Hey everyone,
Traci has been having a really rotten run of it. See her Facebook post below. Having lived in NYC for five years, I have never seen such a bad run of luck attach itself to one person who has been in NYC for less than a year.
After Traci posted on Facebook, several people asked how they could help and whether she had a GoFundMe. I reached out to Traci to help set it up, as asking for help is incredibly difficult, and even harder when you're at an all-time low.
Let's get Traci out of this city and into one where her windows won't get smashed. See the breakdown of the costs after her post below.
If you want to avoid the 7.3% fee that GoFundMe takes out of each donation, feel free to send a message toTraci Asaurus for more information.

Traci's Facebook Post:
Guys I haven't been posting publicly because I have some specialized support groups to post to and I like to try to keep negative stuff off my feed but I need to catch you up now cause every time I think I've reached bottom I find another bottom.
I've been really struggling to find my place here in nyc. I have a lot of thoughts about that but they're not important right now. Suffice to say I've been having a really hard time. My depression and anxiety have been peaking for a while now and I'm still trying to get back on my medication. (I have a pending solution but it has to wait until next paycheck so please hold the advice ♡)
You may know I've been getting ready to sell my car. Last week I was rear ended and it severely damaged my back door. The duche who did it clearly wanted to fight me on it so even though he was clearly at fault I have no recourse as the car was uninsured and the penalty for that dramatically outweighs the cost of fixing the damage. It now won't close all the way and the amount I expect to get from selling it is dramatically less if I can sell it at all.
This weekend something happened that, while mostly expected, caused a level of heartbreak I wasn't prepared to handle on top of everything else. I won't go into details here so please don't ask.
By Sunday I had reached a low I didn't think I could surmount. I decided i needed to leave new york. I decided I couldn't get through this alone. My plan was to sell/donate the car and finish the process of subletting my apartment.
I'm still waiting to hear back about getting my deposit back when I sublet. I will find out tonight.
Once I had my deposit back I was gonna pack up everything in the bus and head to florida to be with my best friend. I confirmed this plan with her and her family. I had a plan, I started to feel a tiny bit better.
Last night, sometime before 3 am, someone for reasons unknown to me, decided to smash every window on the drivers side of the bus including the back window and the windshield. Due to the damage of the windshield the bus is not drivable.
Guys. I have nothing left. I will be filing a police report when I get home from work but my insurance does not cover vandalism. I don't know how to move forward. I just, I don't know what to do.
