The Coop

Jonathan Joss was an Indigenous, gay man who was murdered on the first day of Pride month as well as Indigenous History Month. He died protecting his trans husband. Homophobia and racism aren’t marks of the past, and this is a heart breaking reminder of that.

Hello, it's me, Carson "gay_cars" Clippy. I am a gay, trans man whose time in California is coming to a close a bit suddenly. If you're one of my followers, you know that I lost my well paying job back in September and have been struggling financially ever since. While I am employed now, it's not even enough to make ends meet every month, much less put anything away in savings.

My partner, Casper, is also having sudden changes in his living situation. We are long distance and we were planning on moving me across the country later this year or early next year regardless, but now we are both relocating to the Great Lakes.

He will be moving there at the beginning of July, and my plan is to get there by the end of July/early August. Once I have an exact date, I will add it to my fundraiser and to this post.

I have a goal set for $3000. I go into details on my GFM page explaining what the funds are going to be used for, but I need $2000 to cover the absolute minimum moving expenses of a U-haul U-box (which is a small shipping container) and the gas to drive my car over 2,000 miles northeast.

Any shares or donations are super appreciated by both me and Casper. We are excited to live together soon, we just wish the circumstances bringing us together weren't so sudden and expensive. We are planning on settling down long-term in the area we are moving to, so hopefully this will be our last long distance move for a long, long time.
