Hello all, my name is Sienna Guerrero.
I’m an Indigenous Mexican artist who is finding myself in another tough spot. There’s been a lot happening in my life and world. I had a retail job that’s now ghosted me, I have little over a week to pack all my things and find somewhere to go, my EBT wasn’t renewed and I’m trying to get it back on, and I have absolutely no funds at this point in time. So I’ve been unable to take care of myself, car, and most importantly I’m behind on rent. I didn’t pay it this month. We just got a late utility bill as well that is high. I need to pay my roommate back asap so she doesn’t risk eviction since she’s the main name on the lease.
I still don’t know where I’m going, I’m looking for work (I’m a writer, licensed cosmetologist, and have done music journalism in the past,) and looking for 1 bedrooms/large studios to split with a friend when we can and when we have the funds.
On top of all this, one of my roommates is in an abusive relationship and despite multiple times of cops being here and telling them to stop bringing it into the home, it has not stopped. They continue to physically fight and break things, making the environment unsafe. I cannot handle it anymore, nor have I been happy here walking on eggshells.
I feel bad coming on here again, as I had made one over a year ago the escape an another unsafe living situation and was doing my best to avoid it, but I don’t have any other options at this point in time. I truly feel I’ve exhausted everything else. I’m still trying my best to push onward and figure things out however I can. The funds raised will be used for rent, bills, and hopefully so I can find a new spot to go.
Anything helps, even sharing. Thank you.m
Update: 01/01/26
I’m officially homeless and in a lot of debt. My main concerns now are sorting out $800 in parking tickets, finding a safe place, and I have to also come up with money to reregister the car + fees I owe. I feel like I’m in a very deep hole. Between all of that, it’s going to cost over $1k, definitely closer to 2k.
My goal is to sort everything out with my car first and foremost, no matter where I sleep, and after that I’m hoping I can find work or come up with money to apply for visa out of the country so I can move to Australia with my partner who is there. Any guidance, sharing, or donations help. Anything. I’m very scared.
