Hi, my name's Steph, I'm a trans woman and I run the TeletraanIV youtube channel as TIV, my girlfriend and I are trying to raise funds to help us move from where we are now in Ripon, Wisconsin, either to Colorado, Reno, or SOMEWHERE with actual protective laws for Trans Healthcare, Our Current plan is Minnesota! We may end up in albuquerque like we originally intended, but that seems pretty unlikely at the moment. We're looking for anywhere good to move while trying to find work in ripon in the meantime, but luck seems low so we need help and support.

We have been stuck in Ripon for the past 8 years with major job instability, and with safety for trans people becoming increasingly questionable throughout the state, we have been needing to get out, and Minnesota is seen as a Trans Sanctuary state, with many laws protecting Trans Healthcare and non-discriminatory labor laws. Hearing some of the things that candidates running for office in this state has truly scared and concerned me, and I don't even feel safe just going into work with some of the views of people just...around town. While the current Governor has managed to block and veto the sort of anti-trans legislation we've been fearing, there's still the fact that the laws keep recurring, slowly whittling things down. It's...concerning.

The Job instability has instead devolved into jobs seeming to constantly ghost us and give rather poor excuses when we've called back to try to ask for updates, it hasn't been going great there.

Between said job instability here in Wisconsin, and my most recent job had caused panic attacks enough that I had to quit, and strained relationships between my girlfriend and her family, we need a lot of help to make the move work.

Both my girlfriend and I haven't been able to find stable work in the slightest and we really need the support to get out of this state, or at the very least out of this small town in the state.

The money raised during this campaign is primarily going to be used for;

paying the last of the rent and bills/groceries for the last months we'll be in ripon, things have been going slowly enough that we have to rearrange the leaving time, we're not currently sure when we'll be leaving due to continued unplanned unemployment.
buying the train tickets to get us up to minnesota
Getting our things shipped from Wisconsin down to Albuquerque
The Price of our respective HRT Meds while we make our way over to Minnesota
and the first couple of months of rent and bills for our new apartment in Minnesota while we find jobs to keep us afloat down there.
The Only cost we know for sure right now is about 400ish to cover the train tickets.
