CW Gun violence, death/

ALT

My friend is a trans woman who is currently homeless. Last night she witnessed her friend being shot and killed at a homeless encampment. She had to run away to avoid being shot herself. She is completely broke, out of gas, sick and traumatized, and still homeless. She just arrived in the city, but she needs to leave again after this terrifying night. Please please help. It’s pride month, and I’m tired of begging every day for a trans woman to have what little she needs to survive.

Hi, I’m Erin, does anyone have $15 for dinner? The kids are hungry and keep asking when is dinner, where is dinner and I don’t know what to do. My last post died and I have no money currently to buy food as we’re going through a very hard time. My SSI isn’t coming til next month, I think. I know everyone’s going through a hard time at the moment. Anything is appreciated, be it a penny or a dollar. Thank y'all 🙏 💙 No one has to donate if they don’t want to or can’t, it’s okay! Hate will be blocked.

I’m sorry to keep asking, but I need help for my family. Any help is appreciated be it a penny or a dollar. It would be a major help to us, I’d be eternally grateful. As usual, no one has to donate if they don’t want to or can’t. I love y’all and am forever thankful for y’all as we have no help irl.

Good day everyone. Its me again, Maria. I will never get tired of asking help for my family, just a little recap: From the start of the pandemic I was laid off on work and because of all the people who helped me and my family, I was able to helped my brother in his last days, he is a dialysis patient but unexpectedly passed away last Nov 13, 2020. I was able to provide food for my family, my mother, brother and 8 kids, they’re my nephews and nieces who is orphan. We were able to live in a safer house because of the donation i received from all the generous and kind people. Its 2021 and there is still no sign on when the pandemic ends. Im asking again your help for donations for food, medicines and bills. I promise to give back to people in need when I can. 😭🙏❤️

hey a family friend is in an ICE detention center about to be deported and he really needs money for a lawyer! i’m going to reblog with a link to donate because i hear tumblr fucks with posts with links

https://www.facebook.com/donate/653597825364515/

please please reblog!!!

to clarify, his parents came to the states when he was a small child so he doesn’t have any contacts if he gets deported, all of his friends and family are in the united states. i know everyone is really short on money but if you have something to spare, anything helps! everyone is worried for him, he’s stuck in a detention center during a pandemic, if you can’t donate i totally understand, please don’t put yourself in a bad situation, but sharing this would be really appreciated!

look i really don’t feel like it’s my place to share darion’s entire life story here but since it matters apparently, his mother and father are both dead and his only living blood relative is his little brother (who was born on american soil, so he’s a citizen but not darion)

for people asking for info on how to help outside of facebook, here’s some i’ve received from people closer to him!:

“If you want to pass on the ICE account info, the online is accesscorrections.com, the inmate info is Darion Sears, A#27549306 and he is at the Northwest Processing Center.  There is also a US toll-free number (866)345-1884 which I found to be confusing as all hell"

thank you all so so much for spreading this, it really means a lot

i reaally don’t want to be a bother but this post is losing traction and we’re not even halfway to the goal, please keep boosting this!

Me, my partner, and my 1.5 year old daughter are all now homeless.

And I’m pregnant.

I have a job - I’m a server and I get one bartending shift a week. However I was out of commission in the hospital after an intense wreck.

Then after a bit family blowout, we are all homeless. The reason for kicking them out was that they were sick of caring for her disabilities and demanded every penny of every disability check.

I this is a hella last ditch effort. But my own side of the family has been tightening a leash around my neck and will do anything to keep me away from the person a child I’m having and my ultimatum is looking like this - raise a SECOND child alone and get away from my paper, OR raise TWO kids with a man I love who works so hard to take care of our little family. The choice is clear to me.

I need about $800 to put my family in an apartment. It’s that simple. After that, I’ll be working all my bar shifts and getting money but I need help getting there, and soon. I don’t want my love sleeping in a freezing cold car again for the third night in a row.

These are the people your donations are helping btw. My name is Sam. The baby is Lilliana, Lilli for short. We’re in desperate need and things have been getting rough. Please share what you can.

As of 11/14, our tire has blown and we have been hit by a loan bill. We’ve got the apartment applications in but the loan payment took the deposit. Please help us get stable. We’re so close, y'all. So close to getting out of toxic, unhelpful, draining homes.

