Reaching for Care

So, this is fucking hard, but not doing this is harder. I am reaching out to my community for support of my work. I have had a pretty wild year when it came to my health. I had two consecutive surgeries, which put me out of work for three months, which sounds casual, but anyone who has ever been seriously ill or has touched the land of disability will understand when I say, fuck capitalism. You can do everything right in this country when it comes to saving money, and you can still fucking lose. I’m sick of playing. It doesn’t serve me or my family or anyone I love.

I’ve decided to play my own way, which means breaking rules and asking for help. I’m crowdfunding for my writing education because I do not have the income, nor will I have it for the next six months as my household recovers financially, to support education and infrastructure for the writing of my novel. I will be handing in this novel as my dissertation for my PhD at the end of 2025, and once I do that, your girl will be a block woman with a doctorate and I will join the 3.4%. That statistic is wild, but for anyone who personally knows me, the fact that I’m joining it isn’t wild at all.

Anyway, here’s the link for the fundraiser.

Big hugs, everyone.
