my job laid me off, and i have no way to cover my bills

my job laid me off with an email on my day off, 2 days before rent is due, after getting zero hours in the current pay period.

I have $30 to my name, no income coming in, and a mountain of expenses I don't know how I'm going to cover.

My name's Heather Hedger.

I am a 32 year old transgender woman living in Buffalo, New York.

I am in such dire straights that I haven't had a bank account for nearly 2 years.

I have worked in the service industry for 14 years.

I am a lifelong musician and creative.

and finally, I have a really hard time asking people for help.

If there's anything you can send my way to help out while I'm hunting for jobs this month, please do, every little bit helps.

Any amount of funding I reach over my goal will go to covering the mountain of credit card debt i have, dental work i haven't been able to afford despite needing it for years, and putting towards opening a checking account.

I love all of you, and I hope that with your support I will be able to get back to my feet quickly with minimal struggle.
