Help Riley Go to SLC

Hey, ya’ll!! Asking for help—especially financially—is never easy, but help is what I need to get to Salt Lake City Regionals in a few weeks. After losing my corporate job this past year I’ve been struggling to make ends meet, but Pokémon events and spending time with those I love has been a welcome reprieve from the stresses of existence specifically as a trans woman with debilitating mental health conditions.

My recent run to Day 2 in Peoria was exhilarating but ultimately fell one singular placement short of the cutoff for Top 32, which would’ve awarded me the money to travel to SLC. So I’m here, humbling asking for some support in continuing to pursue excellence in the game that I love, and see and meet the people who make it so worth playing. Whether or not you choose to or are able to contribute, I thank you for taking the time to read, and appreciate you all for your support. If I’m able to go to SLC in the end I will do my best to make everyone who roots for me proud.

Love always,
