A couple months ago I was sexually assaulted. I’m better and am in the process of undergoing therapy to understand and work though that trauma. This bill is basically for the rape kit and the subsequent STI treatment and testing I don’t have insurance. I went to the hospital to ensure my safety. I am not currently pressing charges, I just would really like to move on and could really use some help in paying this bill. If you’re in not in a position to donate, I understand times are hard for everyone but I ask that your reblog so that someone who is in a postion to donate may have the opportunity to. My ask box is open, if anyone living in the Bay Area has an resources of sexual assault survivors such as free or reduced cost couseling PLEASE let me know. Thank you all so much.
“I dare myself to dream of us moving from survival to potential, from merely getting by to a positive getting over. I dream of Black men loving and supporting other black men, and relieving Black women from the role of primary nurturers in our community. I dream, too, that as we receive more of what we want from each other that our special anger reserved for Black women will disappear. For too long have we expected from Black women that which we could only obtain from other men. I dare myself to dream. I dream of a time when it is not Black men who fill the nation’s prisons; when we will not seek solace in a bottle and top papers; and when the service is not the only viable alternative to high civilian unemployment. I dare myself to dream of a time when I will pass a group of brothers on the corner, and the words ‘fuckin’ faggot’ will not move the air around my ears; and when my gay brother approaches me on the street that we can embrace if we choose. I dare us to dream that we are worth wanting each other.”
