I'm Rena. I am a 23 years old trans woman, currently living in someone's living room after a breakup about 8 months ago. Losing support because of being trans has made things even harder. I'm working full-time at a fish shop, but my income just isn't enough to cover everything. I have credit card debt from medical expenses and transportation to my old job.

Recently, I've had intestinal bleeding and need to get a look at my lower intestines, plus a lump in my breast that needs to be checked out because my mom had breast cancer. I haven't been to the dentist in three years and have toothaches I need to address, and I still have to pay for therapy, psychiatry, and medication - some of these bills haven't even come through yet. On top of all this, I have to move very soon due to my roommate's lease ending. The upcoming medical bills, moving costs, and debt are weighing me down and it makes it hard to function day to day. I don't have nearly enough money in any form to deal with all of this.

I've had a hard life growing up in a pretty abusive christofacist family. The past 5 years on my own have been especially tough with long term relationship loss and other traumatic interpersonal experiences. It's hard to feel any optimism for myself. My life as myself has only just begun, and there's so much I need to do and see. I am very stubborn in asking for help, but this is my last resort. I truly need support right now. Anything would mean the world to me and would give me a chance to get back on my feet.
