Hey, It’s Mina (or whatever you know me as). The Los Angeles fires have affected so much, and while my area hasn’t been directly hit by the fires, I’ve run into other issues and need to get out.

I was trying to move out of my apartment before this all started due to mold and rodents (so even before all of this, I’ve been in a hazardous environment), and my lease is up at the end of January, but the mass displacement in the city is going to make it impossible to find another apartment here. I have a situation set up in Colorado Springs and trying to move there by mid-February, I want to avoid getting stuck in the smoke as much as possible, especially because my area is being heavily affected by it.

I just need help getting there as I work just above minimum wage and still have living costs for the time being. Any amount gets me closer. All donations go towards a UHaul, gas, apartment, and other moving in costs.

Thank you so much in advance. Sending so much love to the people of Los Angeles during this time. Find any free mutual aid that you can if you’re in the area. I’ll do everything I possibly can to help. My heart breaks for this city.
