Hi everyone,

I’m writing this because my girlfriend, Ashlyn, urgently needs help. She’s a vibrant, loving, and resilient trans woman living in North Carolina, but the environment here has become increasingly unsafe for her. The rise of anti-trans legislation, hate-filled rhetoric, and hostility toward LGBTQ+ individuals in the state has made it clear that she is not welcome or protected here.

As if that weren’t enough, Ashlyn’s family has been a constant source of pain and trauma. They’ve refused to fully accept her for who she is, constantly undermining her identity and creating an environment of conditional love and rejection. Being stuck in this combination of a hostile state and an unsupportive family has taken a huge toll on her mental health and well-being.

Ashlyn deserves so much more than this. She deserves to live in a place where she feels safe, loved, and free to be herself. That’s why we’re asking for your help to move her to New York, a state that offers the legal protections, community support, and opportunities she needs to rebuild her life.

We’ve set a goal of $5,000 to help cover:

• Moving expenses: Packing supplies, transportation, and any immediate costs to get her safely relocated.

• Initial rent and security deposit: Securing a safe, stable home in New York, where rents and deposits are expensive.

• Basic living essentials: Furniture, groceries, and necessities to help her settle into her new home.

• Mental health support: Therapy sessions to help her heal from the trauma caused by her family and the hostility she’s endured.

Ashlyn’s life has been defined by survival for too long. This move isn’t just about starting over—it’s about giving her the chance to live, to heal, and to thrive in a place where she’s celebrated for who she is.

Every single donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this campaign with your friends and networks means the world to us.

Thank you for standing with Ashlyn during this critical time and helping to make this life-saving move possible. Together, we can give her the future she deserves.

With love and gratitude,

Rhysian
