I'm Noah, a transgender man living in Albuquerque. I work retail, have two cats and two dogs, am almost entirely estranged from my family, and I'm facing eviction in a week or so.

An unexpected bill in November left me unable to pay my December rent on time, and by the time I had the money for December, January was due was well and I wasn't able to pay both, and now I can't catch up.

I'm looking at an eviction hearing on the 28th, which happens to be my birthday. Depressing way to turn 40, huh?

By my math, I may be able to get everything squared away and get back on my feet if I can get 2k by my birthday and pay off what I owe.
