Hi, I’m Juniper (they/them). I’m queer, chronically ill, and deeply committed to building safe, loving spaces for our community—especially for those who feel worn down by the world. I’ve always believed in connection, care, and showing up for one another, even when it’s hard.

Right now, I’m in the midst of seeking more answers. My pain is severe, and we’re left with the only possibilities of lifelong or even terminal diagnoses. I’ve been hospitalized three times in the past month just trying to manage it.

I’m facing $15,000 in past-due medical bills, $1,000 in overdue living expenses, and need $500 to continue my pain management treatments so I can function with some dignity.

This isn’t the life I planned. But I’m still here. Still fighting. Still opening my door to others who need rest, resources, and solidarity.

If you believe in showing up for each other—especially when it matters most—I’d be deeply grateful for your support. Every share, every donation, every message of love reminds me: I’m not alone.

In the event of my death, any remaining funds will go to cover funeral costs and help my chosen family cover debts incurred during my illness.
