• Annie Rogers • hasn't added a story.
Hello, my name is Annie and I'm an 18 year old Nonbinary Femme. I'm a recent High School grad, and (hopefully) a soon to be Psychology Major. I'm a lover of the Arts, from music to theater and everything in between. I'm a self sustaining singer/songwriter and a lover of all things nature.
I'm starting this fundraiser as a sort of precaution to to a huge decision I'm about to make.
I'm am the type of kid who has always been told what to think and what to do. My whole life I was controlled like a mindless drone, and regardless of the actions of elders in my life (abuse i.e. emotional, mental, and physical) I am a two time survivor of suicide. I have grown into my very own person as time has progressed, but unfortunately I've been forced to live a life in which I am hiding myself and the things that make me, me. I've been living in a home that I know will never accept me for who I am, and will never be supportive of me taking strides towards becoming who I was always meant to be.
Now that I am 18, I'm hoping to take the next few steps towards transitioning into the real me. With the help of my therapist, I'm hoping to set a date for my Top Surgery, as well as finding a small home where I can live by myself as my true self. This is something I have been moving forward to for a very long time, and the possibility of these dreams coming to fruition is such a joy for me.
However, my current living situation and job are both centered around close minded family and friends that have made it very clear that there is no room for me around them should I pursue this path in life. I've been suppressing my true self for so long, the thought of remaining at odds with my own soul to keep money in my pocket and a roof over my head doesn't seems as wholesome an option.
This fundraiser is to help me put in place a means of taking care of myself should my home, and job be stripped from me due to my transition. My main goal is to purchase a VW Van that I would have the possibility of living out of until I find a more permanent home.
I'm hoping that things will work out better then I've come to think, but the harsh reality is becoming the person I was meant to be will sever ties to family and friends I have grown around, and while I like to think I could make it on my own I will be in need of funds to help me make my way in the world should I be left alone.
Any little bit helps, thank you so much for taking the time to read this an/or help me. It means more then I can say.
