Hi everyone, I'm raising money to help Shirley (also known as smf0600) cover the cost of an upcoming move. She's unfortunately currently in an unpleasant living situation and needs to find a new living situation as soon as possible - time is of the essence here!

Shirley has had a very challenging life. As a young woman, she survived a brutal assault, which has left her with lifelong trauma. It's very important to her that she live in a safe environment. Sadly, due to her living situation, she's not able to have a pet to help see her through these hard times, though she adores both cats and dogs.

She needs $800 to cover moving expenses, things like a truck or movers, deposits, and other costs that come with relocating. Every dollar helps her get somewhere safe and stable.

If you're able to give even a small amount, it would make a real difference. And if you don't have money to spare but know of something that could help, please reach out and share this fundraiser - this helps more than you might imagine!

Shirley is also looking for shared housing in Chicago or the south suburbs. She's hoping for a private room (a shared bathroom is fine) and ideally, just one roommate. If you know of a room or living situation that might work, please comment or message directly. Thank you so much for your support, whether that's a donation, a share, or a lead on housing.

Thank you all, so much.
