Hello, my name is Sophia Contrarez. I am a 29-year-old Mexican/Puerto Rican trans woman living in the DMV.

I lost my job in the spring and have had no luck in finding a new means of employment since, and I need help in order to pay my rent that is due on the 1st of August.

I was surprised to find out that the amount owed this month was more than I anticipated and am struggling to raise funds before the first on my own. I'm expected to pay $670 by the first, the rest of the money raised will go to covering fees. Any amount of support would be greatly appreciated!
