help josie transition and recovery fund

Donation protected

hello ! my name is Josie and raising money for multiple causes including housing, transitioning, and my basic needs for living. i recently made a much smaller fundraiser that was quickly met, but after paying bills and feeding myself was also quickly gone, but im very grateful it worked out when it did and it gave me the confidence and faith to make this fundraiser. After years of dealing with homelessness and housing insecurity I'm moving into a house with my own room for the first time in years, but part of this process included a lot of repairs and rebuilding a lot of the house so i probably will have to throw in money while helping to do these things. The other main thing this fundraiser for is that im finally deciding im ready to start the first steps of my physical transition, this is going to include laser hair removal (my biggest trigger for dysphoria is my extremely dark body hair that i have a lot of, and I've wanted to get rid of it for years), possibly going to a therapist while this transition is happening, getting prescribed estrogen (as well as trying to get back on medications i need for multiple mental illnesses including chronic depression and generalized anxiety as well as some others i don't feel comfortable sharing), and whatever other costs I'm going to come across while I go through this process, transitioning is more expensive than you can really plan for and im not sure this will fund the whole thing but it's an absolutely good start , I've put off transitioning for years but I don't want to just settle with my unhappiness anymore when I know people are willing to help me , a little bit of this money might also go to getting medication to help me with managing staying clean and dealing with an addiction i am recovering from, so that i can go through my transition healthily and without the other financial burdens that come along with addiction. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for donating or sharing this , it means the world to me and im very ready to really feel like myself and not feel completely lost in my own body. (also sorry i didn't realize i put the goal as $100 before lol, if i don't end up needing this much money im going to use the money to invest in ways to make money from home with different creative endeavors as well as redistributing money to other fundraisers by bippoc trans ppl in need)
