Hi loved ones, friends, family, and community.
My name is Kai, I’m a Denver-based artist who makes work dedicated to anti-whiteness, exploration of queer identity, and disabled theory. I have been around for a few years in denver working, and may be known under a few stage names, Gay Gamerz is one of my passion projects that has evolved over the years and become a personal home and landing place for me. It started as a podcast with some good friends, which is probably what I could be most recognized from, or our GenderFucked! series of shows highlighting local trans artists, musicians, and fellow creatives. I have been involved in serving the community through mutual aid and directed antiwhite action.
Unfortunately, my work has slowed down to a halt in the past few years because of my health slowly and steadily, then quickly decreasing. My quality of life is drastically different than when I was employed, functional, and not constantly losing blood.
This is one of the harder stories that I have elected to write, and I am barely choosing to put it to paper. I am forced through desperate circumstances to reach out to my communities and request help. I will be graphic with my descriptions of my medical circumstances in the next paragraphs as it’s my story and I wanna share it if you wanna read it. Maybe you’re experiencing similar!
My body is finally shutting down. After my first COVID vaccine, because of my PCOS, being trans and intersex, or something (we never found out why) I had a period that never stopped, just constant uterine bleeding that had nowhere to go.
We elected to perform a full hysterectomy as that seemed the most prudent at the time.
Unfortunately, from the start my recovery has not gone as planned. Instead of just bleeding from my neo-vagina, I also have started bleeding excessively from my rectum, since June 14th, noted in every appointment since then.
The bleeding has not stopped. There is nothing we can find in my intestines (we almost lost a tiny camera looking for a fissure ) that is causing it. I have yet to need a blood transfusion but my levels have been dropping steadily.
My heart, which has a history of tachycardia and extremely irregular and poor pulse, has finally started giving out. I am struggling to oxygenate my blood, to keep my pulse consistent, and other similar issues with my functioning.
I sleep about 20 hours a day and am basically incapable of anything. It has been draining, frustrating, and devastating as my condition has steadily gotten worse, and I feel and have been told that it is not going well for me right now.
I am supported by my savings, money I scrap together from friends, my boyfriend, and my parents. All of us are going into deep debt because of my medical situation. I am presently over 9k in credit card debt alone from my medical needs, not including outstanding hospital bills worth about 3k, or the ongoing bills that are putting my parents into 3k of debt a month.
I don’t want to continue to drain my parents, my boyfriend, and make small asks that do not cover the real issue of my extreme medical debt caused by my extreme medical issues. We need money yesterday to keep us housed, eating, medicated, and safe.
I am so, so grateful to anyone who has asked to help us, who is reading this story, who is invested in me living. I hope to be able to continue to live, explore my passions and possibly one day make money from my art and creations, or go into my love of education and find out how to support myself that way. Who knows what I’ll do! But I need the chance to live to find out. Please, if you can, donate and share to my life fund. You would be helping me, my whole family, my boyfriend and his family, and my two beloved cats, Crawfish and Boots.
Thank you for your time
