This is for my dear friend Telos Runlor (he/they). He is a brilliant human, wonderful friend, spouse, cat-dad and writer. He will be getting top surgery in March and needs a little extra to cover surgery related expenses and his bills during the unpaid leave he will need to take while he recovers.

$2000 will go toward bills and rent and about $300 will go toward various accommodations to help with their recovery such as ice-packs, pillows, meals, etc. Any extra money raised will be set aside for any potential required surgical revisions or complications.

Tel has been a close friend and huge help and support to me for 8 years and a housemate of mine for about 6 years. They have actively helped me manage my anxiety and supported me through two of my own surgeries. He is an invaluable writing buddy, intelligent and hard working employee, fun zoo walk companion, loving partner to his spouse, patient cat dad, and such a vibrant and empathetic friend. I'd love for them to have the easiest stress free recovery possible from their surgery.

If you can donate, thank you so so much. And if you can't, but you'd like to share that's amazing too!
