to a school where I feel accepted, respected, and safe. Every donation, no matter how small, helps bring me closer to a future where I can learn, grow, and be myself without fear.

If you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean just as much to me. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for supporting me.

With gratitude,

Jaden
