Getting My First Home

Donation protected

Hi, my name is Riv and I'm fundraising for my first home that would have my name on a lease. I moved out of my hometown to Ohio with only three bags, some clothes, and a little money so that I can build a better life for myself, even if it meant doing it mostly by myself. I have no regrets, and it has been a long, hard journey. Even when people didn't believe in me, didn't show up for me, I still showed up for myself like I am doing right now.


This Go Fund Me is to help finance my getting my foot into the door of my first apartment. I made the goal $2500 so that I can cover a deposit combined with first month's rent ranging from $500-700 dollars each, transportation/moving costs, in addition to small furnishing that is needed, examples being bedding, a mattress, lamp, and bathroom/hygiene materials. As someone who struggled with homelessness, displacement, and financial hardship, I am more than excited to being this close to giving myself what I always wanted, and that is a home in my own name. I will be working two or three jobs with start states coming up very soon, and have some funds coming to me but will take at least a week to be accessible. I am in a temporary place until the 19th of this month so it is urgent, and I would have to find another safe temporary place soon if I do not stay here or move to where I want to be. This is to give me all the options I can have so that nothing is missed in accomplishing this goal. If you prefer to donate directly, my cashapp is $Riv997 and my venmo is DanceLit73. For anyone who can donate or share this to places with any traffic, thank you in advance. It is more than deeply appreciated. And to the haters, thank you for making me stronger.
