Hi, I’m Ashley Wilson (she/they). I’m a 25 year old trans woman living in Utah, making friends, finding love, and just vibing along the way.

I’m trying to leave a tough situation. My relationship with my family has been rough since I came out as transgender, and while I tried making things work, it’s gotten to be too much for me to handle. One person whom I’ve been having issues with was recently diagnosed with late stage cancer, so I decided to set aside our differences for awhile because I felt compelled to help this person out, but things have gotten so tense between us that I feel like I’ll only do more harm than good for both of us.

I need to move out, but having lost hours at work a few months ago and the job market being the way it is, I’ve found myself racking up more debt than I can handle. While I used to have stability in January, I have found myself living paycheck to paycheck, unable to save a dime to move out on my own. I figure if I eliminate my debt load, I can scrape up enough money to afford a $1.2k apartment. But with all this debt, all these bills I have to pay, it’s a very steep uphill battle that I now realize I cannot walk alone.

Thank you, and may all the good you let out into this world make it back to you tenfold!

Ashley
