My name is Ripley, I'm a trans illustrator and writer, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt request. I’m preparing to embark on an exciting new chapter, relocating from Inverness to Glasgow. This move represents a significant step towards new opportunities, and a fresh start. Moreover, it marks the culmination of a year filled with personal growth and introspection, driven by a fundamental need to be somewhere I can be myself, openly and proudly.

Relocating obviously comes with its challenges; the stress of moving and packing boxes, getting furniture for my new place, and just the whole experience of settling into a completely new environment. This is where I really need help. I’ve set up this GoFundMe campaign to help cover the costs associated with this transition.

Your support, no matter the amount, will make a profound difference. Every contribution will go directly towards moving expenses; transportation (Glasgow is a long way away ), housing costs, and getting the essentials in place in my new home. If you’re unable to donate, sharing my campaign within your network would also be incredibly helpful.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message and considering supporting me during this pivotal moment. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to me.

With gratitude,

Ripley
