Betty and Luke are two trans, autistic, lifelong trauma survivors who have continuously been fighting for stability and hope that they won't be homeless and scared forever.

This fundraiser is for two big goals.
As the title suggests, the first goal is a used small car. Currently, and for the past several months, we have been living out of hotels. We are too far away from shops to get food and other necessities, and much of what is raised through commissions is spent getting deliveries and ride-shares. This means when we don't have delivery funds, Betty walks over a mile even through chronic pain to get us a few meals. Being reliant on earning online makes everything much more difficult, as it is unreliable; we can never guarantee commissions or donations, but if we had a car, we could deliver food for people. To put it into perspective, the car would pay for itself in a matter of months if we could eliminate delivery fees and earn money.

The second goal is described as hope. This specifically refers to Luke's decade-long attempt at getting top surgery. This is something that could change Luke's life in many ways. A few things worth mentioning are that their body could finally fit how they would feel most comfortable. The things do not fit them whatsoever, and they have caused back pain for the majority of Luke's life, making it hard to do many basic tasks and basic exercises.

If you are easily triggered, please don't read further.

Luke has been struggling immensely with their will to live, and is desperate for something good. They've known for a very long time that this is something that will help them find the strength to heal, face their past, and face their fears. They want to be able to cool off in the summer without the urge to hide, to wear clothes and not hate everything about their self when they look in the mirror. To be able to indulge in self-care, self-expression, and self-improvement without knowingly pushing down self-disgust.

Funds will be split approximately as list:
$5,000 - vehicle
$10,000 - top surgery

Luke has been quoted by 2 surgeons at ~$12,500
Depending on efficiency and price, the vehicle type may vary

We're both hoping that things can start getting better soon. Please share and help us get visibility, thank you!
