She had been saving for years. Through it all. Whether she lost her job, or when her parents abused her. Lou?no, Ashley she had to remind herself and not let her parents brainwashing get through, had seen no reason not to save her money. After all, there were two very important things that she wanted in life. But the poor Trans girl couldn?t seem to catch a break. It was enough to make even the sanest of men or women cry and run for cover. Still though, she couldn?t help but keep going no matter what. Even at the ripe ?old? age of thirty four, she wanted nothing more in life than to transition from the male body she was born in to female and to move out of her parents? home. They were abusive to her even now, when she was trying to help them out. Her mom had been born disabled, her half-brother?s father had become a type II diabetic after losing his job at the big box department store. And they had custody of her three year old nephew after his father and mother both abandoned him. She had started small, a few pennies there and few dimes here. She thought she had lost some friendships but then gained others. Her most valuable being a wolfskunk hybrid friend and a bear on the west coast. A rat in Baltimore was most loved as well. They had helped her, whether it was with money or just words of encouragement. Now, she was standing in one of those stores, trying to decide whether or not to put the money aside for herself or to buy her nephew an Easter present. He had recently started to love Minions?goddess knows why?and they were a big hit on merchandise. ?If I buy him this, I?ll be in the hole for saving?but I really want to see his face light up.? She sighed as Ashley picked up the plastic tumbler glass. Sure, it?d be ten dollars she didn?t save. But still, her nephew was what mattered at the moment. It was important to see him happy. She?d just have to make do.

She always did.
