Already Dying, Then Got Bashed By Cops
mctanuki
The important information here is that I need $300 a month to keep myself alive, and you can donate either through the donate button on my blog (which Paypal takes a cut from for using their button), or else by sending money directly through Paypal to mrsmctanuki@gmail.com
The less important details are that I am a physically and mentally disabled trans woman with a stroke condition (it killed my grandmother 4 years ago, it is killing my mother right now, and if I’m lucky, it’s going to be the thing that kills me). I get $148 a month from Washington State to pay for everything. Unfortunately, that isn’t even quite half enough to buy my meds for the month. I have Medicaid, but they specifically do not cover Schedule 1 medications, such as the ones I take to keep myself from stroking out again (I’ve already had a stroke, 4 years ago, which left me permanently blind on the left side).
I need donations, from you, the person reading this. A dollar, 10 cents, whatever you can spare, it’s a literal life-saver.
People call me an e-beggar because I need money. Well, yeah, I am literally begging you not to let me die. Donate, reblog, write your congresspeople, do anything you can, because despite my frequent suicidal urges, I don’t want to die.
If I had the physical ability, I would be begging on the streets. I’ve said dozens of times now that I’m willing to do literally anything, up to and including sex work, in exchange for donations.
- Things I either have degrees or direct experience in the field with:
- Nursing (specializing in in-home healthcare)
- Accounting (specializing in personal and business taxes)
- English education (including English as a Second Language)
- Music (specifically, rap and parody music)
- Concert promotions
- Sex work (I was a full-service sex worker for 14 years)
If there’s anything I can do for you in exchange for money, I am willing to do it. If there’s nothing you need, please donate anyway, because as I mentioned, I will die without this money.
So, all of this is still true, which is why I am reblogging it. But also, on August 9th, I was bashed by police for being trans. I already have a broken back from Friday, and then they punched me repeatedly in my broken vertebra. The doctor won’t give me more pain killers because her clinic only allows one refill on any opioid medications per year. In addition to the need for my regular meds next month, I now need money to get to a doctor that doesn’t take my insurance, so I can get refills. I also am now functionally homeless, being unable to return home for safety reasons, and I need money for basic things like gas, housing, food, and such. If you can, please toss me a few coins. Please keep reblogging and please, please, please donate.
