Dear reader,
My name is Ruin Klarity (they/them). I am a community organiser, freelance artist and bodyworker. For years now, I have been struggling with my health and keeping up with finances. Without emotional or material support from my ‘family’, and after careful deliberation I am moved to ask for help from my community.
In 2019, I was diagnosed with BPD, a disorder that manifests from childhood trauma, a lot of which for me was connected to unstable and violent housing growing up. In 2020, I had a cancer scare and in 2021 a piece of my cervix removed. That had me messed up and laid up for weeks, after an increasingly economically difficult pandemic. I am a survivor of CSA* and this has affected my health in ways that can be hard to manage alone. I incurred in debts in that isolating, terrifying moment in my life. I am now raising funds to support my move/transition into a safe home, help me with therapy costs and generally help me get back on my feet. These funds will also make it possible for me to move away from the abusive dynamics and relationships that have held space in my life for a very long time due to housing insecurity and my own precariousness. The feelings of dread and fear are weighing very heavily on my abilities to take care/connect with myself and connect with my communities. This is mainly because I am having to run and hop around endlessly during this time, whilst recovering and processing the harm of my previous and current living situation. I am overstretched, and this instability makes it particularly difficult to do my bodywork and provide my services.
I am taking this step with this fundraiser, because this transition has been particularly terrifying, harmful and triggering. I am feeling drained and uncertain about the future. This is possibly one of my biggest transitions in 5 years and in many ways my life. Letting go, shifting away and out of heterosexual programming, manipulative family structures and starting again from zero. It's a process and everyday practice to stop suppressing and denying ones experiences, I am still very much learning and sometimes my conditioning still overrides my truth. To arrive at the other side and discover what is there without all of the constant voices of disbelief, power and control. To find my flow again; to have a place where I can be myself so I can regulate and continue the work I love doing most, with focus and consistency.

You can take a look at some of my work and the different projects I am a part of here. I appreciate you taking the time to read, listen and inform yourself about my current situation.
