Hi, my name is Skye, and I’m writing this with my girlfriend Vikki by my side. We are two trans women trying to survive in New York City. Right now, we are homeless, hungry, and struggling—but we are not without hope. We’re determined to get back on our feet, and we’re reaching out for help from anyone who has the heart and means to support us.

We never imagined we’d be in this position. Life as trans women, especially without a stable home or family support, is incredibly hard. Jobs are difficult to find. Housing is near impossible. And sometimes, just finding a warm place to rest or a hot meal to eat becomes the biggest challenge of the day.

But we wake up each morning still fighting—still dreaming of stability, safety, and a future together.

What We Need:

We are asking for $3,000 to help cover:

Temporary housing (even a few nights off the street would mean everything)

Daily food and basic necessities

Transportation for job interviews and social services

Clothing and hygiene supplies

Support with documents and medical care, including access to trans-affirming healthcare

This fundraiser isn’t about just surviving—it’s about giving us a real chance to live. To get jobs, to find an apartment, to have a safe place to sleep, to simply exist without fear or constant exhaustion.

Why Your Help Matters:

There are so many resources that fall short for trans people like us. Shelters can be unsafe or discriminatory. Systems are stacked against us. But your kindness—your support—can cut through that.

Your donation will be life-saving. Every single dollar helps. Even if you can’t give, sharing this page means the world to us.

We’re not just looking for a handout—we’re looking for a hand up. We are ready to rebuild our lives. We just need a little help to get started.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts,

Skye & Vikki
