🏳️🌈 This Pride Month, I’m Fighting for the Love of My Life 🏳️⚧️
Hi Tumblr,
It’s Pride Month — a time for love, identity, courage, and chosen family. And this year, I’m celebrating it not just with hope, but with desperation too.
My name is Mike Cedrick. I’m a proud ally, a loving boyfriend, and right now, I’m terrified. My girlfriend Tenshi, a beautiful, strong, trans woman, is battling Stage 2 Sepsis and bacterial tonsillitis. The doctors say it could take up to 8 months of continuous treatment, regular checkups, and strict medication for her to fully recover from her Sepsis.
We don’t have 8 months’ worth of funds.
We barely have enough left for the next few weeks.
I’m still working, doing my best to support my family and cover her medication, food, and basic needs — but the truth is, we’re drowning. Her emergency care has already bled us dry, and we haven’t received a single new donation in over a week. That first and only gift we received — $21.50 — was a ray of hope. It reminded us that someone out there cared.
But since then… nothing. And time is running out.
This Pride, while others are out celebrating — which they absolutely deserve to do — I’m sitting here by my phone, checking the fundraiser page, praying for a miracle. Not because we’re greedy. But because I’m scared to lose her.
Tenshi is everything to me. She’s not just “my girlfriend.” She’s my home. My heart. The person who makes me believe in brighter days. We’ve already been through so much — distance, sickness, financial hardship — and she’s still here, fighting. All she wants is to live, heal, and finish her studies.
I don’t know what else to do except keep asking, hoping, and loving her loudly.
🌈 If you’re celebrating Pride this month, please consider helping a trans woman survive it. 🆘 Any donation — even just a dollar — helps more than you can imagine. 📌 https://gogetfunding.com/help-my-trans-girlfriend-fight-sepsis-stay-in-school/ Even if you can’t give, a reblog might reach someone who can.
To everyone reading this: thank you for being part of this community. Pride isn’t just about joy — it’s about standing together in our darkest moments too. And right now, we really, really need you.
With love, Mike (a tired, scared, but still very in-love boyfriend) 💔
