My name is Eli, and I am an activist who has always strived to make a difference in my communities.

Earlier this year, I found myself in an incredibly difficult situation, where I had to leave behind the life I'd known, in order to escape domestic violence.

Since then, I've been working hard to rebuild my life and continue my activism, but I have no family to turn to for support. I had been relying on financial aid from my college to help me stay secure, but unfortunately, it did not go through this semester due to FAFSA cuts. Now, I am facing the very real possibility of becoming unhoused again in just two weeks, with nowhere to go.

This fundraiser is my last hope to find stability and safety. The funds I raise will go directly toward securing new, immediate housing, so I can have a safe place to stay while I work to get back on my feet. Having a more stable home will allow me to continue my activism and keep helping others, even as I navigate these personal challenges. Your support will make a world of difference for me during this critical time.

If you are able to help, I would be deeply grateful for any support you can give. Your kindness will not only help me find security, but will also empower me to continue my work as an activist and to keep giving back to the community. Thank you for reading my story and considering a donation.

Update as of 01/19/2025:

Hi , thanks to everyone, I was able to secure a temporary housing arrangement. I truly appreciate all of the support. However, I still need your help with funding for extra supplies, such as winter clothing and household items. If you could please continue to share and donate, that would mean a lot. Thanks again!
