Lily is a trans member of the journalist team WhattheTrans and is a student from the University For the Creative Arts. Throughout her studies she has been producing live reporting for the trans community at protests, prides and other events, including cold nights, and long days, all while being a student. She is currently facing homelessness after her student accommodation ran out. Her university has offered help with finding places but the fundamental issue stopping her from securing housing is finances, her PIP was cut which provided vital support and survival for her and would have enabled her to find a new place in time, on top of this she is estranged from family and is trying to stay in the area of her university for her studies through sofa surfing until she is able to get a place throughout the summer and the last year of her studies. The average per calendar month rate for where she is based is around 500 a month, she has been searching for a job, and has received an initial donation from what the trans in order to be able to look for a place now and is asking for any donations to help with securing housing costs and save her from homelessness until her student finance for the next year comes in.
