Help Black Queer with Financial Setbacks

Donation protected
Hi everyone!

So a few months ago I encountered some major financial roadblocks after being let go from my job due to Covid19. Losing my job didn't only hinder my ability to pay for financial responsibilities and it’s also put my immigration status in jeopardy as I'm a temporary resident. Despite the year already putting some heavy strain on my mental health as I’m sure it has been for a lot of people, I’m putting my pride aside again to reach out and asking for help as I’m at my breaking point and have run out of immediate contingencies.

A few months ago i made a gofundme and have received so much swift help and i couldn’t express how grateful i was by everyone’s kindness. And due to do that,I was able to cover my basic needs till I found short term contracts with placement agencies in the early winter. All of those contracts, however, ended abruptly as companies continue to let go of staff and stopped hiring due to increased restrictions with the lockdown.

Due to this, I've lost my most recent job in January which was a short term contract meant to end in April. I'm now jobless, with no funds, and unable to pay rent or support myself as I look for another job.

I'm humbly reaching out to ask community to help me through this mentally and financially challenging time through donating or sharing with your network. I'm planning to use the funds raised to cover my rent, groceries and basic expenses for the next two months while I attempt to find another job and get back to supporting myself amidst the extended restrictions.

Thank you for reading. Please DONATE or SHARE WITH FRIENDS who have resources to donate. Anything you can do to help is greatly appreciated.
