Help Batwynn Feel Better
Donation protected
My name is Chris, and I'm a 26 year-old artist. My dream is to work as a graphic designer for an NPO, and to continue my own illustration work. Six years ago I had to leave school and work due to a debilitating illness. Since then, I've been working at home to the best of my ability, and yet most days I still have trouble even getting out of bed. I owe thousands in medical bills, and yet still need more expensive testing and treatment. I would really like just one day without the pain, nausea, and depression related to my illness.

In addition to serious medical problems, I'm trying to transition from FtM and lack the funds to even make a basic start. This is another part of my anxiety, depression, and inability to enjoy social interactions. [I came out to have a good time...]
The funds raised here will first be applied to my current medical bills and further testing needed to determine the right treatment. From there, I hope to be able to feel well enough to earn funds to augment enough to cover the costs of treatment and starting my transition.
Honestly, I have tried every alternative provided to just help me feel better. After six years, I'm exhausted and would love to just feel like a human being again and be able to achieve my dream.
Thank you for your consideration and support; it means the world to me.