And just to clarify, that vehicle is all we have. It gets us to OB appointments for the fetus. It gets us to pediatricians for my daughter. Please, help until we can stabilizer.

As of November 20th, we blew two tires and are in desperate need of monetary help for them. Again, I’m so sorry for pushing around this all the time but this is a stressful time.

So idk what the fuck happened but we’ve got a bed to sleep in and I thought all our bills were caught up but I guess not and now I’m panicking. I don’t have a shift till tomorrow because I have a doctor’s appointment today so I can’t even get SOME cash to try and offset this.

Being homeless is really starting to frustrate the absolute hell out of me. People are too okay being evil to me and leaving me in situations. I was stranded in an area I don’t know very well and I have $20 to my name. I’m trying to uber to the closest motel and get a room for the night so I’m out of the cold until I can figure something else out. I’d need about $60 more to make this happen. If anybody can spare a reblog or a dollar even.. it would help so much and be greatly appreciated. Don’t feel obligated.

ATTENTION TUMBLR!!!

Since I wasn’t able to raise enough money to escape my abusive home and get a new apartment, I’ve had to move back in with my homophobic dad who is legally my guardian through the courts. I am an adult, but he’s had me deemed mentally incapable by a judge, even though this is far from true. He is trying to send me to conversion therapy in the United States, right now it is just threats but I need out before he actually does it. Please help if you can. I need to raise enough for lawyer fees to contest his guardianship (5,000 to start), the move (rent is $1600 altogether because I need first and last months) and food + basic necessities/furniture ($1,000). Altogether, I am trying to raise $7,600. Below is the link to my money pool where you can contribute.

Help Two HUNGRY Disabled Young Trans Men Survive the Shelter! - Desperately Need Aid against Stalker Mother 

Hello, you might recognize me from these posts. We appreciate all the support but need help again. My husband and I currently homeless having been kicked out of our respective abusive transphobic and homophobic homes. Abuse that has strongly continued even we’ve been the shelter system since December 2nd. My mother has been aggressively harassment through phone and email. She has harrassed calling 25+ times to Stephen’s mother and step-father demanding that they tell her our address. I have blocked her across all devices and she continues to make accounts to message me threating emails that range from briding me to come home and separate from my husband effectively abandoning him in the shelter and to kidnapping me and placing me in a mental institution. My mother has a strong history of stalking, sabtogating and violence towards others. On May, she sent two demonstrating that she knew about the Gofundme which you can continue to donate to. Here. As as well knowing my address. I’m terrified of her. Terrified I placed a report against her that may or may not have resulted in her arrest as a required step of getting an order of protection against her. 

Both my husband and I had filed reported against her. My mother has threatened violence against my husband.

Even since this shelter started been completely transparent about my mother’s intense abuse with DHS and HRA official but since the abuse was from my mother, not an intimate partner I have no entitlement to NOVA ( domestic violence services that would expedited my husband and I getting housing ) despite all acknowledgement from officials that if my mother were an intimate partner we would have well qualified. 

Prior to homelessness since my mother had been consistently threatening to kick us out we pondered ending the shelter system and pursuing a LINC voucher. When we became homeless and created this donation post we continued with the LINC voucher in mind. Unfortunately, due to the slow and outwardly hostile shelter system, we were delayed months in pursuit of the voucher despite having the recommended savings because neither my husband and I were working. Both my husband and I were enrolled in school full time. He just finished his medical leave from school due to this surgery and back to full time. However we had been entitled to a disability during the duration of his months’ long recovery WE DID NOT RECIEVE because we not informed that it was an option by our shelter despite providing extensive documentary in regards to the surgery multiple. There was have been numerous incidents of mismanagement and misinformation which has prevented us from going forward and reaching our goal which getting out of the shelter. 

This was our ‘home’ where we slept without a lockable door, proper blankets, access to showers, dormed next a violent domestic abusive couple which was triggering given both of my partner’s and I’s histories. The food provided was uneatable, served spoiled and frozen and resulted in multiple hostipalizations from food posioning. 

