We are a song

Hi, my name’s Alex, I’m a disabled trans boy from Minnesota, and I’m going through a really rough time right now.

I’ve been homeless since February of 2014 and have just gotten out of an emergency shelter that’s been really unsafe for me, and now I’m in desperate need of enough money to get me by until the end of the month. Right now, me, my mother, and two of our friends are staying in a weekly motel room, but our money is running out very fast and we have to find some place to go by this Thursday, in addition to gas money and (most importantly) food.

I’m disabled and unable to work, and my mother has recently started a temporary job that won’t pay her until the 25th of this month, so we just have to hang on and survive until then. I would really, truly appreciate the internet’s help in making sure that me and my family can eat and have a place to sleep until the end of the month.

If you could please spare what you’re able to and donate to my Paypal at [email protected], I would be so, so grateful.

If you can’t donate anything, please do me a favour and reblog this post so that more people are able to see.

Because I don’t feel comfortable taking money from people without giving anything back, I’m also taking writing commissions! If you’re interested in receiving poetry, original fiction, or fanfiction in exchange for donations, here’s some information for you (that might be subject to change):

How much?:

$1.00 for every 100 words! 20 bucks buys you 2k wordcount, and if I happen to go over or under your target wordcount, we’ll round to the nearest dollar amount so that everything’s even. I’ll only accept payment until after your commission’s finished so that you can be sure you get what you ordered!

Things I will write:

Prose! I can write short drabbles, oneshots, fanfictions, things for your OCs, inspirational messages, rambling anecdotes about dogs and how great they are, and more!

Fandoms I am familiar with include Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Ace Attorney, Avatar: The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra, Harry Potter, Tamora Pierce, Pokemon, Homestuck, various RPGmaker games, Paranatural, Warrior Cats, and lots and LOTS of anime. If something you’re interested in isn’t listed here, there’s a lot that I left out and didn’t think to add so please ask and see if it’s anything I know of!

Things I will not write:

Nothing right off the bat, most likely, but I reserve the right to refuse specific requests on the off chance that I’m not comfortable with them. You’re not required to pay a thing if that turns out to be the case.

Things I will write but might not be very good at:

Things involving smut, things involving blood and gore, things involving fandoms I don’t know (though I am willing to research), things involving a universe you made up (though I am willing to ask questions and look over references)

Other things I can do:

Proofread your writing (whatever it may involve) and provide feedback, if you’re into that! Prices on this are negotiable as I’ve never done any of this for money before and I’m willing to decide on a price that’s fitting for both of us.

Need examples of my writing? Please ask and I’ll provide some links for you before anything else.
