Vanlife For A Black Trans Artist

I'm Huntrezz, A Black, trans-feminine Womxn/Non-binary 3D graphics Artist and Arts Teacher who has been trying to find a place to live in my hometown /birthplace of Los Angeles.

I have struggled for awhile here, but I have survived this long taking sublets and finding other short term solutions for housing, sometimes not in the best situations. living in a closet, putting all my belongings in a public storage unit etc. Last year I even built my own tiny house! That's where I stay now, but its on land that doesn't belong to me... which is actually now for sale (at a price I wayyy cannot afford lol) and I need to move out. So I've been trying to save up to buy a cargo van to convert into a camper van so I can live in that!

Its also my 24th birthday on Aug 1st, and I normally don't even ask for gifts, let alone reaching out to the community for help in this kind of way- but this is something that I really have been dreaming about for a while and is out of my reach even after many months of saving up. It would really transform my life, since my housing - (especially in the long term) is something that I am often worried about.

I made a face filter on my instagram @huntrezz for the promotion of this too! Its called EVANGELION  haha because I love Neon Genesis! Also its a quadruple pun: E as in internet, Van because I'm trying to buy a van, angel since ya'll helping me out really are angels to me- and lion because I'm a Leo and its my birthday fundraiser :P

Thanks so much to all who support me in this endeavor! I really appreciate you. Every bit helps, really.
