URGENT: Help Oli Gain Some Stability!
Donation protected
I’m starting this gofundme on behalf of my friend Oli, a nonbinary queer immigrant whose family was recently forced to move after being evicted. Oli needs financial support with paying for daily supplies, urgent medical treatments, and immigration/legal fees.
After the eviction, Oli’s family was forced to take out credit to replace their old, roach-infested appliances from their old home. Oli needs funds to be able to pay this off within two years to avoid high interest costs. Oli also needs funds for basic household items and furniture since they were formerly living in a laundry room.
Next is Oli's medical fees. Oli also has to navigate TMJ disorder and is seeking treatment that would require them to get brackets at the back of their jaw to align it. This is best-case scenario. On top of the TMJ treatment, Oli needs help raising the funds for several emergency dental procedures. Finally, Oli has a referral for physical therapy for a joint and muscle disorder that causes them chronic pain and inflammation which impacts their mobility. Treatment would also require Oli to purchase a mattress that is tailored to their physical needs which will be costly.
The most urgent need Oli has is to adjust their immigration status. The cost is at least $3k for a lawyer and $2k for the paperwork. The total immigration cost will be anywhere from $5-$6k.
Their goal for this fundraiser is going to be $17k to alleviate the ongoing costs but any amount of contribution or support is appreciated! Please share widely across all platforms, donate + contribute what you can and ask your friends to do the same.
Breakdown for Oli's fundraiser Goals:
$5k-$6k total for immigration fees
$5-7$k for TMJ + dental procedures
$2k-$4k for muscle/joint treatment + supplies (mattress, orthopedics, etc
