[ INTRO MUSIC: Tops by Lincoln Jesser ]
Hey, everyone. It's Jeff.
I hope you're doing well
and if you're new to what I do,
allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Jeff Miller. I'm 24 years old.
I live in the Midwest
and I hold a bunch of different titles,
but mostly I consider myself
a musician, a content creator,
a dog parent, a data analyst,
and likely owner to one of the
world's loudest sneezes. *laughs*
So what do I create?
I create videos every Monday and Friday
and those videos are all about my
life, my transitional journey, cover songs
and just all around educational videos
about trans related issues.
Now this video doesn't really fit
into those categories,
so what is this video for?
This video is essentially asking for your
consideration to support me on Patreon.
Patreon is a crowdfunding site
where you can support me directly
by pledging a certain amount
of money every month.
In return, you get something from me. 
* laughs *
And all of those perks are listed on my Patreon
page and that's linked down below.
But some of those perks include
a personalized thank-you note from me,
early video access so you can see
videos before anyone else can
and also a monthly live stream with me.
So that's cool and all,
but why am I asking for support?
Number one, I want to amplify
the value of what I am doing.
This could lead me to being able to travel to
different schools to help educate
and share my story and maybe even
do some performances
because I've done that in the past and that was really
awesome and I want to keep doing more of that.
Number two and perhaps the biggest reason,
if I'm being completely honest, is
I am planning on having phalloplasty in 2018.
The additional cost of housing, travel, and being
off work for at least two months for recovery...
That really adds up and financially
there's a lot of stress that goes with that.
So with this and your support
that would really help.
With all that being said, I want to make it clear
that this is absolutely not a requirement.
My videos will always remain free and
will always be there to help whoever needs it.
I don't want anyone to put themselves at risk
or feel like they're obligated to donate to me
because that's, that's not the case at all.
But if you would like to donate and
you feel like you are financially able to do that,
there are no words that I can say to accurately
show how much gratitude I have to you
If you are not able to donate
or you just plain don't want to *laughs*
that's okay. I still think that you're cool.
Any support though in any form, that's very much appreciated.
And that's pretty much it. So thank you so much for
watching. Thank you for your support.
And, as always, please remember
that you are valid.
You are loved.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend
and I'll see you again on Monday.
Bye.
