My name is Elio Ervin. I am a Trans Masculine Non-binary person who has lived in the city for the last 3 years. I started this year out much like everyone else... 3 jobs and ready to kick this year in the teeth. Then CoVID. And now September 9 a fire started on the back stairwell in my apartment building. The fire quickly took the stairwell and continued to my floor where the laundry/ storage room and kitchen we consumed by fire. Firefighters were able to put out the flames, but damage has made the apartment unlivable and we are unsure of the landlords next move. I am luck to still have most of my possessions, but finding a new home during CoVID without a job is difficult task. I’m hoping to raise money for a deposit and a couple months rent to get me on my feet.
