Stabilize a trans caregivers housing needs after eviction

Hey everyone! Its Sabrious with a big ask for support through this summer: This ol' girl needs some help to keep from spinning out in multiple low-key personal crisis in the next few months & I'm begrudgingly throwing this out there- she's done her unlevel best to navigate through resources and support programs out here, but I've hit to many snags lately to keep holding it together on my own after a handful of poorly timed let downs on that end

I recently was evicted from the studio I've been regrounding my life in over the last 2 years- after waiting for a "fully approved" 6month rent support that never arrived- and am at the moment balancing that instability through a handful of friends in portland supporting me at their spots, something I can keep up with a few for the next few months while moving toward next steps for restablizing in my resources, as well as navigating the ability to move out from the portland area before this next winter.

With the support and access to care as it is in my life now, I've been able to function-cycle my madness dysfunction issues enough to maintain working part time as a CNA caregiver, and am capable of making enough for my monthly bills, food, & other personal needs month to month, but have been increasingly struggling to maintain consistent non-hospital setting clients on a weekly basis with the agency I'm currently temping through.

Along with not having made enough each month for rent at my previous "low-income" studio since January, its been straining my ability to keep up with things like; long over-due vehicle repair for the astro van I'm now partially living out of, legal fees the scumlords lawyer struck me with after losing the eviction case, paying the fee's to renew my NOLs wilderness first responder training, saving up rent for moving into intentionally shared housing (that's not just the next lowest rent group house that opens up in my orbit!), and having my paycheck garnished since May for the fine Oregon collecting on my suspended license charges- something that will be paid off by the end of the summer but am really feeling the pressure of at this moment!

Right now a major aspect of what I'm asking for help around beyond month to month housing support is having the funds to both repair the astro van & pay the SR-22 insurance cost needed to maintain an active driving license after suspension, as well as getting my CNA certificate endorsed in Washington, with the long-term goal of traveling between cities & through rural queer areas in the PNW area with stable rig, establishing a larger hospice/EOL care support range specifically for folks who require trans community support in an increasingly hostile and unstable reality.

As a lot of you know, even without housing issues flaring up in my life recently It's been a real struggle around my madness needs to center my death doula training and EOL care skills into a livable reality I can do active work within, but with the last year & 1/2 of caregiving I have had a solid handful of grounding 'lights on the runway' experiences that make it clear I am can actually make this happen while pursuing larger structural support from workforce, homeforward & a caseworker. With that in mind I know that getting through this destabilizing moment is also a chance to push through many of the previous barriers that have been making it harder to move into next steps than its had to be- any boosting or funds support you can offer in maintaining the logistical ends of my ability to move on that goal is deeply appreciated!!

Thank you so much for reading through and spreading this however youre able to <33
