Hi everybody, I'm Neil! If you are seeing this you are probably my friend online or in real life.

I'm making this fundraiser because I am having a financial hardship right now that I believe will result in being evicted from my home. I am on the path to becoming a full time public school teacher, but "on the path" means working three jobs to try to keep up with the bills and even that is not enough.

If you are at all able to help me with money to quickly relocate to a sublet room and attempt to pay off my rental debt, I would very much appreciate it! If you are not able to help financially, please keep me in mind if anyone you know has a room opening in their apartment in New York, especially within walking distance of a train line (++near LIC or in the city).

Thank you so much for reading and sparing a thought for my situation. I appreciate that a lot!

(PS GFM suggested I add some photos, so I picked a couple of my current students (3rd-5th grade). They stacked cups to the ceiling in one class! The other pic is a recent student of the month award ceremony :) )

How funds will be used: paying rent at current apartment; potential legal fees from eviction; cost of sublet/next housing, including down payment; cost of moving.
