Help Kirk cover their moving costs

Hello, I am simultaneously excited and deeply heartbroken to announce that I will be moving from New York back to Colorado at the end of May. The reasons for this decision are many, mostly personal and some financial. Over the last year, I have had a lot of financial troubles. I was working a job in extremely unsafe conditions under an abusive boss. I was luckily able to escape that job but had nothing else lined up and very quickly depleted all of my savings as well as took on some credit card debt. I come from a low-income family and payed for college myself so my financial support networks are extremely limited, this is why I am starting a Go Fund Me. Moving costs are extremely expensive and I have decided that the best option for me is to buy a cheap van and use that vehicle to move. This van will also be the vehicle I use for work in Colorado and will be a mobile living solution for me moving forward. I am raising funds to buffer the initial cost of the van, any excess funds will help me pay off credit card debt. I have deeply valued the time I have spent in New York and have been extremely lucky to find community and friends that I consider family. I am humbly asking you to chip in a little, whatever you can. I love you all so much and appreciate you. I hope to keep in touch with all of my friends and visit often, and hopefully return to the city more permanantly sometime. Thanks for your generosity.

Love,

Kirk

UPDATE: The vehicle I bought broke down after a week and the repair is expensive. I am updating the goal of this fundraiser to better reflect the new cost. Anything you can give helps. Thank you.
