I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!! We are 100% able to cover the crazy unexpected down payment that started this whole shenanigan! I am astounded by the support from family and friends, and anonymous donations from kindhearted people. We’ve had to sacrifice a lot these last few months. I was just telling my husband how this was the first week that I haven’t hadn’t a panic attack in probably 6 months. Waking up every day to this unbelievable support has been the most refreshing experience. My gratitude is unreal. The next steps are paying for the actual surgery. I will keep the campaign going past November 28th. That is when I will withdraw funds from here for up front costs. Then I will leave the campaign open for friends, family, and supporters to help me get through this crazy surgery payment plan. THANK YOU again! Let’s KEEP THIS GOING! Next stop: paying for the actual procedure! If you can’t donate PLEASE SHARE, it only takes 5 second and we will get 3x the exposure from ONE share! ❤️Help spread the word!

Ok, so this is something that I seriously NEVER do. But I seriously need some help.

My name is Danni and I am a 25 year old trans man. I came out in June of this year. I am Deaf, have ADHD, and have been in chronic pain and depression from severe PCOS my whole life. In September I found out that I have several life-threatening cysts, and was advised to go to a surgeon immediately. They told me I was to get a full hysterectomy (hysto) ASAP. As a trans man, this made me happy, but being sick and in pain for 15 years, I am finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. Then there’s the finances.

I was just told by my insurance company that I will owe TWICE as much for my EMERGENCY hysterectomy UP FRONT than originally estimated, and need help raising that money! I am depressed about this. We are not in a good financial situation, and trying to keep our apartment, cars for work, and other necessities. We are already in serious debt from my physical and mental healthcare issues, travel and family emergencies, and car repairs/apartment repairs. I am currently at high risk for ovarian torsion, cyst rupture, infection, inflammation, internal bleeding and even death...until this surgery happens on Dec 3rd. I owe $2500 up front and will owe close to $4,000 after the surgery when the bills come in January.

Click the link to read my story, I also made a video on the page!

If you can’t donate, PLEASE share, each share gets at least 3x the exposure! And a GIANT thank you to all the people who already donated!!! You give me faith in humanity and continue to make me feel loved and supported. <3

Note from the OP: YES DO THIS IN 2018 TOO :)

Reblog if 2017 is the year we stop interrogating d/Deaf/HoH people

If a d/Deaf/HoH person tells you that they are d/Deaf/HoH, you believe them. No questions asked.

If a d/Deaf/HoH person wants to communicate orally with/or without lip reading, using sign language, gesturing, cued speech, using their cell phone, or pen and paper, you respect their decision. No questions asked.

If a d/Deaf/HoH person speaks, do not comment on the “quality” or “tone” of their speech. If they choose to speak to communicate that’s their choice, no matter how it may sound to you. No compliments given, no criticism given, and again, no questions asked.

If a d/Deaf/HoH people talks/listens on the phone, uses hearing aids/cochlear implants, speaks clearly, grew up hearing, reads lips, etc, you will respect what they tell you about their being d/Deaf/HoH. No questions asked.

2017 is already an amazing year for equality, support, solidarity, and inclusion. Let’s band together to make the lives of d/Deaf/HoH people a little easier, and allow them to breathe easier when communicating with hearing people.

Please reblog and add your own “d/Deaf/HoH No Questions asked”! I want to see what y’all have to say!

Keep reading

Of course I had to bring some babies back home to Detroit! Found all the little friends I haven’t been able to at East Austin Succulents on Tillery St, Austin, TX. I wish I could have stayed here longer! It was unlike ANY nursery I’ve been to in the northwest. I wanted to touch everything and the gardners were super helpful!
