Aloha everyone!!!  I wish the best for all...   And speaking of all,  this November 20th is, of course, TDoR--  a day we remember ALL of the ones who have died due to difficulties we face as transgender people.  This year, I found myself on the planning committee for TDoR in San Francisco.  And, although I feel honored to help, I am a complete mess when it comes to planning event such as this very important one.  So,  If there is anyone here who would like to give me some pointers, I am all ears.  Thank y'all,   much Love

Don't really know what to write here...  So I'll just write a little about myself.  For conciseness, I am a 48 y/o pre-op transsexual who's in a wheelchair.  I'm wheelchair bound due to AVN(avascular necrosis) which took three and a half inches from my right femur and I acquired due to HIV.  I got infected by the first man I was ever with.  So, after spending 40+ years in Texas and getting three felonies, I decided to move to San Francisco.
  I got here in 2010 and continued to drug myself until something happened...  I don't remember exactly what happened, but I do know I did something to ease my pain, which didn't help and I ended up in the ER.  After that, mind you I could still walk, barely, I was diagnosed with avascular necrosis.  Immediately I was sent to a hospital in really bad shape.  I was addicted to a copious amount of drugs and weighed less than 90lbs.  I was near death.  I spent two and a half years in hospital, quit drugs, got my own place and am doing quite well.
