2022 Life Transitions

Hi my name is James, I’m a TwoSpirit Indigenous and Romani artist living with Autism, CPTSD, fundraising towards my hysterectomy and recovery time as well as beginning to build my dream mobile home.

.

January 7th is my consult for hysterectomy and I’ll find out how much my operation will cost as well as how long I’ll be unable to work and need to have assistance in caring for myself and my pup Hela. I know on average it’s about $7,000 medical bill and then I’ll need at least 4-6 weeks of life supporting funds which I calculated to $3,000. *** Update! Looks like insurance will be covering it so I dropped 7,000$ off my fundraising goal.

.
I am trying to avoid draining my small savings towards this life affirming surgery and give myself the opportunity to ask for support that I’ve always needed. I’ve been on my own the last 12 of 30 years and those have been hard times to do without the back support of family.

Living I’m Seattle has changed my life but I’m ready to emerge from this place and take flight, knowing I’m always welcome to return and desire to do so.
