Access to the Community Borrowers and Researchers program at the University of Maryland.
Membership to the program will allow me to access databases and borrow research materials.
Attend the Breaking Silences, Demanding Crip Justice: Sex, Sexuality, and Disability conference.
Wright University's Breaking Silences, Demanding Crip Justice: Sex, Sexuality, and Disability conference is in November 2015.
The conference fee is $75, airfare is $170 plus baggage fees, the hotel
(Ramada Plaza) is $180, and a car rental is $43, which means I am
looking to raise a total of $468 in order to attend this conference.

Hello, all! I am studying the intersection of sex and disability, with a particular interest on chronic pain and sadomasochism. Right now I am studying independently of an institution, as I am waiting to hear back about school admittance for spring 2016.
Accessing the pre-existing research I need is not cheap, because until I am an admitted student I don't have institutional access to databases and printed materials. However, by joining the Community Borrower & Researcher program at the University of Maryland, I can gain access to these resources for just $100 per year.
Additionally, for purposes of education and networking, I am trying to attend several sex and disability related conferences. Next on my list to attend Wright University's Breaking Silences, Demanding Crip Justice: Sex, Sexuality, and Disability. The conference fee is $75, airfare is $170 plus baggage fees, the hotel (Ramada Plaza) is $180, and a car rental is $43, which means I am looking to raise a total of $468 in order to attend this conference.
Patreon supporters will receive content exclusive from my website and social media, including vlogs, photos, and written pieces such as commentary and research abstracts.
