Hi! Thanks for clicking!
Let me tell you about my friend Ames.
Ames would hate reading this but behind their jet black sense of humor they’re actually a really amazing human. They founded a nonprofit org that helps teens in foster care back when that didn’t exist in Portland. They work at the child abuse hotline taking calls to help keep kids safe, and when they’re not working they’re usually getting involved in some other kind of mutual aid or restorative justice work, or just helping their friends raise kids and generally being an amazing person in the community.
Ames has done so much for us and now they need to call one in.
For the past few weeks Ames has been in a treatment facility for a mental health situation, and this facility has been really shockingly helpful!
Ames is doing great there and feels that if they could have like one more week there they’d be set. The problem is Ames’ insurance company has arbitrarily decided that Monday should be Ames last day there.
So now it’s our turn to give back! If we can raise $5k that will be enough to get Ames this much needed treatment for another week, which will to help give them a smoother transition and get them back on their feet.
I recognize that these are WILD times and this economy is not one of abundance, but if you happen to be fortunate enough to have extra right now we would really appreciate your support!
TL;DR: Insurance sucks, let’s crowdfund some care for Ames!
