Erica's Spoon Fund
Spende geschützt
I know there are a lot of fundraisers out there right now, but this one is particularly special. It's for a dear friend of mine in our queer community who has helped a signifcant number of trans women stay alive against all odds. She needs our help now, and it's our turn to step up like she has done for us so many times before.
My friend Erica, a queer / disabled / mixed / trans woman / social justice blogger via inchoaterica.wordpress.com, is in serious need of seeing a professional and seasoned mental health specialist on a regular basis. She's been doing what she can on her own for years now, but living with PTSD and ED on top of being queer, disabled and trans is beginning to take a major toll. She currently has access to health insurance through her temp job (which ends later this year), but like many others, the coverage doesn't actually cover the services that she needs.
I am trying to raise approximately $1425 for Erica so that she can see a therapist at a sliding scale rate of $60 a week for 22 weeks (approximately 6 months) and pay for the fees from using GoFundMe. Erica and I both believe that this will get her started on a road to healing so that she can continue to do the work she is doing now: speaking out loudly for trans women of color and holding space for the rest of us on the transfeminine scale who have been deeply cared for time and time again.
As for rewards, we don't exactly have anything specific. However, anyone who donates over $100 will be gifted with a custom 8x10 luster print portrait in my sweet, tender art style. It's my small way of saying thank you for supporting this person in my life that I love so very much.
Thank you for reading. Please share if you are willing and donate if you can. Support this amazing trans woman and let's do this for Erica!
