(1/3)
I realised I'm trans early 2022-ish. Diagnosing dysphoria costs money, and I haven't been able to put much of it together.
Today (on our wedding anniversary!), my wife was informed she only has paid work until Apr 30th. We barely make ends meet as-is.
I can't handle this. Not financially, certainly not mentally. Now the situation's gone from "can't transition" to "may soon run out of ANY money".
Please help. Please Boost.
I'm seriously operating at a monthly deficit, I have debts to pay monthly, but again - I can't handle it mentally. My previous attempts to ask for money have met with some response, but now I really need money to get by in coming months, and probably the equivalent of thousands rather than hundreds of $.
Please give whatever you can. Even a dollar or two. I'm EXHAUSTED. I could barely hold on before today.
Treat this as a wedding anniversary gift for me or sth.
Oh, I forgot the link to actually pay. I'm that scatter-brained, huh.
Holy crap, people out there are so generous. Thanks to anyone who could afford to help.
The situation is still potentially very tough (so if you're reading this and you have even a few dollars to spare, please consider doing so), but it's not as dire as it was. At the very least, I can juggle costs around and come out on top slightly longer. Which in itself is some relief.
Again - thank you.
OK, full disclosure - my wife WILL keep *a* job (paid less than now, but we don't have to like, panic starting April 30th).
So the issue is now less pressing, and I can't in good conscience ask for money for like, survival.
But I still can't really afford gender dysphoria diagnosis, so if you're fine with helping me out, I appreciate that.
But again - my ass is no longer figuratively on fire. In large part thanks to people who've already helped.
Bottom line - there are people in more dire need than myself. Go help them in preference to myself.
But I also am Very Tired in terms of waiting to proceed with my transition stuff, so I am not saying "no" to any possible financial help in that regard. And I have no shame around that, either.
