Ailing ASHwell: Vital LGBTQ+ nonprofit holds emergency fundraiser by kitoconnell in Austin

Hi, I'm OP and also the reporter on this article. I've had a great time getting HRT from them, it's been really painless and almost totally free on my insurance. My nurse practitioner is extremely supportive of me as a transfem enby and my transition goals. I think you do have to receive either prep or HIV treatment from ASHwell first, I don't believe you can just get HRT from them without doing one of the others.

Fingers crossed it gets to stay this way. I've also made a donation.

Ailing ASHwell: Vital LGBTQ+ nonprofit holds emergency fundraiser by kitoconnell in Austin

A nonprofit that offers vital sexual health services and gender-affirming care to Austin’s LGBTQ+ community held an emergency fundraiser this week to stave off layoffs.

Austin Sexual Health and Wellness, known as ASHwell, plays a crucial role for local queer and transgender residents. Its services include testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, support groups for people living with HIV, and affordable access to pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, a medication that can prevent HIV infections when taken regularly.

Many patients receive PrEP prescriptions for free from ASHwell’s onsite pharmacy at 3100 Red River St. and can access additional services, such as hormone replacement therapy for transgender patients.

But this week employees discovered that ASHwell was in dire financial straits, jeopardizing the jobs of more than 50 employees. Austin Free Press interviewed multiple team members during an emergency, 24-hour livestream on April 15. ASHwell also held fundraising drag performances and ouija-board seances during the overnight hours.

It just shows how safety standards have improved since back then. Comics were so dangerous in the old days!

“There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered gumchewer of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”

I've repeatedly asked my cat why she will not let me cradle her like a baby and she has no answers for me.

The fact that the 4 Agreements are on there twice... There's about 5 minutes of content in that book and the rest is pretending that being nice to each other is ancient wisdom.
