Help Two Spirit Youth Recover and Avoid Eviction
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Cedar, I am a Metis/Cree 2spirit 20 year old. I recently underwent a lot of emotional stress, including the death of my partner of 4 years, deaths of relatives, and taking steps to leave my abusive family. In this time I've been struggling with cPTSD symptoms and grief, and I've been struggling to maintain my living situation as now I am basically completely alone and have little outside support especially after losing my partner. I have struggled continuing with my work, as I work closely with the public and in this time of emotional stress it has become too difficult to maintain this position. I have fallen behind on bills, and have struggled to pay for my living needs like food and hygiene products due to the amount of work I missed. I am in the process of applying for stress leave, but my income will be significantly reduced once I start receiving these benefits and will only just cover my cost of living.
The money I receive from this fundraiser will go toward overdue bills as well as cover necessities during this transition period of income.
here is a breakdown of costs:
outstanding and upcoming bills: $300
groceries for the next 3-4 weeks: $200
pet supplies for my cat: $50
hygiene supplies (menstrual products, deodorant, toothpaste, soap, I'm out or almost out of all of these): $50
backup money to cover next months costs just in case my first leave of absence payment isn't enough: $300
I have photos of my outstanding and upcoming bills as the cover, as I need to remain as anonymous as possible to avoid my abusive family.
Thank you so much for your time + support. Every donation helps me so very much and I am incredibly grateful. Please share with anyone you know want to help support this cause. Maarsii + ay hiy
