Ashton Jones hasn't added a story.
So, hi, I’m Ashton, most of my friends call me Alex though because that’s my middle name and I like it more. I’m nearly 32 years old and honestly, I’m truly just finding my footing again. I came out as trans to my family about four years ago, but I’ve known since I was in my early 20s that I was male. Since coming out, I’ve struggled with the loss of the man I considered my dad, severe dental problems that I still haven’t even finished handling and I desire to have top suregry soon, which means I need to get extra money since it won’t be covered by my insurance. I want financial freedom, but I can’t do it alone anymore, I’ve been on disability for about 8 years now because my anxiety and depression keep me from being able to work, I live with the stigma and shame of not being able to provide for myself, I live at home with my mother, I pay rent to stay here and I don’t even own my own vehicle, it’s one she allows me to use, so even if I wanted to just leave, I can’t because I don’t have the ability to support myself.
I am doing this so I can pay back the money I owe for the dental work and other bills my mother helped me with so that I can have some sort of freedom again and to not have to owe her anything money wise anymore. I want to be able to do the things I need for myself, pay for the rest of the dental work I’ll need, pay for top surgery when the time comes, I just need help because I know I cannot handle this alone anymore and that even though I feel shame for asking for help, I’m swallowing my pride and doing this so that I can hopefully have a chance to be stable again.
I want to send everyone that donates a postcard or small letter in thanks for helping me, I don’t want it to feel like I’m just taking without giving in return. Thank you for taking the time to read this and to share and help me if you so choose.
