Help a married queer Black trans couple pay bills
Donation protected
I’m an international student and a Black queer trans enby living in the south with my queer trans genderfluid wife. Thanks to COVID-19, we have been steadily falling behind on bills since April. As of today (8.27.20) we have several overdue and upcoming bills, totaling about $1330*, which we cannot afford to pay. As a foreigner, I’m not allowed to work, while my wife is making less than minimum wage as a delivery driver (independent contractor). Our car, which my wife needs to work, is also having brake trouble. My wife has attempted to get an advance on what
little e made this week, but due to COVID the organization e works for no longer does cash payouts. We have also gotten in touch with multiple mutual aid organizations to no avail, and at this point we are unfortunately desperate.
We have put off publicly asking for help as long as we could. My wife has worked erself ragged to make ends meet for the past several months, and it is now taking a toll on er mental health (we both suffer from severe depression/anxiety as it is). It is getting harder and harder for either of us to do what we need to survive during these trying times. Please. If you are able to contribute to our fund, we would greatly appreciate it.
*We decided to make the goal higher than what we immediately need in order to hopefully offset Gofundme’s fees, as well as hopefully help offset our inevitable struggle to pay future bills for the next month or two.
