<div>Hi, I’m Gina Rae Duran



</div>



<div>I am a Queer Indigenous Chicanx, substitute teacher, writer, artist and volunteer radio show host at KQBH LA (Boyle Heights Arts Conservatory). As some may know, I have done a lot of volunteer and paid work with the IE Hope Collective for the homeless and houseless living on the streets, as well as for the LGBTQ2S+, foster, disabled, and refugee youth, as well as for youth in juvenile halls. However, this last year was my slowest volunteer year because my car started having so many problems I had to downsize and move things into a smaller storage unit near my house. Then I had to take buses and trains to work and to school, so my back went out.



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>I took a train to AWP and my friends with Inlandia let me stay with them, in exchange for working the booth so I could speak on a panel. Then I got home and I couldn’t walk anymore.



</div>



<div>I had to borrow money to repair my car and I lost three months of work.



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>I went to the hospital several times, but all they would give me was steroids. They refused to give me X-rays until I had consistent pain. I had to come back for at least six months. I was already on an anti-inflammatory diet because of early menopause due to endometriosis and a long history of back issues—due to childhood trauma.



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>I tried doing a Gofundme but I only received $50. A few friends helped me with utilities and I was applying for better jobs within my field, because I just graduated. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get any work so I went back to school to get a Post-MFA certificate to teach creative writing. I took out more student loans, which helped me get back on my feet and continued the job search, fixed my car, and picked up more side jobs. I now work 5 jobs and do my volunteer work.



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>Unfortunately, that was not the end of my story because my back went out again and the holidays rolled around, so I went three more months out of work and I have no student loans to save me. I developed vertigo and was given more steroids, which didn’t really help. They finally ordered new labs and tests. I have low TSH thyroid and the doctor won’t give me thyroid medication until after 6 months and the X-rays show that I have osteoarthritis in my spine and sacrum—which is caused by trauma to the body and menopause increases the risk.



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>I live on my own and have a 10 month old border collie named Dandy, who makes sure I walk to keep my back healthy, and a 12 year old black cat named Mama Berry, who purrs, kisses and cuddles me.



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>We are now three months behind on rent and my landlord says I can pay an additional $200 a month on top of my $1,700 a month to help me recover. However, he is also telling me I will have to move out if I don’t pay him $1,900.00 this month. He is essentially trying to evict me without a notice. I just need help with this month, but I really need $5,100.00 so I can clear my debt with him as I continue to look for work, because I just got my certification in January. And it would be really nice to have one less stress for my 49th birthday, this February 15th.



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>Thank you for your consideration.



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>Warmly,



</div>



<div>Gina Rae

</div>

<div>P.S. I have paid off medical and got caught up on electric, DMV, phone, wifi, my credit card, and on a couple months of late rent. 

</div>

<div>I now owe one month of past due rent, late gas bill fees, and personal loans for car repairs so I am lowering what I need. 
</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you to everyone who has helped me. 

</div>
