<div>Greetings, my name is Genevieve Ma’yet, and I appreciate you taking a moment to read my brief introduction. I am a small business owner, a transgender woman, and an astrophotographer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The first time I came out was to my best friend at the time, who in a single night, told all my coworkers. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The next day, I quickly lost that job and when I spoke to my best friend at the time and asked if they told anyone, they responded with, “if I wanted to keep it a secret, I should not have told them.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Yet, I keep moving forward even after losing a child in a divorce which nearly broke me, multiple family members, and at this point, it has been over 15-years since my father and I spoke.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So, after 19-years I moved from Texas fearing that my teacher certification would be revoked for being transgender, to Oregon. Like many, I thought of Portland as being a representative of the state and quickly had that bubble popped as I was repeatedly called an “it” and misgendered constantly by administrators. What I have discovered is that on the coast, transgender people are tolerated, and to the east, it is unwise and unsafe to travel.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am tired of my equality, hope, and security disappearing each election cycle leaving me feeling lost and uncertain about my future while in this country. In the wake of this political shift, unpredictability and insecurity looms large, making it challenging to envision a future where the principles of equality, hope, and security are upheld and protected.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Therefore, I am seeking contributions to assist with the legal expenses required to obtain Italian citizenship.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each donation will receive a reciprocating gesture since I have never been able to get without giving.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lastly, my goals are:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Raise $6,000 to go towards the cost of this process;
</li>
<li>Donate 10% of money to Southern Oregon Coast Pride;
</li>
<li>To Plant 250 trees through One Tree Planted.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and support, which are instrumental.
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
