As some of you know, after years of struggling with mental illness and gender dysphoria, in the last 6-12 months or so I was finally was able to get the treatment I actually really needed and stabilized my life to the point now where I'm working a part-time job.
The only problem is the fact that my transportation is borked. I really, really don't want to mess up this new job as they are very strict about being late and missing days in our first 6 months. So right now the transportation is my biggest challenge. I'm going to often work late into the night and the buses stop miles from my house with steep hills in between, even when they do align with my work schedule. It isn't much I'd need, all-in-all it will only cost roughly $200 to fix it and convert it so that I don't have to worry about how tired I am, due to bipolar or not. I can then just focus all my energy on doing the job once I'm there and not using it all up in the several miles getting there.
I think I'll do good at the job, I'm a hard worker but all options other than this have been exhausted as far as making sure I can actually get there consistently until I'm out of the red. The fundraiser pages addresses everything you might have to ask about it and all the details as well as a lot more photos in the story section. I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit the extent of my disability and even more so to ask for help but I think it shows how much I've overcome to be able to be where I'm at now.
If you don't want to donate anything, please at least read through my story to understand that a lot of people like me
do try and
do improve their lives, and that bipolar and gender dysphoria are real issues that if a loved one or friend you know is struggling with, that they could probably really use your words and thoughts of support.
Anyways, here is the gofundme itself;

I plan to pay it forward when I can afford to in 5-6 weeks when I'm out of red, I'm not sure to what but something on gofundme I'm sure. If you guys know of anything to suggest let me know.
In either case I reached it's goal and it's sorted out. It's a huge relief to not have to worry about that now.
