Hello, my name is Tristen. I am 39 years old, a father of two boys, and a proud member of the LGBTQ community.

A little bit about me: I am on disability. I have ADHD, bipolar disorder, mild paranoia, depression, and severe anxiety. I was recently told I had to leave where I was staying because they needed the room for my nephew. I tried to go back to my last two family members, but neither of them would have me. One said they had no room, and the other said no because her boyfriend does not approve of gays. So now, I am living out of a hotel in Cleveland. Technically, it’s a motel, but it’s good enough for me.

The thing is, I am running out of money to pay for my hotel, and I have no money for food. I am currently looking for resources to help me find housing. If anybody could help me with any donations, I would be more than grateful, even if it’s just a dollar. I promise to pay it forward when I am back on my feet. Thank you guys so much. I truly appreciate all of you.
