Hello, friends. It's your girl Violet Grace. ️‍On July 9th, I had to quit my job as a breakfast cook due to an unresolved issue with inappropriate touch at work. My managers completely ignored my cries for help, and I am unable to continue working in an unsafe environment. I have filed a police report, contacted three lawyers, and left messages with corporate HR and security at the hotel chain I work for, but I feel very much unheard.

As a trans woman in a small town, my options for employment are limited, but I have applied for several positions this week and I am hopeful. However I have been using a credit card to get by, and I my bank account is empty. I have food till I get my last check from work.

I am strong, and I will fight, but I could really use a leg up right now.

Like everyone, I have bills to pay. I have prescriptions that need filling this week. I am stocked on dry and canned goods, but may need to purchase toiletries, gas etc. Not to mention feeding my three pets.

Any money I receive that I do not spend during this crisis, I promise to donate back to LGBTQ+ and harassment awareness charities. When I am back on my feet I will make an additional donation in my name for the money you generously give now. Thank you, my loves. Have a blessed day.
