Lucia P. Lima hasn't added a story.
I'm a lesbian, and my girlfriend is a lesbian and also transgender.
We made a big fundraiser at the beginning of the year to get her out of the homophobic and transphobic hell she was living in, where being trans can easily get you shot.
A lot has happened since then, and we've been living together, but now I was the one who hit a bump in the road.
My university entrance exams didn't come out as expected, after a year full of bullying, racism, homophobia and transphobia from a few teachers (none of the incidents was ever dealt with by the rest of the staff, even after it was reported repeatedly). Now I may have to leave the country next week as my visa expires then.
My girlfriend has nowhere to say and the only choice for her is to go with me whatever the case is.
I'm supporting both of us with whatever money I can scrap off, but currently it's already running low and even food's been an issue.
I need to afford the plane ticket for both of us, but I don't know how we can make it and neither of us can work because of our visa restrictions.
We've set up both an etsy shop and a donations box and even though we've asked repeatedly no one's come around, so now we started a fund raiser, to make it easier for you to help.
We need any help we can get, even a small donation or purchase already makes a whole difference.
We don't know what else lies ahead, right now the only thing we know is that we're low on money and it might get worse.
Could you please help and spread the word about it and if you can please please donate or buy something? We're shipping anything for free world-wide to encourage people to buy it.
This is the link to our shop: http://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/graspTHEsanity?ref=si_shop
And for the donations box, go here, on the right side of the page: http://graspthesanity.blogspot.co.uk
If you donate to the blog, tell us if you want any fanfiction or fiction of any kind (and I like writing those, I live for writing them) and it'll be written and posted first thing, skipping the queue.
We really need to make it and if you could help that would be wonderful.
The goal isn't shown on the page because, frankly, it isn't quite the point - any money we can get will already be fantastic, and will keep us eating on a daily basis. But we need your help for that.
You can also support this campaign by buying the shirt with the image of this campaign here: http://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/154639728/pride-lesbian-t-shirt-with-two-dolls?ref=related-5
Sorry for bothering you, and thank you so much, have a nice day!
