2016 hasn't been the greatest year for me but my Santa has definitely lifted my spirits!

My gift contained:

Data units to add to my phone - this will be extremely useful for me, the internet at place is very unreliable and my landlord won't do anything to fix it, so when the library is closed or I can't get to the library, my phone is how I check my email for jobs and interview requests, etc.

An amazon gift card - I'm not sure if I am going to use this to try to buy my family xmas gifts or if I'm going to try to pick up a couple things I need when they go on sale after xmas, but either way, I definitely appreciate this and it will be put to good use

A four week digital subscription to the New York Times - I love this, thank you! It's the kind of thing I would never be able to justify spending money on for myself, so I'm very excited to have received this!

A donation to the Trans Lifeline - this was such an awesome thing for you to do, thank you so much!! I'm trans and I've struggled with suicidality in the past and will likely always be challenged with some level of depression, so I know how important this help line is to the trans community, especially this year, especially in my state, NC.

Additionally, there are a couple books on the way that I can share with my nephew. Spending time with my nephew is pretty much the most important thing in my life and I am ecstatic about having something new and fun for us to do together.

Firloop, you're an awesome person! Thank you for the note you included and for putting so much thought into these gifts!
