Hello all,

I am Drea Smith pka drea the vibe dealer/the punk fairy - a disabled AuDHD interdisciplinary teaching artist and performer.

I have been back in Chicago for a year now and have had no luck securing a day job and place of my own. I am not near enough to community to be supported in the ways that I need to function.

I have been living in a room provided graciously as a form of Mutual Aid for the past year, but my time here is coming to an end - and went longer than it should've have. I am looking to be in community where support doesn't stress out the few who have helped me this far.

I am disabled but able to manage my disabilities when in an environment where I can accommodate myself and do my freelance art education work, vending and performing.

I am raising funds for a studio apartment, moving support, supports for my disability ( knee brace, compression wear, proper shoes and chairs to sit and work in) and transportation for job interviews.

I really want to stay in Chicago and would appreciate any and all support in doing so.

Thank you for reading
