My name is Alastair Stevens-Nechipor, and I've grown up in Chicago my entire life! I am 20 years old, use any/all pronouns, and have autism and ADHD. I've spent most of my life trying to give back to the community through volunteer work at soup kitchens and park districts, protests, activism, and working as a paraprofessional for students with special needs.

I'm not used to asking for help, but I am currently at risk of becoming homeless within months. I've been in between jobs since I was fired from CPS due to budget cuts and I desperately need money to pay my rent and feed myself. I've tried both unemployment and EBT, but both avenues have failed me. So now I'm looking for the help of the same community that has helped to mold me and that I've tried to give back to all these years.
