This message is from my friend:

I'm currently unable to work due to illness. I'm three months behind on rent, and facing eviction if I can't get that paid back urgently. Anything above the goal will help get me back on my feet, but the initial $7K is urgently needed to keep me housed.

I'm a very private person, and I can't talk about what happened because of trauma, but I've had a run of bad things happen to me and am asking for support. Thank you for being there for me.
