I posted a not fun update to my GoFundMe. I fell and broke my back. I'm almost certainly paralyzed for life. I'll start a new GoFundMe when I know more what my life will look like in the future, but until then donations will help with lost income and my mom to pay for gas and VERY expensive parking.

AID REQUEST: a local friend left an abusive marriage to protect her non-binary child from an unsafe situation. They were doing their best but got side-swiped & are now 3 months behind on rent. Their rent is only $900/mo. I'm going to pay 1. Can you help with the other 2? ko-fi.com/kitrocha/goa...
