Hi everyone, I'm Aniya (they/she). I'm a Black, Trans (TMA), neurodivergent survivor trying to stay housed after being houseless many times. I escaped a DV living situation a few months ago. My abuser has been stalking me, and I'm in the process of court proceedings to get an order of protection against him. I've had to stay anonymous because he's constantly looking for me online.  My grandmother offered for me to stay with her because she needs support (she can't do much for herself anymore), but her son has been increasingly transphobic and emotionally abusive towards me. I’m concerned that the violence will continue to escalate, but I have nowhere else to go. I don't want to be houseless again. I'm also being penalized by my previous landlord for damages to the apartment I didn't cause. They are holding me liable for the damages my abusive ex caused to the property because we were both on the lease. This is sabotaging my ability to get a new place. 

I need money to clear my debt and secure safe housing. My previous landlord is asking for $1700 and I need at least $3300 to food, transportation, and to move into a place of my own . These last few years have been so hard so anything you can give is so much appreciated. Thank you.
