My name is Lydia and I am a transgender woman living in a deep red state. Our rights are currently under attack. I no longer feel safe here and no longer have much of a support system in place in my state. There's nothing for me here, but there is a better state I can move to with plans in place if I can secure funds while also trying to find a steady job in the meanwhile. All donations from here will be stored into my savings account until I need to use them to make my move.

I hate asking for money, but these are difficult times. I appreciate any donations and will keep you all updated on my circumstances in the months to come.
