WORKING CLASS BLACK TRANS PERSON NEEDS HELP TO COVER BASIC LIVING COSTS
I'm at drama school, and kind of trapped in a housing contract. I'm going to be paying 2x rent (£900+) as an agency fucked us over. They said they had a house under the 0 deposit scheme - at a late moment during the process, after we had signed paper and put down holding money they informed us that this house does not go under this scheme. They even told us the house was now off the market. They seem to be a sketchy place because on their reviews they've done this before.
I was meant to be working full-time this summer to support myself, but I was furloughed because of Covid. Instead of being given more working hours (which I was supposed to be), I was given the amount of a weekend job wage of £160 a month, but since then I have lost my job completely.
I have multiple medical costs each month that I also pay for: I'm currently paying for T-Gel, medication for my health conditions and strict dietary requirements which all add up.
I'm currently creating artwork commissions to make ends meet - they're very personal and set to specific requirements which can be quite draining. I have recently secured a job but do not start working until the 24th August. The job is 1.5 hours each way, and costs me £7 each way to travel. The job does not pay London Living Wage.
If you would prefer, I am happy to do art commissions for people. If you would like to purchase one please head to my instagram: @abstractkid_
I am asking for this money to cover the following:
- £1800 2x Rent
- £50 to cover travel costs to work until I get paid
- £20 Medication
- £50 Gender affirming hormones
- £100 Bills
- £160 Food
- £75 Passport
I have added an extra £75 to the goal as a small amount of your donation is taken by gofundme, any leftover money will be redistributed to a black trans persons fundraiser.
Thank you so much for your love and support.