Tw: violence & domestic violence

We have been moved to a permanent shelter but things are not much better. We are still surrounded by violence everyday. Every night we heard domestic violence, our next door neighbour was being consistently beaten and strangled by her husband. We had reported this to social services, security a number of times. We had called the police several times, it took her being nearly stabbed to death with glass from her husband breaking a mirror over her head resulting in visual scars for him to be taken away. Still, he came back despite being banned and nearly assaulted my husband who was trying to help our neighbor. My husband has encountered this violent man on a number of occasions. This violence no matter how awful is the norm. We hear violence every night. We haven’t been able to sleep well in the entire time we’ve been here. I have nightmares every night. My husband and I have had terrible flashbacks that lasted hours. We report these incidents to no solutions. We live in constant terror because some of the abusers have made it known they will MURDER anyone who tried to report the violence. We are constantly in the prescence of hard drugs as dealers from within the building near fought over illegal methadone in front of our door. We have taken to carrying weapons everyday for our safety. 

We have been notoriously underpaid by our benefits only received Cash Assistance of 30 dollars for us both every two weeks when we were entitled at least $90 dollars and more since upon enrollment we were in school. As of right now, our meagre cash assistance is FROZEN and our food stamps case has been CLOSED despite despite our filling out the required cash assistance rectification. We now have to do a fair trial in order for it be turned back on but unsure how long that will take. Despite living a non-cooking facility meaning that our shelter provides NO FOOD of any kind and doesn’t offer any cooking equipment besides a single microwave. Food stamps can only pay for cold food—meaning we are meant to pay ingredients and cook at home but COOKING EQUIPMENT ( hotplates, toasters, rice cookers, instapots, etc ) is forbidden in our shelter.  As a consolation, we are supposed to recieve restaurant dollars to buy hot food but haven’t received a single cent of it the duration we have had benefits despite showing information that our shelter is a non-cooking facility multiple times. We are forced to either be completely dependent on food kitchens and food pantries which are minimum 30 minutes away by car from our shelter. We smuggled in a hot plate but it can be confiscated at any time if found during a room inspection. We are both disabled and mentally ill so cooking is not an option all of the time so we ultimately end up settling for cheap fast food which has taken a terrible toll on our physical and mental health as well as quickly use our limited donation money. I am chronically sick as a result of our poor diet. 

We are pursuing alternative methods of income since “earned” income is required to even get to SEE a housing specialist ( the single housing specialist assigned to our shelter of 500+ families ). We have been pursuing child support since my husband and I are both nineteen now but were 18 and 19 respectively when entering the shelter system. However, despite filling out the forms months ago, my court date at least is in late July before I can start receiving payments. And without payment as a sort of income, we are barred from seeing the Housing Specialist at to even get more information about Vouchers. 

We have tried through our efforts to find out more housing. We have contacted multiple DHS entities, outside non-profit organizations, tried the advice of friends going through the shelter system but since the LINC vouchers have been morphed into one, the process is very new and unclear. We have no other option but to just wait but desperately need money to survive in the meantime. Neither Stephen or I could work. He because of his surgery as well his debilitating mental illnesses and me due to my severe and chronic disabilities. Believe me if either of us work we have—we just want to be out of this terrible shelter so badly. Every day is just a struggle to find the will not to kill ourselves, I apologize for the triggering statement but it’s true. We’re desperate. We just want to get out and start our lives. Six months ago we would have never imagined to be living like this and we just want to live again because right now we are just bareknuckling it and going through the motions.

We are a purusing disability for me but despite having filled and submitted now a month and some change have yet to recieve a date from WeCare to start the process. If/When I get approved for disability we can pursue the alternative route of supportive housing or at the least now have an income ( though my own disability income and being considered a sick family member to Steph who then would be trained and compenstated for taking care of me which is neccessary. ) Even Stephen is cleared he’d be returning to school full-time. Even if he were to shift to part-time which would, “in theory”, give him more time to work he’d be responsible for all the hours missed due to the chaoticness of our homeless rendering unable to work weekends. I can’t be alone, eat alone commute by public transportation at all, and by car alone. I need supervison and assistance at all times. 

We have no savings all our donation has been used dealing with the number of complications with Stephen’s surgery ( more information is detailed here ). We need money for Stephen’s upcoming WeCare appointment tomrrow as well as my upcoming therapy appoints. 

