no words describe the grief i'm feeling in this moment. my system and i have been battling with our university for years now with financial aid. we were kicked out of our home for my host being trans back in 2023, and since then we've been homeless and forced to reside with university housing. Since this last summer, we finally have a stable home with our disability income and have not needed to stay with UH. however, they refused to let us out of the contract due to my host's disability income. with the income we have, we're barely able to afford rent, necessities, and food every month.

given these circumstances, we have an outstanding balance on his university account that we are unable to pay off. The university has refused our appeals numerous times and disregarded my host despite the struggles we face. He was recently put on a medical leave of absence, and we now cannot continue our education without paying off this balance of $5,000. We cannot afford this, and my host has since been withdrawn.

I feel awful knowing this. my host is a kind and caring person- always making sure my happiness and the happiness of his friends are cared for. he's given me commission money when he wasn't able to afford it just to make me smile on rough days. How he would always spend the money he didn't have for trinkets and commissions for our system to make sure we were happy. I feel like this is partly my fault, even knowing my $20 commissions wouldn't have made much of a difference for this. I want to help him in any way i can. this gofundme will be solely used for paying my host's outstanding balance so he is given the chance so many others refused to give him. I don't want him to give up after so long of fighting. please help me give him back that chance of getting a degree and having a future he's happy in.
