Down Payment For Apartment

Donation protected
Hey,
My name is Sage and right now my friend is a very tough spot. Let's call my friend Zed. They have been so resilient and hard-working, however, Zed has been going through some tough times. They recently applied for medical leave of absence from the university they go to. After this medical leave of absence was accepted, Zed had 72 hours to find housing. Zed does not have any family members that can take them in. As of Monday, September 25th, at 7:00 PM, Zed was legally homeless.

As of right now, Zed's plan is to hop from friend to friend. They do not have permanent housing. The university has a rule that allows guests to stay 3 nights over at a time. My friends and I will try to use that to the best of our ability to keep a roof over Zed's head.

Zed had previously talked to the university about their situation. They explained that if the university didn't allow them to continue to live on campus, they would not have a permanent residence. They said that they would have to bounce from friend to friend, or crash as a dorm. The university said that this "was good enough." Zed would not receive any aid from the university.

This morning Zed woke up and went about their day normally. They were going to plead their case again to the university to see if they could get any aid at all. By 7:00 PM, however, an RA came to see if Zed had left. The university was forcing them out.

As I write this, I watch my friends helping Zed pack. I see Zed having to make emergency plans. Zed only got to live there for less than three weeks.

I know times are tough. We're all going through it. But Zed needs 4 grand to make a down payment on an apartment. Zed has a job currently, but they don't have enough saved up to make a down payment and afford food.

If 800 people donate $5, it will be enough for Zed to have a home. So please share, donate, and do what you can. If you can't donate money, shares are appreciated.
