I’m asking for help after becoming homeless following an eviction and losing my job because my disabilities have worsened. I have lost all sources of income, and I have not been able to find another job because of my disability. I currently live in a homeless shelter, so my housing is taken care of for now, but outside of that I have no financial support or safety net. Right now, I am struggling to meet even the most basic daily needs, and I need support this week.

Day to day, this means I cannot afford food, water, medication, or subway fare for transportation. I also have an overdue phone bill that is now $599, and without phone service, I am struggling to stay in contact with my medical providers/homeless shelter caseworkers.

Additionally, my homeless shelter does not allow me to store many of my belongings on-site, so I have to pay $120 a month for a storage unit. My storage unit bill is currently overdue, and I need help paying it so I do not lose my personal belongings. As we approach winter and the weather gets cooler in NYC, I also do not have specific winter clothes and urgently need funds to secure proper winter clothing. Not being able to communicate with the people involved in my care and support, along with the stress of losing my belongings, has made an already difficult situation even harder to manage.

Funds will be used for:

Food, water, and essential daily needs

Subway fare / transportation

Medication

Restoring phone service ($599 past-due balance)

Storage unit rent ($120/ $281.69 month past-due balance)

Winter clothing

Having steady support would help me keep up with these ongoing basics as I work to get through this period of homelessness and lost income.

If you can give or share this fundraiser, thank you so much. Your support would help me cover essential daily needs, restore communication with the people helping me, secure winter clothing, pay for storage, and get through this week with a little more stability. I do not take the help for granted...if you've watched my youtube videos or know me in real life...you know I'd rather be dead than ask...but I'm trying not to die just yet... I appreciate absolutely anything and everything even if all you can do is just share this link. <3
