Black Queer Mutual Aid Request

I’m requesting a total of $5,000 to cover the cost of a security deposit/first and last, credit card payments, and medical costs. Funds can be directly sent to my GoFundMe or privately Venmoed @ImaniLeon. If you Venmo me, I will update the total amount raised on my GoFundMe page for transparency.

I'm raising funds to cover housing needs and debts incurred from an extended period of unemployment/underemployment as an outcome of experiencing unexpected company layoffs. While I was able to acquire a short-term contract, the stresses of not having financial stability during unemployment made it difficult to save. I've needed to play catch up for rent and acquired debt after being laid off that is still looming over me (and more than likely will be for a bit). I'm once again in between contracts with little in my reserve. Whatever you can give is appreciated!
