<div><strong>My name is Santi. I am a queer, trans, Boricua person with big dreams of offering 5NP Acupuncture for free/low cost to community members in Portland, Oregon. I currently live paycheck to paycheck working in landscaping &amp; as a front desk associate for a wellness center. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>I am hoping to raise $350 by April 25th to attend the first available 5NP trainings at Working Class Acupuncture. </em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Below is the breakdown of cost of training, certification, and registration + lost income. 
</div>
<ul>
<li>2-day training &amp; certification: $250
</li>
<li>5NP Technician Registration : $100
</li>
<li>Missing two days of work: $500
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My initial goal of $350 is to cover the cost of training, certification &amp; registration. If I can reach this initial goal, I will raise my goal to help cover costs of missing work.

<div>5NP is an acu treatment focusing on 5 acupoints on the ear. It was introduced to the US by members of the Black Panthers &amp; Young Lords in the 60s/70s to treat opiate addiction and support folks through detox. These 5 points help treat issues like chronic stress, PTSD/emotional trauma, and addiction.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I feel called to follow in the footsteps of my Boricua Revolutionary Ancestors/Elders &amp; be trained up in this incredibly accessible, impactful, healing modality.

<div>Below is a documentary called Dope is Death that discusses the social justice context in which the 5-Needle Protocol was developed.

<div>The heading of this fundraiser is a video of what 5NP integrated into community healing spaces can look like by the people in my homeland of Borikén.
