Over the past four days, you’ve donated $1800 to my legal and living expenses fund. That’s just … wow. I set a stretch goal to raise $3,000 for the current round of legal expenses plus some unexpected living expenses, including a trip to an oral surgeon. Even with insurance, that’s harsh. I asked folx to […]
His name is Checkers. He’s been on the lam since escaping his carrier at Humane Animal Rescue (HAR) Northside a few days ago. Marie saw the flyer online and sprang into action. While I posted around the nearby Facebook groups, she headed out with treats and a carrier. Starting at last reported sighting, she “thought […]
No news on the legal front, but some good news! Picture it, Manchester. December 29, 2005 was a Thursday. I was on a week of vacation from my job. Somehow I found myself opening up this software called ‘Blogware’ and launching my blog, Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents (pghlesbian.com.) My oldest nibling was born the very next […]

It means a great deal to me that you continue to support me, to help with legal and living expenses. Life is really hard right now, but I do find moments of joy and satisfaction. My friends […]
Thank you for your donations. You have made it possible for me to get this far. Scroll down for a current ask I have, but first I want to talk about the possibility of my being homeless. On Wednesday, we had another conciliation hearing. The outcome is that the cases go back to the Family […]

On this date in 2023, my friends Melissa and Diane helped me to get this crowdfund started It was a Saturday morning after an anxious night. I had called RESOLVE to ask for their assistance getting my prescription medications from my home – I was still homeless, staying with friends at that point. So I […]
After I wrote the blog post “Here’s the truth about housing after a divorce” I received two questions – “What are you going to do?” and “Why aren’t you mobilizing your followers?” I don’t know what I’m going to do. The post laid out the assorted options. I have to believe there is a way […]
