I am asking for emergency support because I am facing a wrongful eviction from a HUD‑funded housing program, and I currently do not have enough money for basic needs like food, hygiene items, or transportation. I need help to survive this process and to travel to the HUD Regional Office in San Francisco so I can protect my housing and stop the eviction before it becomes irreversible.

San Francisco has been my home for most of my life. I moved there when I was 17 and lived in the city for 15 years. I only left during the pandemic because life had become unbearably hard — I had lost too many friends, too much stability, and I wanted a chance to rebuild myself. I went back home to be with my mom, hoping for a fresh start, but she passed away only a year after I returned. Since then, I’ve been isolated, disconnected from the person I used to be, and fighting every day just to stay grounded. I’m not trying to be who I was — I’m trying to have the chance to be a person again, someone who matters in the world.

If I had even one person I could stay with, or anyone I could ask for even ten dollars, I would never be putting my story out here. Not because I’m embarrassed by my journey — I’m not. It’s because the reality is that everything I knew is gone, and everyone I once relied on is gone too. I’m asking for help because I have no one left to call, and I’m praying that strangers might help me get through this moment so I can stand on my own again.

On April 23, 2026, HUD officially confirmed in writing that I am a participant in a HUD Continuum of Care program and that they received my complaint about retaliation, misconduct, and a false “non‑payment” eviction notice issued by Interim, Inc. HUD has required Interim to respond within 15 days. Despite this, Interim issued me a 60‑day termination notice demanding past‑due rent based on incorrect calculations. My program agreement states that my rent is tied to General Assistance and should be no less than the authorized monthly amount — which I have always been willing to pay.

I have never refused to pay rent. I refused to pay incorrect and unlawful numbers. I am already working with the City to correct the rent and process rental forgiveness, but the eviction clock is still running. I need to go to HUD in person to protect my rights, my safety, and my housing before the deadline passes.

Right now, I am completely out of money. I cannot afford shampoo, laundry, food, or transportation. I have no family support and no one I can call. Every dollar will help me cover basic needs and get to San Francisco so I can fight this and keep my home.

Any support — big or small — helps me survive this and take the steps I need to protect my future. Thank you for reading and for standing with me.
