Help keep Trans student housed

Donation protected
Hello beloveds, Derrick Biso here with an ask for you to help me help my friend and their cat keep their housing for the academic year!

Thank you to everyone who donates what they can to this cause and helps support the solution to the urgent situation!! 

Find an updated quote below from my friend about their situation:

"Hii, thank u so much for your help so far, I really need people to share this more and reach further bc it's slowed down so much. I am going to be homeless in February if I do not reach goal and I really want to avoid that because I'm doing so well in school, and housing insecurity and not knowing where my next meal is coming from makes life hard and is so distracting. I also need the healthcare plan that school provides me with. I am not able to work while attending school because of chronic health conditions that take up a lot of time ontop of school, and I am not eligible for student financial aid for this year. I have just gotten out of a traumatic living situation with an abuser and have a place to live, thanks to all of the contributions so far . Thank u again! But now I need help to stay here and the way this campaign has slowed down is making me feel like people don't care anymore because I've gotten out of the traumatic living situation I was in before. But I need the rest of the help too I can't just scrape together the rest or anything because I have no employment, I am paying for school out of pocket with savings I can't spend because I am not eligible for OSAP, I really don't want to have to drop out winter semester because I need to pay for my living costs and it's looking like that might have to happen, as I have nothing to pay rent with after the month of February. I am starting to get anxious again about what I will do, all I want is to be in school and finish this degree I've finally gone back to finish. I'm doing so well in school but my money is running out and what has been raised here will only keep me housed until February. I am a trans person who is a survivor of serial abuse with C-PTSD, depression and chronic pain and other chronic health issues. I know there are more important causes out there but it would mean the world to me and my cat if you would help keep us housed so I can work on my education and take care of my health. Thank you, even the smallest amount and a share matters a lot, please help."

Thank you everyone for donating what you can now and sharing this to help meet the goal!
