Help with Charlie's Indigiqueer affirming care!

Donation protected
Like all of us, Charlie is too shy to ask for help himself. Alex Gino created a fundraiser for me with my sister's help--I'm making one for Charlie/CharTom! Pay it back, pay it forward. Please help my young friend. He is reaching the end of in-network time with his chosen provider *IMPORTANT*

From CharTom (all pronouns):

I'm an Indigiqueer FL Black Seminole. My father is Black Seminole from the Fort Pierce Reservation. My mother is a a McHenry, a descendant of the Newberry Six Lynchings in 1916. That's a lot of story to carry! But I have their complete support in who I am and my mother believed I was 2SQ when I was very young. Despite the injustices my family and kin have survived, we are mostly strong and loving people.

I'm an MFA student in poetry and I love playing the guitar! I've written some Native book reviews and done interviews with my friends. I want to write a book in the future. I'm working on depressive disorder. I want to be in recovery from my ED.

The Seminole Tribe of Florida healthcare does not cover all of my gender affirming care. I'm about to lose (last day 10/16) important services. My father's health and recovery have been severely affected by Covid with cardiac arrest. Our family is strained. I wonder if you can help me carry some of the burden?

I'm at a crossroads at a crossroads. I don't completely trust white medical professionals , and they don't know about who I am--or else they want to explain "Two-spirit people" to me. It's hard to find a good match. On the other side, not all my kin are supportive and there's bigotry in my family and clan.

I'm an Indigiqueer 21 yr old Black Native bi boy trying to exist in the colonized now fascist state of Florida. It hurts, friends. Reach out your hands--I want to see you.

Shonabish!
