Help a Transgender Nonbinary Person Escape to Safety and Freedom
Hi, my name is Jude and I am a 19-year-old transgender, nonbinary person currently living in Ohio. This place has never felt safe for me, and with the current political climate—especially with Trump’s presidency—I fear for my future. Every day, I feel the weight of knowing that my rights could be stripped away, and the fear that my ability to live authentically could be taken from me at any moment.
I am currently on testosterone as part of my transition, and the thought of being forced to stop or losing access to life-saving healthcare fills me with dread. The uncertainty is crushing, and I can’t continue to live like this in a place where I constantly feel unsafe.
I’m asking for help to move to a more supportive and liberal area, one where I can live without fear of my rights being taken away. I’ve been dreaming of moving to Colorado, a place where I can feel safe in my identity, and where I don’t have to worry about losing access to essential healthcare or my rights as a transgender person.
Unfortunately, I am disabled and unable to work right now. I am currently waiting to hear back about my disability application, but the process has been slow. I’ve done everything I can to try and make this work on my own, but right now I need help. Moving to Colorado will allow me to live freely, and hopefully, begin to rebuild my life in a place where I can thrive instead of constantly being afraid.
Every little bit helps. Whether you’re able to donate or simply share my story, it means the world to me. Your support can be the difference between a life of fear and a future where I can live authentically, with dignity and safety.
Thank you for reading, and thank you for any support you can offer. It gives me hope to know that people care.
