Moving Fund

It's really hard to ask for help, even when it is really needed, but I can't see any other way right now.

I am a transman, currently living in a situation that has become increasingly uninhabitable for many reasons, including being groped and sexually harassed on a constant basis, and often going for days without eating.

The area I live in has virtually no job market, costs of living are sky high and I don't dare let anyone know that I am transgender or ask for my pronouns to be respected, since I'd probably find myself without a place to live and most likely far, far worse.

I grew up all over the place, including on the street for a brief time, and have no family or support system to fall back on.  

My goal right now is to move out of this area that is both NOT LGBT friendly at all, but has no job market, and to be able to find a safe place to live where I can find work and support myself, and finally give my transition a good start. If possible, I would like to legally change my name right as I'm leaving, just so I wouldn't have to go through the whole "oh what's your name now?" dance of teaching people the new one, and just have them know me by it to begin with.

I would like to move to Portland, Oregon. Finding a suitable place to live will be a bit tough, particularly since stairs are a problem for me (I have a messed up leg and spine, and often have to wear a brace or use a cane to walk) and the expenses tend to be high, but with the job market there and the thriving LGBT community, it seems like my best chance for a future.

I've been told they want me out by the end of the year. Since I haven't been able to find work, I have no savings left and have absolutely nothing to move with, so I don't know what I'll do if something doesn't happen immediately.