Transm*ds/T*RFs and Classist please don’t interact with this post. Been lucky not to have a lot of negativity directed at my husband and I but would rather not start. If you feel like my post is suspicious which it isn’t——very much homeless and suffering simply don’t reblog, don’t donate. If you find my cause unsympathetic don’t reblog, don’t donate. I force no one to donate——I appreciate and eternally grateful to those who do but know it’s not forced.

BIG NEEDS 

FOOD, like my god just food. Money for hot food. 

Uber - Our sole means of transportation of Uber since I can’t literally go on public transport without having anxiety so severe I either vomit or shit myself. We are have required appointment such as my therapy and pysch which are twice each two weeks. Costing 20-25 one way totalling between 40-50 dollars a round trip. We have to go HRA appointment typically once every 2-3 weeks which is 11-13 dollars one way and 22-26 dollars roundtrip. 

A storage unit at the moment we live in a 10x10 space room meant for a SINGLE individual. where our full size bed take up a third of the room. The drawer that came with the room has been broken since arrival. As one would living in a space going on six months we accumulate things—-we clean everyday and have purchased a number of storage methods but there simply not enough. We clean our room everyday but there is simply not enough space for our all our possessions. 

A large proportion of our belongings already are at Stephen’s abusive grandmother’s house and we’d like to minize interactions with her as much as possible as well as store it in a more accessible place since she lives an hour away by public transport and 30 to 40 minutes away by Uber ( a trip that amounts to $40 both ways )

Recurring Expenses

Phone Bill: 80 dollars, our phones are our everything, our access to money, the contacts we desperately need.

GoFund Me

https://www.gofundme.com/manage/help-disabled-trans-men-out-the-shelter

Due to the halt of donations we were forced to dip into our donation from our Gofundme which we wanted to keep as purely savings when we finally get to the point of seeing the housing specialist. Unfortunately, at this point we used all the donation money, all 2,400 to simply keep surviving since GoFundme took a percentage of the 2,500. We have made a new gofundme which includes once again the saving requirement set by the shelter as well as money necessary to keep us afloat till July/August. The goal is now 6,000 which will include the savings required as well as money to hold us over until we can start reviving more of an income in July ( hopefully through child support )

Amazon Wishlist 

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/33HIWHRPJZW6E?ref_=wl_share 

The wishlist has listed a range of items that make day to day living easier and some things that would just be nice. Strongly advise ordering by priority because some things are needed more than others.

Note: money donations will always be more help because we can get tangible things more quickly like food our biggest priority at any given time, metrocards now my husband is back in school, cost of Uber. But know every dollar means something so don’t feel bad if you can only offer a dollar, five, each of them adds up and more than we’d have our own.

Please consider checking out his his donation related tag ( honestly he is better at keeping up with that than I, too being depressed ) is 

UPDATE: People were having issues with the link so reposted it. https://www.gofundme.com/help-disabled-trans-men-out-the-shelter&rcid=r01-155884102732-8dbc97abf55c4cb2&pc=ot_co_campmgmt_w 

You may have to make an account because I had to make unsearchable through search engines for safety reasons. 

Reminder to everyone while the reblogs are a huge help don’t underestimate the power of the collective. If every person who reblogged donated a dollar we’d be close to a third of a way to our Gofundme goal. Imagine if everyone gave five? Please don’t stress yourself to give large amounts just know that every dollars adds up. Thank you so much for your continued support.

⚠️‼️ URGENT: PLEASE HELP A TRANS MAN GET OUT OF HIS ABUSIVE LIVING SITUATION ‼️⚠️

March 1st, 2019

Neo here!

So, long story short, it kind of hit me how I desperately need help getting out of my emotionally abusive mother’s house. I have until MAY 1ST to pay my mother my part of the rent, something that’s only recently been announced to me, or else I will be KICKED OUT.

She has drastically increased threats of kicking me out since I announced my plans to move in with @humanpassing & @vandalbrask in Massachusetts, and frankly, I’m starting to panic.

It’s already incredibly hard to find a job in my town, and with the end of school fast approaching, any jobs are going to be scooped up by summer job seekers, and I can’t risk being kicked out because of it.

Please spread this however you can—reblogs are especially helpful to me!!

Thank you to everyone who donates and reblogs this! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING helps me right now.

You can donate to my GoFundMe here, and don’t be scared to DM me if you have inquiries about art commissions!
