I've raised and secured enough money to make rent!! Thank you so much to everyone that gave your support! I truly and dearly appreciate it! Times are still financially rough, so I'm leaving the GFM open in the case that anyone would still like to donate and help me weather this rough time BUT I'M MAKING RENT, so please only give if you have extra disposable income and want to help a gal out!

Hello everyone,

I won’t bury the lede: I am raising funds for myself to cover my April rent payment, which is urgently needed.

Let me tell you more about myself and where I’m at: I am a 40-something trans woman living alone in Los Angeles and a tech worker who is unemployed but actively looking full-time for work. I have relied on my life savings and mutual aid during this time that I’ve been without work; I still have some savings that I can rely on long-term until I’m fully employed again, but I cannot access those funds in time to make rent. I’m feeling optimistic about finding work soon, so I’m hopeful that this is just a bump in the road with my housing situation.

Please consider donating to help me keep my apartment. I know this is a tough time for a lot of people, so I humbly request that you only donate if you have the means. I practice gratitude regularly in my life, and I will keep your name with me if you contribute. Know also that I am a working woman with a lot of knowledge, experience, a strong conviction on living in my values, and a can-do attitude: your contribution to me will be an investment in a dedicated tech worker with goals and a hopeful vision for the future.
