Hi , my name's Xav - I'm a street-based sex worker , graphic designer, tattoo artist and camic creator. I have a beloved lurcher dog, Zami , who apart from being my main support and the light of my life, actually is also an emotional support animal.

I'm in recovery from addiction and living in homeless shelters where there's a lot of drugs and violence. Resently ,I was attacked, and lots of irreplaceable items , chiefly the ipad I use for my work but also my power bank , lantern I used when sleeping rough ,and most of my clothes were robbed. I need to start over but my health has suffered significantly as a result of my addiction. My main income is from sex work but I'm fighting PTSD after the robbery and am now desperately poor.

I'm starting this fundraiser as I don't believe in police ( I'm an anarchist - ACAB til death ) but I need a lump sum ,to replace the electronics I've lost so I can make art again. The initial target is to include funds for survival, caring for my dog ,and my own health. My friends held another GoFundMe earlier in my struggle and it honestly saved my life. But I lose significant funds and possessions and need help to ; get another tablet so I can work and make art again, and care for and feed myself and my dog while I save .

I hope you can help ,I'll be so grateful if you can !

Love X xoxo
