Hey everyone. It’s Toni. A lot of the people seeing this might already know who I am and what my situation is; to everyone else I’ll explain it here.

I’m a twenty-one year old queer transman who currently lives on the border between Jensen Beach and Port Saint Lucie in South Florida, and I have for about two years. Before that, I lived in Delray Beach for eleven years. Before that, I moved around about every month for three.

My adolescent life was a constant blur of family fights, financial struggles and eviction notices before I settled into Delray with my mother, and eventually before I moved into PSL with her come January of 2024. At first it was a breeze, with me working consistently at my part time job at MINISO USA at the Treasure Coast mall, where I met all the people I know and love today, as well as making my art and playing with my two cats Season and Winter ( a lot of you guys know them from the pictures I post online. )

But, eventually, my mom, who was the sole supporter of the mortgage, lost her job. My hours have been cut. Emotional strain between my mom and I have caused lots of tension and our relationship isn’t the healthiest. I can’t drive. I haven’t had a menstrual cycle in one year, as a complication from possible hypothyroidism that I can’t get properly diagnosed due to a lack of healthcare, and I can’t take care of myself properly due to a LONG running diagnosis of Schizoaffective Bipolar Disorder, a diagnosis in which I was categorized with when I was 17, and one I’ve been hospitalized twice for.

However things are starting to look up. Come July, I’ll be moving out with some friends into rented house split between four people including myself. But I really need help.

All of my money ( and I mean all of it ) currently goes towards bills to keep the power and water on as well as some groceries. To help me move, and to help with anything honestly, I’m just looking for support from whoever sees this to put into my savings account to squirrel away until I can get out and get into the house in July. It’ll be six months from now. Thanks. I hope this wasn’t too wordy.
