The site GoFundMe.com lets you set up your own vehicle for appealing to the general public for donations for a personal cause. You, of all people, have a large circle of followers and friends of friends. Consider setting up your own page for donations to complete your transition. I'll bet you are pleasantly surprised by your results. <br /><br />As they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained.<br /><br />RhondaRhonda Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880722627262140271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242321492229602144.post-57832630306935648232016-05-03T23:36:41.402-04:002016-05-03T23:36:41.402-04:00Hi Sophie, Katheryn Mathews from FB.

Even in my darkest Depression (with a capital D), which told me I was fat, worthless, unlovable and fooling myself to think I'd ever know joy, hope was there to remind me that Depression was lying, even if I didn't believe I had the strength to overcome it.<br /><br />But inch by inch, that's what you have to do. So I chose to abandon toxic friendships and hollow pursuits. I stopped reading the news and Facebook since they only pissed me off and fed my darkness. (I came back to them later in moderation.) And I also sought medical help. But this left me a lot of free time--usually not a great thing for a Depressed person--but I made an effort to rediscover my joys. To read (and learn!), to write and share, to explore my creativity in ways I never had before. To plant flower after flower in the garden of my soul and beat Depression back an inch at a time.<br /><br />Sophie, I'm not telling you all this to equate our situations or saying that my path can or even should be yours. That's for you to discover. But I want you to understand that the darkness is lying to you. It weaves lovely fictions rooted in truth, but they are LIES. You have worth. You have value. You have touched many people in positive ways, and you will continue to do so. And you are loved. This isn't the end of road, this is a sickness making you think that, a sickness that can be treated.<br /><br />But don't listen to me. Listen to that little voice inside of you that's telling you that the darkness is lying. Because you know it speaks the truth.<br /><br />Choose hope.Jenny Northnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242321492229602144.post-21462796832543815292016-04-27T09:38:17.137-04:002016-04-27T09:38:17.137-04:00Sophie you are not a mockery.
