Support Beaux's Urgent Medical Needs

Hello all ~ my name is Beaux. I’m a queer trans poc who has had some really shitty horrific luck when it comes to my health as of late. My life has been flipped upside down and I feel as if I’m drowning not only in pain but all the ways in which becoming ill has affected every aspect of my life since.

I have undergone two emergency surgeries in a three and a half week span and was admitted to the hospital for ten days. I experienced a right kidney infection then three weeks later a left kidney infection. Talk about a double whammy from hell.

Never did I think bleeding every time I urinate and being in pain all day every day was going to become my normal. I can’t even bend over to put on clothes or shoes without searing pain and losing my breath.

I’ve had to medically advocate for myself after receiving no continuity of care while having an ABSOLUTE need for additional surgeries once my infections eased up a bit. Both surgeons who did my surgeries are out of network providers and I have yet to find an in network provider that can see me before September. Due to the severe pain I am in I made the tough choice to book a surgery for Monday 7/7 by one of said out of network surgeons to speed up my process to better health. I just can’t afford to wait around searching for an in network doctor who won’t be able to see me for months. I’m so fearful of renal failure and other complications that may arise if I can’t get these things done soon.

I haven’t been able to work since May and have used over half of my FMLA. I fear I may run out and lose my job. So far I haven’t been able to get disability and have no familial support. I’m truly scared for my future.

I feel lost and exhausted by everything.

All of this has caused my already shaky mental health to plummet. I truly can’t recall the last time I’ve been this low. I’ve struggled with si in the past due to mental illness but suffering through so much physical pain that you don’t think you can take it anymore is entirely new to me. I’m just taking it a day at a time but it’s unbelievably hard. I’m tired of being miserable and wouldn’t ask for help if there was any way I could avoid it.

If you are able, I ask that you please help me ease this financial burden, anything helps. If you are unable to financially help I ask that you please share so that perhaps others who can will see this.

Here is a list for the use of funds.

- rent

- food (for myself and my cat)

- medical bills (copays, coinsurance, out of pocket costs, medication, etc)

- transportation to and from medical visits

- utility and necessity bills

- therapy

I truly appreciate you taking the time to read this if you’ve stuck through to the end. I’m hoping for easier days to come.
