One More Time

After the
election, a lot of things changed. The atmosphere on-campus, which had been
growing more and more toxic as the days went by no longer felt safe. Students
were making comments about killing all the Jews, Muslims, and fags during the
election screening. There were certainly some who stood up and stopped it, but
it still happened. That night, after I returned to my dorm, I realized that I
wasn’t going to be able to sleep, and so went for a walk. It was on this walk
that I was first threatened by two individuals in a black car as it sped by. I
went to the police, but there wasn’t enough information for me to give. I
started walking around with my keys in one hand, and my other hand clutched
around a knife. I thought I was prepared. Then I was threatened once more, this
time by someone who I hadn’t noticed until he bumped into me, telling me that
that fags aren’t welcome in Trump’s America. I didn’t even have time to react
before he was gone, and I realized I hadn’t gotten a single look at him. I once
again went to the police, but there was nothing they could do. And once more, I
thought I was prepared for anything. Until the night I was followed by two men
all around town. They didn’t say a word. They just followed me. I walked nearly
a mile around the twisting downtown streets, before using a large section of my
campus to escape them. They never threatened, but I knew I was in danger. All
of this led to my decision to leave. Immediately. This place is dangerous, and
while there are people in my corner, there are so many more who are not and who
will either turn a blind eye to violence, or will actively participate.

With this in
mind, I reached out to some friends of mine across the country, in a sanctuary
city. We had made plans for me to visit over winter break. I asked them if the
visit could instead be permanent. They agreed. So now, I have my things packed,
I have my ticket, and I am ready. There is a single problem though. I am broke.
Being at this school has sucked all of my funds out of my account and into a
black hole. I have been trying to save money since I got here, which can be
seen by my many attempts to fund raise through tumblr. Every time I try, I reach
my goals and think I am going to be okay. But then something else happens, and
I find myself in exactly the same position, no matter how many hours I put in
to my job or how much I save. I am rectifying that problem, but it has left me
with only $200.00 with which to move to Seattle, Washington, a fantastic city,
but an expensive one. I have a job lined up for when I get out there, but I
will blow through my $200.00 within my first week using public transportation,
and trying to feed myself. Which is why, once again, I have to ask for help. I
hate having to do this, but I will not make enough money to survive in my last
week at my current job. My next paycheck will only reach $156.00, and most of
that will go towards travel costs of bags, and purchasing a few MUCH needed pairs
of pants. Living in a southern state means lots of shorts, very few pants.

So, I’m asking
for help once more. We are entering finals week in school, so I won’t be able
to do as I’ve done before, offering in-depth tarot card readings at a price. I
can still read for people, and I am good at reading, but the readings will have
to be short. Right now, I don’t have a goal. I wouldn’t know where to begin
setting one that’s realistic. All I know is that I cannot get to Seattle on
$200.00. As I said, I have a job set up for when I get there, and I’ve already
shipped my things. This plans was set, and I had the money I needed. But,
another bill from school came in, forcing me to give up almost $400.00.

I know that this
happens a lot on this blog, and it’s not something of which I am proud, but it
is what it is, and while I hope that this will be the last time, I cannot make
that guarantee. That being said, if you are interested in purchasing a simple
tarot card reading please message me. Card readings will sit at $10.00, and
will consist of six cards laid out to answer simple questions. If you are
interested in simply donating, please message me as well. All will be done
through my PayPal, ensuring your safety. I will give you my PayPal information
when you message me, and will send you your reading once I receive the payment.

I have a chance to escape this place, this school,
and the danger here. I know there are so many people who do not have that
luxury, and for that I am grateful. But if I do not get at least a little more
money in my pocket, this is going to fall apart and that scares me. I have
everything else planned out, and if I can get the cash to survive for the first
few weeks, I will be okay. I just need a little help. If you’re able or
willing, I want you to know that I sincerely appreciate it. If you are unable
to donate or purchase a reading, the only thing I ask is that you reblog and single
boost this. I am ashamed that my plans have come to this, and that I have to
ask for this again, but if I can make this work it’s possible that I may never
have to ask for help like this again with the job I have lined up.

I’ve gotten a reading from phoenix before and I was really satisfied. Right now I have my own financial issues but if you’re in a position where you’ve got the cash and need a reading, please jump on this
