Help me cover my moving costs & credit card bills
Donation protected
Hi, i'm mel. i am a 26 year old afrolatino trans man. i got laid off december of 2022. i was eligible for unemployment, but could not receive it because the unemployment office never got back to me (texas is awesome). even after multiple calls. i used up all my savings, maxed out my credit card, and have been relying on friends to pay my rent and other bills.
i have held 3 jobs between then and now ( july 1st). i lost the first two due to very poor mental health. i have struggled with suicidal attempts since i was a teen, and unfortunately i am still stuggling now. trying to live on my own isn't easy for me, and dealing with loneliness on top of bills, dysphoria, and living in a sh*thole state is even worse.
i am trying my hardest to stick with my current job, but i am still not very mentally stable. i also don't get my first paycheck until the 15th. so i currently cannot afford groceries.
hopefully i will be able to reach a point where i have enough money saved to get out of texas and move to a state with better social services
i appreciate any help, whether is be sharing this link around or donations.
thank you.
