Help Jaxxie Cover Medical Bills & Living Expenses

Donation protected
Hi~ I'm Jaxxie. I'm a trans woman doing her very best to survive an increasingly hostile world; paycheck to paycheck; job to job. I believe in love over everything, in liberation, and that people are inherently kind. So I don't know why this is so hard. But it is. Please bear with me while I try to explain.

At the tail end of February I had sudden and debilitating pain that resulted with me in the emergency room. Tests were run, imaging was done, antibiotics were administered. Debt was accrued.
Answers were and are scarce. Worse, I haven't been able to work steadily since. It's possible I won't be able to work until after treatment/recovery.

Ultimately the conclusion is that I will require surgery. This was a decision made taking into account my gender goals and identity. Transparently this would be considered a gender affirming surgery in most cases. In this case it's the best answer for a conflicting situation. An answer made for my by my own body. A silver lining, but much faster and more necessary than I ever thought.

All this to say I'm suddenly facing high medical costs and living expenses. In a perfect world I would have savings set aside. I would have had a plan. I wouldn't be stuck in bed with surges of pain, both physical and mental, for days at a time.
In a perfect world I wouldn't need to ask for help like this, much less so much help.
This is not a perfect world.

Right now the asking amount is an estimate. Where I am right now, I'm at $3,700 in debt from the hospital. I'm looking at another round of imaging and a surgery. My deductible is $6,300 and my out of pocket limit is $9,100. I won't pretend I understand how these numbers are calculated or why America is like this. What I know is that I'm probably going to face huge costs.
But on top of all this I've lost the ability to bring in my primary income. Where I am now I'm able to bring in $400-600 a month (though right now I'm well below that). My monthly costs are roughly $2000 if I'm tightening my belt. I haven't even considered costs for recovery yet. Frankly I'm overwhelmed.
Math gets a little blurry when you can't stop crying, you know?

Anyway. That's the story so far. I will be updating this as new information or costs come in. Any overage will go to quality of life things like food, Tylenol, vitamins, etc. Things to keep me healing better.

Thank you so much for reading. Every dollar absolutely counts. If you can share, that helps more than you can possibly know.
