RC's post-surgery living expenses

Hey I'm Ripley, and I run 222.5FM Ghostwave Pirate Radio, produce vaporwave visuals and music for the //CHILDRENOFVAPOR, occasionally illustrate books, and spend a lot of my time selling my time to The Man.

I'm getting Gender Confirmation Surgery September 10. I live alone and am paying off tens of thousands in debt, child support, a mortgage, and radio station upkeep costs all by myself. I break even every month, but September I'll be out of work for at least a month, getting half pay on Short Term Disability. They're giving me an STD! lol...

I don't know when it'll kick in, but I'm hearing it'll take at least a week to kick in. We (rather unexpectedly) just started with a new company so I don't even have PTO saved up anymore.

I'm not asking you to pay all of my bills, but I am asking for help so that my power, child support, debt reconciliation, mortgage, etc payments don't bounce. Anything beyond that I get will go towards medical expenses.

Please don't freak out. I will be eating all the dry goods in the house; I've been stocking up on groceries. I'm trying to set money aside in advance. If I can't get enough money to pay for everything I have a few backup plans. I will be streaming as much as I have energy to between dilations and maybe people will donate there. I sell band tees and other weird merch (with discounts to said merch and other perks on my ko-fi) if you'd rather go that route.

If you can't donate, that's ok! Please just share it or pop in on my streams or my radio station and say hello to make me smile. I love you lots and I appreciate you just clicking on this and reading this far. You're cute :3
