Helping Nirvana & Evelyn get to Orlando

Donation protected
Hey guys, hey! It's been an overwhelming start to the New Year, or at the very least, things have been very rough on me and my family since moving to South Dakota. We are having to start over... new house means new expenses and debt. There's been an overwhelming response for me to make a GoFundMe to not only help me and Evelyn get to Orlando for me to speak at the Weight Loss Surgery Foundation of America, but also to help get someone to watch our babies, so that we don't have to worry about putting them on the plane or having to have them in the heat of Florida. (By going to the conference I will also be able to see all of the plastic surgeons there. So I can get reperable consults to help me apply for a grant next year for skin surgery!)  We also could really use some help with normal household items. People ask me to make a registry or open my PayPal or just use this. PayPal is [email redacted] just like with the last GoFundMe. The money goes to exactly as I say, I'm an honest person and we're not doing this to make quick or easy money. Evelyn is paid a fair wage for her labour, but I'm unable to work and I don't have a gigantic YouTube channel that pulls down hundreds of dollars a month, so I'm unable to contribute to our living wages in the sense that most married couples could. Being in a new area and dealing with severe bi-polar lows, I have been unable to really save up the money by making videos has also been difficult.  Evelyn and I still don't have the complete cost of the tickets covered or even enough for rental car so we can get from my mom's to the hotel. Luckily for me, my mother lives in Orlando so we would be staying with my mother not only see her but also to save some money. I was already told that if Evelyn could come she could help me talk during my time slots, and answer questions about what it's like to live with someone who has lost to 300lbs, somebody who has bi-polar, and what it's like to have somebody who's in the social media all the time: ultimately, about being married to me in general.  The girls being in Florida is very hard on me, because it is going to be very hot and Pekingese aren't suited for that temperature. Their noses are very small and the breed has breathing problems to start with. Sake is 11 years old and as you Yuki has half a jaw so if I don't have to bring them I would rather not, it would be much safer for them be able to stay here where they will have the proper facilities in a safer environment.  As far as the house goes, we're still living without furniture. When we were living with Elise, that was all her furniture so we literally have clothes and barely anything else. We're in the market for a decent bed, thrift store love seat couch, chairs, dining table, vacuum, mop... little things that will help me with my chronic pain to be able to still clean the house and still have a happy place to live. Our things from California and Korea have arrived, but are mostly just keepsakes and some dishes. Like I said, we kind of have to start over again, we're living alone for the first time and this is going to be our first real home. So I wanted to put this out here you guys. Don't feel obligated to donate it would just be those of you who have offered and wanted to help us are more than welcome to and we appreciate it more than you know. I love your beautiful gorgeous amazing faces, and thank you for any help you guys have provide here, morally, or just by watching me and my life.  Love,  Nirvana & Evelyn
