Help an Indigenous lesbian secure safe housing
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Emily and I am an indigenous (Oklahoma Chahta) lesbian currently living in the Minneapolis area. My long-term domestic partnership of almost eight years, which I had moved across the country for, has just ended. I am making this to ask for help starting my life over in a new state. I have been on my own for the last eight years because I was kicked out by my parents for being a lesbian. I have no outside financial help to fall back on because of this. This is the first time I have had to crowdfund, but after getting hit with car troubles and other huge expenses, I have made the decision to ask for help. I have been trying to save as much as I can from my full-time job, but with my car payments and owing extra taxes to the IRS for my previous self-employment, it has been a struggle. With this fundraiser, I am looking to raise enough money to move across the country and secure an apartment. Any help is greatly appreciated and will help immensely with both improving my mental health and getting my life back on track. Thank you!
