Lex Llewellyn hasn't added a story.
Hi! My name is Lex, I'm a 25-year-old queer and trans person from Eugene, OR.
About four months ago I had a gender affirming surgery that was both exciting and also left me in a deep, post-operative depression. I had been attempting to go school prior to this without much direction and ultimately failed out due to my mental health and recovery.
In that time, I've discovered an academic direction that I'm really excited about. I want to pursue social work and help other folks like me.
Due to my past academic failure, I had to make an appeal for financial aid (which got approved!), set up an academic plan with an advisor (which I did!), and I thought that would set me up to start registering for classes.
As it turns out, I owe the school a little over $600 which is now preventing me from attending school. I set up a payment plan so that I only have to pay $78 and submit a tuition appeal but I just don't have the resources to pay that right now.
The real kicker is that I have to have this all submitted by 4PM on March 11, 2016 (that's a little over 24 hours from now).
I've never been stoked on going to school before but now that I have a direction I'm absolutely excited about, I'm eager to get the ball rolling toward that.
So I'm asking for help in paying that first installment of my plan so I can realize this dream I have of helping other queer and trans folks.
Anything donated will go directly towards that - and if I make a little extra, it'll go towards paying off the rest of that debt or getting my phone turned back on.
I appreciate anything you can spare or just sharing this!
Thanks for reading.
Lex
Edit: I changed the goal amount to $100 because this website & PayPal both take out transactions fees which eats into the donation amount a fair bit.
