This started out as an attempt to help get gender reaffirming Surgery, but things have progressed to wherā¦ Ren Nakamura needs your support
I donāt know how to use tumblr, but I want to add a trigger warning for suicide, cancer, terminal illness, and child trafficking.
I havenāt hijacked Renās page in a long time for a lot of reasons. And I genuinely hope that my begging for help on his page doesnāt lose him followers. But that gofundme he made to help me get hrt? Yeah I scrapped it and made it into a survival fund. Because we cannot pay our bills even with me working 2 jobs, and I cannot live like this watching him blame himself for having cancer and being so sick he can barely function.
I am a transgender pansexual apostate Muslim of semetic descent. I was a victim of child trafficking and I have been taking care of myself most of my life. My relationship with my āfamilyā is an absolute joke. Ren is a half Japanese intersexed homo leaning asexual, whoās parents irreparably mutilated his body. We are 18 and 19 years old.
We need help. Real help. I have called most of the charities in town, they will not help us. I managed to get some food for our pets and some fry goods for us. We are luck a charity is paying for his chemo. They are overwhelmed and he is not a US citizen and by default is considered low priority.
I can understand the defensiveness that seeing someone beg and use guilt as a weapon can create. I know the knee jerk reaction is to roll your eyes and keep scrolling, tell yourself that itās okay not to allow yourself to be emotionally manipulated. But it doesnāt take anything to share something like this. We are children. We are scared. This isnāt something anyone should have to go through and itās definitely not something people our age are equipped to deal with. You cannot imagine how terrifying this has been and how hard it can be to ask for help and know that people think youāre full of shit or deserve it or turn away. Please do not avoid sharing because youāre offended an 18 year old asked you to help keep his 90lb 19 year old husband from suffocating to death in his bed. Please.
Edit: our go fund me is not allowing us to withdraw the money and weāre trying to solve the issue. If you could please use the links for kofi or cashapp until this is fixed for donations we would be extremely grateful.
Again I am so sorry for having to be as blunt as I have been, but simply asking for help wasnāt working. And a lot of the posts he made which tagged people he knew could help him were ignored. He has been trying to get help from people for months, (and some people did, and thatās wonderful) but I cannot afford to be as nice about it as he has tried to be. I hope you can understand that. Thank you

Please check out his art if you come by here, he puts a lot of effort into it and it makes him extremely happy to see people enjoying it. He isnāt running this campaign, I am (for his mental well-being). And this is still his regular art blog. He does a lot of wholesome content that would help cure some of the anxiety and upset that this post has caused.
