(While I know and feel upset that people are reduced to begging on gofundme for medical services that ought to be covered by the government and their very tax dollars, I didn't see a specific category for trans health. Should it not be included under mental health and wellness?)

(And yes, this year has been a hell in a handbasket. I know we all are suffering. I have the particular blessing-slash-curse of being deemed an "essential worker" and only got hazard pay for three months.)

After 28 years on God's green earth I decided to start transitioning. Quite late, I know. Unfortunately my family has decided this is some kind of dealbreaker. I have an elderly dog to take care of and bills to pay. I have been currently trying to save up to purchase a home so that I can get some foster kids and live a normal adult life with my pets and my family, but may not have the time I hoped to have. I also desperately not wish to be homeless again. I have a job but I am still poor and have been screwed over by landlords enough and want to put rent money into something like a mortgage now.

Anyways, I'm a trans man early on my journey with a host of Issues. I have previously donated to various people's gofundmes and whatnot, but right now I need the help I've voluntarily offered to others before. For the first time in my life, after a long history of battling my own internalized transphobia and suicidal ideation, I have conceived an actual future for myself. I don't want to let that go. My little broken family, for all intents and purposes, would rather see me dead again despite the work and love I've put into healing us. Nevertheless, I remain determined to be happy and keep on keeping on. Yet I am currently facing homelessness and the forced separation of me and my pets and everything I hold dear.

So, tl;dr: local communist transgender elderly dog owner is in a bad spot. brother (sister, sibling, beloved), can you spare a dime?
