Help a Transwoman Overcome Houselessness
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Saya, though I also go by Zoya and Sapphire (you may know me by those names). I am a brown transwoman who is currently houseless due to an unaccepting environment at home. I am working everyday on delivery apps, however, I have absolutely zero savings due to my living situation before also being one of poverty. Despite living in chronic poverty, I have never felt it was right for me to ask of others, but this is a dire situation, as I also have a child overseas to send money to who depends on me. My main source of income is my car, which is currently in very poor condition as it is very old and has been through the trenches, but I have immediate debts to pay as well. I want to first pay off the debts and the car expenses before building up savings in order to afford a more stable living situation.
I have been an active part of queer communities that are centered around religion and spirituality, previously working as a scholar in the Muslim community and now as a practicing Buddhist. If I have ever helped you out in spiritual matters or have been someone you could say was a good spiritual friend for you, I humbly ask that you help me out in this dire situation, even if with just a little. Anything helps, really.
Thank you so much for your help, and may you be happy, and may you and all sentient beings be liberated!
