SweetBanana Needs your Help · 6:00pm Feb 9th, 2021
I haven't written a blog in a while. I kind of miss it. I've got a couple ideas in mind, a couple things I feel would be fun to write and fun to read -- stuff about writing, about building a narrative, about the differences between comics and literature -- and this blog is about none of them.
I can't afford to be cute or to have a long intro before getting to the meat of the matter: SweetBanana has been kicked off her house by her own parents after coming out as trans. She has set up a GoFundMe campaign to basically fund her way out of a death sentence.
Because, I'll be blunt here, that's what this is. We're in the middle of a global pandemic that's killing hundreds of thousands in the US alone, half of that country is going through an ongoing cold front and snow levels I hadn't seen in a decade, and SweetBanana has been deprived of a house, a car, an insurance, and any kind of safety net whatsoever. If she catches pneumonia, she doesn't have the means to get medical treatment, or to go to a hospital -- both literally and financially speaking; again, no car, no insurance -- and if she catches COVID, that's the end of the road.
So, please. If you can spare even a couple dollars, consider donating to the campaign. If you can't, spread the word so other people may see it; here's, once again, a link to the GoFundMe campaign. Every bit helps.
I can't really donate at this time but I will spread this word as far as I can.
something done (for some reason form doesn't allow me to select Russia {due to sanctions?] but I used Finland!)
Thank you for boosting the signal!
It's really nice to see people using their platforms to help boost things like this. I see a really sad amount of these never even get close to funded. I'll donate what I can and try to boost this!
