Help Jade and Arlo Move to a Safer Home

Donation protected
Hello and thank you for your time!

Jade and Arlo have been living in an unhealthy living situation for several months. We are looking to move early November and we need a little extra moving funds to support our goal.

Arlo has lived in Oregon most of their life and Jade, their partner, moved in with them. We also have a bonded pair of ESA cats, Hazel and Leroy (pictured). Arlo has been studying to be an IT technician since early July 2025 and will have CompTIA A+ certification in the next couple weeks (late Oct/early Nov) and will seek employment after moving. Jade is a local fast food worker with a steady income. As such, we are mostly financially independent, and just need one time support for general wellbeing.

Arlo and Jade are both disabled / being treated for chronic medical issues, Autistic/ADHD, and queer, which makes moving difficult.

The new place we have found would support us by:
  • In unit washer/dryer (easier access for disabilities)
  • Larger kitchen for Jade’s culinary interests
  • Jade and Arlo would have our own bathroom in the new apartment, which would be a benefit for managing disabilities
  • Living costs would be slightly cheaper than current place
  • Safer area to live in (current place is not very safe)
  • New roommate is a very cool person that we both get along with well
  • Better for mental health
  • More space for the cats and gorgeous large windows for them to look out of

Funds from this will go toward:
  • Moving costs (U-Haul, packing tape, any additional boxes we need, etc)
  • Gas for transporting items
  • Household essentials (toilet paper, paper towels, absolutely necessary supplies for one month)
  • We will be paying double rent in November ($1075 for current place, $1000 for new place, anything to offset that will greatly help).

Moving will take basically all of our savings, but it’s important to both of us to feel safe where we live. Thank you for caring about us! Even a small amount helps :)
