Milestone Goals
Basic Necessities
This amount will help me meet bare necessities to keep me out of homelessness and feed myself. Reaching this goal will form the base on which I can build my creative and social justice work.
Bayond the Necessities
This level will allow me to focus on the projects I’m participating in and hopefully help more queer trans folks and expand networks of care.
Focusing on Work and Reducing Risk of Violence
This is the amount I would need to sustain myself and focus on supporting other trans folks with an at-risk youth housing project and/or starting a foundation for getting funds to trans folks who are at risk of violence. This is also my highest goal because I would need this amount to pay for my transition-related treatments that aren't covered by my health insurance. Thank you!

My name is Frances, I’m a disabled queer trans woman, trying to find stability in my life that has been riddled with violence, poverty and abuse. I believe I have a right to exist and that’s why I’m making this page to raise funds. The systems surrounding me don’t want me to live and I need help from individuals who want to combat those systems of oppression and help me sustain myself and do the work I want to do.
Over the years, I’ve been through homelessness, non-consensual s** work, s**ual abuse, and emotional abuse (I’m censoring some words just because I know even seeing / hearing words themselves can be triggering). I've lost support from my family of origin many years ago, I am coping with PTSD, I've lost my state assistance including food stamps and disability because I haven't been able to keep up with doctor's visits and related paperwork.
If I had enough money to sustain myself, I would like to focus the energy on supporting other queer and trans folks who are experiencing or facing poverty, homelessness, incarceration, and other struggles that disproportionately affect us (especially queer trans black women and other queer people of color). Ideally I would like to connect with or start a project that provides temporary housing and a variety of resources for trans youth who are at risk for or going through any of the above struggles.
Sending money on Patreon is considered a donation to me making my life as I need and there are no "rewards" outside of that. I will be updating this page with progress on projects I'm able to pursue. Thank you for your help!
