Support Charlie with Surgery Cost
Donation protected
Hey my name is Charlie Oak Blakey. Some of you remember me as Chelsea Brooke Blakely.
Thank you for taking the time to read my go fund me!
I am raising money to cover the cost of my chest surgery and my cost of living and bills while I recover for 6 weeks post surgery.
As y’all know I am a beekeeper who makes their living by selling honey and managing hives for farms and households in Western North Carolina. I started this business with little money and 5 honeybee hives during the Pandemic in 2020. I have worked very hard to provide beekeeping services locally and teach classes and educate the public on the importance of beekeeping!
My work is very body based, season based,
and weather based. I don’t have a fixed income while I’m doing the good work, but it’s rewarding work and a service to others so I love it!
Please consider donating to my goal if you’d like to support me in my journey, both as a beekeeper and a transgender human. I want to continue to work with bees and provide pollination services and education to the public. Your financial support during this time will allow for me to continue to focus on and grow my beekeeping business while I give my body the rest it needs to recover.
Thank you for donating
