Hi! We’re Jodi and Liz, a trans lesbian couple living in Texas. We hope to eventually find work as artists—screenwriting and music, respectively—but right now, we both work other jobs.

Like a lot of queer people, we’re having a difficult time of it. We have been in constant financial struggle for the past several years, both of us stuck working part-time. Furthermore, Liz has a chronic pain condition and her mom, Tina, is severely chronically ill and has been bedridden for years now. We have very little in the way of a local community, so we’ve had to support ourselves as best we can.

Last year, we resolved to move to Colorado. We have friends and family there and the climate is much better for Liz and Tina. However, saving up for such a big move has been completely impossible. In other words, if we want to make it out of the state, we’ll need some help.

All we want to do is live good lives and achieve our dreams. Getting out of Texas and reaching our loved ones in Colorado would do wonders for that goal.

Our donation goal is based on some very rough cost estimates. These are:
