Quetzala Carson hasn't added a story.
Hello the internet; my friends and confidants!
I hope this fundy finds y’all well. I’m Quetzala (Kehx-ah-la) Carson and I’m coming to you for mutual aid to raise $18,500. I am Nicarao-Mestizx, Two Spirit, and Intersex. I serve community through education, research, and provide doula services for birthing/foster/adoptive families, gender expansive transitions, and end of life to Two Spirit, Queer, Trans, and Intersex people free of charge.
TLDR:
- I'm still recovering from a Nov 2021 accident that required extensive repairs to my tiny home and vehicle, as well as a sexual assault in Nov 2022 that required I stop working full-time to heal.
- In Sept 2023 my home and vehicle required more repairs and my dog got pancreatitis and it a lot of professional help to diagnose and fix these separate problems.
- I've been working intermittently and paying off the costs of repair, trauma treatment, and vet bills; but I can't pay it off fast enough and the bank started removing anything over $50 in my bank account.
- I'm asking for help to raise $18,500 to cover half of my current debts so I can get out of financial crisis. I will ensure I pay the rest as I continue working.
- There's cool merch depending on the amount you donate!
- Every contribution, thought, and share helps me become stable again and gives me a lot of hope. Thank you for this!
In September 2023 I was preparing to travel with my tiny trailer home / mobile clinic to support folks through ceremony and ended up having a lot of emergency expenses. My dog was diagnosed with pancreatitis after a lengthy process of medical tests, and is now on a prescription diet. My truck needed a full wire tracing and several components replaced. And my tiny home electrical system required the support of 3 electricians to diagnose and a replacement power system. Expenses added up to $15,000 which I have had to borrow, as I have been intermittently working since March 2023.
These expenses absolutely destabilized me. Since my accident in November 2021 where my tiny home rolled and sexual assault on TDOR in November 2022, I have $22,000 remaining in debt for repairs to my home and intensive trauma treatment. As I have been working intermittently, I've continued to to make payments, but I maxed out my credit card and with emergency expenses my line of credit totalling in $37,000. The bank has escalated tactics removing anything over $50 in my bank account to pay these debts leaving me stranded when it comes to paying for daily needs, tuition, and providing people services at no charge.
I’ve opened a new bank account and I’m asking fo $18,500 in mutual aid so I can be stable and serve community again. $18,500 will pay half of the total amount I currently owe, and will ensure I pay the remainder without having funds forcibly removed from my account. This mutual aid will allow me the stability to kickstart a business model that will allow me to provide free care to community while engaging in merch sales and professional consulting to support myself and pay my remaining debts. To reciprocate community care, contributors will be the first to receive the merch I make. Digital zines, stickers, shirts, custom respirators, and consulting services will be gifted for donations of specified amounts.
Thanks for contributing, thanks for considering, and thanks for sharing this mutual aid request far and wide. Your thoughts, shares, and generosity mean the world to me. May abundance find all of us wherever we are!
