Help Indigo Overcome Debt and Health Challenges

Donation protected
My name is Indigo Thellen (they/them). I am a low-income college student struggling to pay for school, rent, and bills. I have $10,000 in credit card debt because I have not been able to work much in the past year. In May 2024 I tore my MCL in my right knee and then reinjured it in August 2024 before it was done healing. I then fractured my left foot on Thanksgiving. I have finally recovered from those injuries but just had a double-incision mastectomy on May 12th, 2025. I have Medicaid for health insurance and due to recent federal changes, things are going to be costing me more money, including my three prescriptions. My food stamps were taken away, and friends have been trying to help me with food. My car's engine gave out and was totaled three days before my surgery. I now have a lot of debt, no car or way to work, and I am still recovering from my surgery. My rent per month with utilities is $1,000. I have multiple jobs, but I have not been able to work much being a full-time college student and all of my injuries. I never ask for help because I have always tried to do everything on my own and support myself, but I have no choice. I used my credit cards to pay my bills, and now I have had to leave college. I am hoping that this will just be a gap in college, but now my future is uncertain. I am a 20-year-old non-binary person who has many struggles with hate crimes and online hate. I have depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, gender dysphoria, and OCD. I really need financial help, and I wish I asked for it before I was stuck in this hole. I have even borrowed over $3,000 from friends who are trying to help me get back up on my feet. I am a hard worker, an activist, and a good person. All I try to do is help the people around me even though I am struggling myself. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Please share even if you can't donate. I appreciate it.
