I’m reaching out during a difficult time to ask for a little help getting back on my feet. I’ve fallen behind on a few bills due to unexpected financial challenges. At the same time, I lost my health insurance coverage due to these challenges, which has made it hard to afford the medications and care I rely on.

Right now, my main goal is stability—catching up on overdue bills, reinstating my health insurance, and getting access to the medications I need to stay healthy. Once those immediate needs are covered, any additional support will help create a small safety cushion to try and prevent myself from falling behind again.

Asking for help isn’t easy for me, but I appreciate any support, in all forms. Any contribution, no matter the size, would mean so much and would go directly toward helping me regain stability and peace of mind. If you’re not able to donate, sharing this page with others would also help more than you know.

Don’t know me? I’m a 35 year old disabled, queer, non-binary Minnesotan. By day I work with animals at a veterinary clinic and makeup at a makeup store chain. By night I’m a Burlesque and Drag performer in my local community. I love all things entertainment (movies, music, live shows, dancing!), experiencing new foods, and spending time with my dog, Queenie.

In total, my fundraising goal is $1200, but anything helps! Please note that GoFundMe now lists fundraisers in “goals”, and once a “goal” in a fundraiser is met, it raises the number to the next “goal”.
