Greetings nerds.

Many of you know me from places such as the Bristol Renaissance Faire, my Vampire: The Masquerade LARP, gaming nights of Arkham Horror, or my newest venture at the Elmhurst Escape Room.

I'm Noelle, and I've had a bit of a time.

Over last summer, I had a meltdown. A classic, over-the-top, screaming and crying and unable to work snap. Bonus points for being unable to determine whether or not the world was real. Maybe it was the power of 2021. Maybe it was being a trans woman in the current political climate. Maybe it was the nonsense and chicanery I've lived through in my life. Regardless, it was time to get help.

And I did! I spent several weeks in an intensive outpatient program for trauma, after securing health insurance for the bulk of the expenses.

Unfortunately, not all fees are so easily covered. The bill went for $19 grand to $3 grand. Now I'm asking for your help to clear that debt, and to repay the friend who so graciously lent me enough to pay the immediate bill.

Can you help a queer nerd out?
