Mending Oak's wing helping them heal and get back on track
Donation protected
After competing at a local queer arm wrestling event my humerus was unfortunately broken and has put me out of commission foreseeable future. While I am fortunate enough to have insurance and most of the medical expenses are taken care of, I am still going to need some additional funds to help transition through the next few months while I am on my healing journey.
I am a med student and have a fixed income because of lack of ability to work while I am finishing up my degree and right now am gearing up to take my Level 1s so stress levels are high and this injury is most certainly adding to them in a major way.
What I am currently seeking is donations from the community for funds that will immediately alleviate some of the stresses this injury has caused and they will be used to cover food expenses and help fund needed services like pet care and yard work while I am unable to tend to these tasks myself.
Overall I am seeking $2500 to help cover increased food costs as I will not be able to cook for myself, perform needed general household maintenance, and in general provide me with a cushion of funds that will be used to navigate this period of uncertainty. I do have friends who are helping now, but it takes a village and even with the kindness of those close to me there will still be gaps in what people are able to do and provide assistance with at any given time.
If you are unable to donate that is completely understandable, now is a trying time for a lot of people and I know first hand how tight money can be, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share this to your socials in the hope that it gets in front of the right set of eyes.
I am currently organizing this event for a friend Oak Sonfist and all proceeds will be donated to them, If you wish to donate directly to them their preferred method of donation is Venmo, @Sonfist
