We have both lived lives full of struggle, and perseverance is a big part of why we are still here. Unfortunately though, willpower isn't enough to get by, and we have needed to ask for help to keep surviving. As disabled trans people, our community and allies are necessary to the fight for our lives. They have saved our lives and we need them to come together again to help us escape from not only a deep red state, but also a situation that is re-traumatizing to both of us. As much as we have tried, the US government will not help us, so we have to turn to caring citizens to help us afford necessary things such as food and healthcare; including gender-affirming care, chronic pain treatments, and dental care, etc.. With the current political climate, we are especially anxious in our current location, and are hoping to flee to Minnesota, which has recently been declared a safe haven for trans people. Unfortunately, as you can imagine, we are barely scraping by, so seeking safety without help is impossible. We truly need kind people to help us.
