Give Rudy And Mark A New Start

Donation protected

Who are you?
I’m Rudy, also known as the online illustrator JungaBeast. I’m a trans man currently living in the South with my husband Mark and my old dog Genny. I have been a freelance artist in the furry and LGBTQ+ communities for 5+ years, 

Why should I donate?
Since coming out has trans, I have lost the support of all of my family, and my state’s insurance is unwilling to help pay for any treatment for my dysphoria. Mark and I decided years ago that we were going to move away to make a better life for ourselves. After years of planning and struggling, we’ve learned that there’s no way to budget ourselves out of this situation. We need help getting out of the oppressive and isolating environment we are living in so we can move to the Pacific Northwest to make better lives for ourselves.
I feel like I have done nothing but survive up to this point, and I’m ready to live as myself for the first time.

Why the Pacific Northwest?
+ More art job opportunities for me and my husband.
+ Less medical bills because the insurance will actually help pay for my treatments.
+ LGBTQ+ couples are protected by law.
+ More opportunities to develop a community or even a family.

What will my donation pay for?
Money raised here on gofundme will be used to move us and our belongings across the country as well as help pay for any fees or bills related to this move. Any extra made will be put into savings and used to help pay for future bills. Our timeline is to leave here for good in about three to six months.

Every dollar donated will mean so much to me. I am ready to start a new life at my new home, and have the opportunity to be the best person I can be.
