Hi, I’m Neo. I’m 19 and a community college student working toward becoming a therapist for LGBTQ+ youth. I spend most of my time stocking shelves at a grocery store and reading niche manga, but right now, I’m struggling to keep my head above water.

I’ve been binding my chest for years to cope with dysphoria. My ribs hurt constantly, and while you "get used to it," I've realized I shouldn't have to just to exist. Between rent and bills on a minimum-wage paycheck, I have nothing left to put toward the healthcare I need to feel like myself.

I am trying to raise $5,000 to cover these costs so I can finally focus on my future and my education. I know what it’s like to be broke, so please don’t feel any pressure. If you can’t donate, even just sharing this link would mean a lot.

Thank you for reading and for your support.
