Funeral Expenses For My Sister

(TW: Death, Opioids, Overdose) My sister Jennifer was the bravest and most loyal person I've ever met. In all my life, I've never once seen her back down from a challenge, or avoid standing up for her beliefs. Earlier this week, Jennifer lost a long battle with heroin addiction, after working so hard for two years to stay sober. Relapse. Overdose. And then gone, too sudden and too soon. 28 years old. Trans women suffer from mental health and substance abuse disorders at a rate of over 3x the general population. This GoFundMe aims to help my family cover funeral expenses that are prohibitively expensive for a working class family. Any additional money will be donated directly to the ACLU to support trans rights & healthcare. (Edit 2: Goal met. Wow. Thank you all so much, from me and my family. I can't express how it feels to have gotten this much support so quickly. You all are amazing.)
