Support Rae & Rue's Move for Better Health

Hi! Our names are rae & Rue, we are both trans, queer and disabled. rae is severely disabled with a very long list of health conditions, the most notable being VEDS (Vascular Ehler-Danlos Syndrome), a connective tissue disorder that affects their collagen as well as internal organs and their entire cardiovascular system. Rue is also disabled, and also has EDS. We have started this GoFundMe to help us raise money to move from Denver, CO to Portland, OR. We are both having a lot of unnecessary stress from house things, Denver itself, and it has been particularly affecting rae in terms of mental capacity. We felt it was pertinent to share this soon because rae either needs to move or start an anti-psychotic to stay alive, which has the potential to kill their entire DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) system. We have to ship some large bulky items in a pod, like our two outdoor wheelchair ramps, and rae's power wheelchair, all of which weigh hundreds of pounds individually. We have 3 dogs who will be moving along side us, one of which is a service animal for rae.

We were initially planning to use most of rae's disability backpay when it came in, but we can no longer continue with this plan if possible. Thank you for supporting us in our quest to find secure housing that will fit our needs, and provide respite for rae's mental and physical disabilities.
