Worried

[HappyMoni]

   I will admit to being down recently after a few things going on with me. I made a donation last night, my second this month. As I look at the amount raised I am fearful for this site. It is a population so in need and yet so lacking in money. It seems that being trans is an opportunity for some. Unfortunately, not usually for the trans person. It seems that throughout my process everything involves  money and lots of it. I am luckier than many out there. This site is a big help for many, a lifeline, I think. I hope it will be able to stay. It is depressing to think it would not be here.

  Like Monieeeeee, I was sad to see how little donations were made this month. This site is very important to me and a lot of others. Yet only a relative few of those that use this site are interested in helping keep it going. Like Moni I also made a second donation as I have done most months. This month I donated almost what I pay for a moth of electrolysis, or more than my total medications in a month. That is how important I feel keeping this site going is to me. Not everyone can do this. That is understood. Some can't afford to donate at all and that too is understood. But there are so many the use this site that it should not be a problem month after month.  The ones I can't understand are those that refuse to donate when they are able to do so for whatever hair they have across their backside yet continue to use the site month after month.
  I believe this site serve a very god purpose and I thank Susan for creating it and continuing to provide it for our use. It's helped me and so many others.  That is why I donate what I can.

I don't think I am overstating things when I say Susan's has probably saved more than a few lives. If I had not found this place I am not sure how much longer I could had continued down the path I was on. I have added a donation to the pot also. I should be getting a good bonus in December, and I will give even more then.

This is a very important topic. And yes, I am also one whom Susan's helped survive. What has me worried even more is that this post so far has only been viewed 34 times. This should almost be mandatory reading.

I am well aware that many are not in a position to help keep this site going. I was just hoping that this year is not a year where financing for this site falls short every single month.

I have found this site invaluable. If I could afford more I would gladly give it. There have been some that question Susans motives. So what if she decides to go out to eat with any extra money she may get. She deserves it. I am not worried about where my money is going, because you my friends, are worth keeping.

Yes, I was a little scared too, but I was not able to donate myself this month. I know everyone's finances are different and I am working on being in a better place overall but, takes some time. Even if all the visitors donated $1 each that would make a difference to what comes in. I am not a fan of this but, sometimes letting people advertise on site can help offset shortfalls. I remember when facebook started it and hated it, but I understand why. I plan on donating this month.

Despite being relatively new on this site, I enjoy reading so many subjects about what my transition may hold for me. It has really helped me in times of angst and depression, and I rejoice at every individuals milestones that are shared here on this forum. I do use the wealth of humanity and vast array of subject matter found here, to help me through dark times as well give me light on my future progression, and especially as we can see so many peoples lives improve so much on their journeys.
I have donated a little more on top of my subscription, and when I have completed my marital separation and house move, and when my cash flow has stabilised a bit, then I will look at increasing my subscription as it isn't a lot at the moment.
Susan, Please keep going, and everyone else please donate if you haven't already.
