March 1st, my rent is due and I am unable to pay it.

I’ve spoken with my landlord and negotiated a short grace period, but if I can’t come up with the money soon, I will lose my housing.

I’ve experienced homelessness before. Rebuilding my life took time, discipline, and effort. I’ve worked hard to create stability here, including building out my small studio space where I cook, live, and work. Losing this apartment wouldn’t just mean moving — it would mean losing the foundation I’ve rebuilt.

I currently have:

• No savings

• No steady income

• Immediate rent owed

The total goal of $2,800 covers:

• Past due rent

• Upcoming rent to stabilize the next month

• Basic necessities (food and phone service so I can secure work)

This is not a request for long-term support. This is a bridge.

My focus right now is securing income and preventing a return to homelessness. Having stable housing gives me the ability to apply for jobs, maintain communication, and move forward instead of starting over again.

If you are able to help, even a small amount makes a real difference. If you’re not able to donate, sharing this fundraiser helps more than you know.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support you can give.
