First, I appreciate you taking the time to read this and consider offering some assistance. It took alot for me to ask for help. But this is a not just a request for financial aid but for a life line.

Since the top of 2020 majority of my income has come from driving for Lyft and Uber. In ‘23 it became clear to me that I needed to lower my expenses and a family member allowed me to live with them to help me get back on track financially. In the two years since, I have unfortunately fallen behind and a few weeks ago my car was repossessed. This has caused me to now be in a position where I have no means to generate income for myself in the immediate future. Now that I’m sitting still, while simultaneously applying for jobs, sprucing up my linkedin profile etc, I felt this was an opportunity to try a different approach to life. As opposed to my previous attempt to just work, work, work myself to the bone and hope for the best, this time around I thought I’d have the courage to ask for help.

In the past few years my mental health has taken a significant dip. Where it used to be sporadic episodes of overwhelm it has turned to debilitating, chronic anxious depressive symptoms. Dealing with both depression and anxiety has made it difficult to sustain full-time, at times even part-time work.

Currently, while attempting to figure out the best means to provide for myself, my priority is health in all aspects of life. I feel right now it best for me to reassess and evaluate. I understand the responsibilities I have as an adult but also want to maintain some sort of mental, physical, emotional, spiritual regulation. I have not been well for some time but I do continue to have hope that I can find myself in alignment for whats best for me.

The amount I’m asking for is to aide in medication, small monthly bills, and a few emergencies for at least four months. Hopefully the full goal is reached to help me float until a more longterm sustainable situation is discovered.

I understand that everyone is not in a position to contribute to my financial aid at this time. That said, if you would still like to help, I would welcome your support in the below areas: 

* Sharing this link with anyone you feel may be receptive to it.


* Sharing with me any useful resources you may be aware of such as LGBT+ friendly employment and housing opportunities and/or LGBT+ focused financial assistance
