Hi FOLKS, 

I wanted to share an update of my situation. If you're not familiar with my story, I dealt with a lot of bad things in Washington D.C and NYC's shelter  system. I dealt with a lot of transphobia and other kinds of abuse. You can read more about me below and in the updates. In any event,I was able to get out of New York...but I'm still homeless. Someone has let me stay on their couch for a little but I really need housing. Can you help me?  I'm hoping to get two years of living expenses...and im still looking for a steady source of income...can you please help me? Thank you....


Hello Friends,

I hope this message reaches you well. I have some bad news. I need to leave New York. It's not safe for me here. I was assaulted and drugged and other bad things happened to me here. I came here to chase my dreams and things went left. I'm not giving up though. I'm never going to give up. I have so much to share with the world and given the opp. I could really fly.

So here's my plan.... I'm going to move to LA. I don't know if it'll be any safer but I know I gotta get out of New York. New York isnt safe for me. I don't feel safe here. I'm scared all the time...all the time. I struggle to find food. There's never enough food..I have to hit up people on the internet to get food. The people at my shelter are mean as hell. They call me names...they deny me services...they treat me poorly. I was also assaulted at the shelter. It's really been hell. I can't tell you how bad its been. I've been blessed...really...but I've also faced a lot of injustice. My transition is a blessing. I'm so happy to finally live life as i truly am. I'm not hiding myself anymore...i feel so, so blessed...but things have been really, really bad for me here...

So here goes...I need to move to LA...I'm hoping there I'll be able to start a new life. I'm praying that I won't deal with stalking there and I won't be afraid to be myself. God willing. I want to pursue a career in entertainment. I want to be on the radio...if you know anything about me, I love to learn...and i love to share what i learn with people..the radio is an opp. to become a public educator and to transform the hearts and minds of thousands of people. I want to sing too...my voice is coming along...and i think my mind and my voice can be a real force for good...for millions of people...if given the chance...and the support....i can do it...I just need the startup money.


So I'm reaching out to you for help to get me set up in LA. I'm also hoping that in LA I'll be able to get top surgey (i really need breast) and I'm hoping to get laser hair removal (im trying to move forward with my transition). My transition is one of the most important things in the world to me...and I really, really want to keep pushing forward. My body is an instrument. My soul is a song...and I want to share my music with the world. I have so much music in me.

I'm hoping for about a year of runway so that I can have some space to make a career move and to secure a steady source of income. I'm going to need some time to get my health right before I can get a side gig (I have some issues with my legs). I also need to do some healing from my time in new york..

This is a whole lot..I'm really hoping someone reads this and understands the tight spot I'm in...please help.

this is n't my most persuasive piece of writing..but its honest..and i hope it can inspire somebody out there to help me.
