Homeless Trans Family in need

Donation protected

Hello, My name is Billy and I'm currently homeless with two of my friends. I'm disabled and wheelchair bound.  My wheelchair is broken and we're currently fighting my insurance to get a new one. 

 

One of them is my home-care worker and two of us are disabled.  All three of us are Trans LGBTQA and we really really need your help and support.  Between my friend's job and our disability checks it still isn't enough to survive on the streets with our poor health.  I have to go to the doctor once a week and our van isn't exactly gas friendly, unfortunately.  

 

We've been homeless since November and have not been able to find a place to live.  We've been denied countless times when putting in applications for renting housing because our combined credit just isn't good enough or suddenly they demand we have a Co-signer which we are unable to get. On top of that putting in apps can get very expensive and it's expensive to be continuously denied and homeless. 

 

Right now we're living in our van which has no heating and is slowly breaking down and we can't afford to get it fixed nor can we afford to get the broken windshield wipers repaired which often makes it impossible to drive in the frequent Oregon rain. Temperatures out here can get below 20 degrees F at night. 

 

By donating to my fundraiser you'll be helping three trans, disabled, mentally ill people survive the cold harsh Oregon winter. The money will go to food, paying for gas and putting in applications to apartments and finding help.  

 

I greatly appreciate any help as right now we're living check to check and it's not enough to survive right now. 

 

We also have an  Amazon Wishlist with warm clothes and such if you'd like to help us stay warm this winter.  

 

If you'd like to know other ways you can help us please contact me at KingGigahertz[at]Gmail[dot]com 

 

Once again I appreciate you taking your time to read this.
