Hello lovely humans! I have decided to fulfill second-grade-till-now-Yin-Xzi's dream of becoming a [self-]published author, especially now that I have a completed manuscript for a memoir called 'Home is Here'. This is a fundraiser to try and cover some of the costs that come with self-publishing. I am currently in the process of turning the 111-paged document that is my memoir into a fully-fledged book, with a cover, an about the author, an ISBN code and all!

Feel free to donate via the fundraiser, or (to avoid processing fees) e-transfer *Canada only* (to [email redacted]) or paypal (to paypal.me/yinxzi). Every little bit helps.

If you would rather support in other ways, please share this far and wide.

If you do choose to donate what you can, know that I am infinitely grateful.

The publication company I am doing this with will allow people to get a copy of my book even if they aren't in Canada, and will allow me to distribute it in physical and e-book versions.

With this, I recognize the privilege I have in being able to undertake this journey, especially in living on and completing this work in an on the unceded and ancestral territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh nations. I also recognize that in asking for financial support within the context of an undertaking that fuels my joy and creativity is a privilege. I am so grateful for all of the support I have received across so many channels up until this point.
