Leigh Sanders hasn't added a story.
LGBTQ-centered medical centers, specifically transgender surgical
centers, are sparse and prohibitively expensive; most insurance will
barely cover cross-sex hormone treatments and cognitive therapy.
Beyond the major political non-profits, there is little for legal
advocacy. With the social climate being so hostile, there is no doubt
brutal violence LGBT+ people will continue to skyrocket. I want to
help.
The steps to achieve my end goal can be digestible, the
first being therapist certification. Before I do that, however, I need
formal, graduate education. Although the education itself is likely
covered under my veteran’s benefits, I first need to become
financially stable to afford the limited time for work. For that to
happen, I must first catch up on my debt. Currently, I have many
thousands in pre-enlistment tuition debt; I have thousands in tax
debt; because I’ve spent most of the past four years underemployed or
unemployed, health insurance, phone, and storage rent are perpetually
behind.
I’m once again unemployed, driving for a major
transportation network full time; the best days are no better than
casual dining waitressing. My job search is ongoing; however, even
immediate success would be too little too late.
The best way you
can help me get off rock bottom and overcome debilitating depression
is to contribute to my cause. I cannot get back up without help; a
little help divided by many people would mean the world to me, and I’d
pass that piece of happiness to anybody I could reach.
