Can't think of a funny title but I could use some help
5Hello,
I realize I’m sort of a nobody around these parts. (but uh, who isn’t? [kidding]) I’ve lurked these forums and feel maybe some of you might at least be willing to listen and possibly even help my partner Alexander and I out with something. We’ve been working towards it for a while but have had a lot of trouble with several hurdles and general obstacles.
We recently got out of an abusive living situation where the solution we came to was to send Alex to Portland, OR where a friend was offering us both a place to live and get back on our feet. But here’s the snag, he’s been there since January (and actually currently moving with our friend to the Springfield, MO) and I’m still living here, in Miami, where it’s been ridiculously difficult to generate the necessary savings to get myself over there reasonably quickly.
Here is a link to our kind of long running GoFundMe page where you can read a bit more especially our current plans and issues in the most recently posted update.

If you can’t contribute please consider at least sharing it with some of your online social circles.
Why should you help? You’re either a fan of helping highly specific LGBT causes or you’re a sympathetic person who wants to help us get to a level of security where we can pay it forward and help somebody else ourselves.
Thanks for reading.
(PS: we ran this by meh support and the wonderful Jackie said it was okay to post this as long as I am “open and honest” about it so I’ll be happy to field questions you might have)

What would Marcus Aurelius do?
@karamazovsdevil According to wikipedia: make his name longer and longer.
Wish you guys the best of luck on your journey.
I’ve stayed the night in Springfield a few times, found a nice hotel, and it made a good halfway point when my brother lived in Dallas, and it seems like a lovely city.
Here’s what I know about Springfield: college town ( there are 4 in town), the hotel I liked is an old route 66 motor lodge that has been kept up, and kept the kitsch( best Western route 66 rail Haven) always folks from the UK there doing the route 66 tour.
Just up the road from there is a lot with a bunch of food trucks, the only one I’ve eaten from specializes in Cornish pasties. ( I can’t not stop there now if I’m in the area.)
@earlyre Our friend/soon to be roommate is actually a native of the area so he’ll be a good sherpa for us. Besides I did the important research already: is there going to be a Little Caesar’s nearby? (the answer is yes)
