I’m a struggling disabled, Black, and queer person urgently asking for mutual aid to survive. I was recently scammed by a job that promised steady pay but never fully paid me, leaving me with nothing. Now I’m facing the reality that my only option is a shelter if I can’t cover rent, food, and essentials for myself and my two cats — or raise enough to get back home to Chicago to be with my family and have a safe place to land. Anything you can give or share truly means the world right now.
