I need help. My friend needs help.

I am a disabled woman in Missouri with no job, so I cannot do this alone.

My bestest friend in the whole world, Frederick Saxton (Siris the Lion), needs more love than ever. He is a pre-op transboy in a terrible living situation with awful parents he is unmovingly attached to. He also has some serious depression and anxiety, and has been shown to have suicidal thoughts... And tendencies. I have had to stay up many nights comforting him and even talking him out of it. I am always there for him.

Except today.

He texted me on Line about feeling worthless and meaningless and I wasn't there. I was at an academic meet and my phone was turned off. It was hours before I saw his message.

I promised him that I would see him at least once this year but that is nearly impossible by myself.

He lives in Modesto, California. I am in Ironton, Missouri.

The trip there is roughly 408$ from a calculator but I'm afraid that it is going to cost 550 to 600$ to get from here to there on the Amtrak.

I know he needs to see me. That is the only thing keeping him going at this point, I'm afraid. I said it would be summertime but I need to go NOW.

I need to see him.

I am an amateur artist and writer and this is my PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/RoboCatStudios1

I specialize in chibis and horror, and my prices are always negotiable. I am in desperate need.

Please. Help me.

Help him.
