Nonbinary Black Creative Emergency Moving Fund!!!

watch the campaign video 

hey friends! so glad you made it here! i'm gonna make this short and sweet so as not to get repetitive from the video, but here goes.

i have been living in my car since the quarantine started. it has not been fun, to say the least.

since then, i've been doing a lot of healing and learning from my situation, and now i feel fully equipped to get my life going again.

i am a filmmaker, artist, and entrepreneur who wants to start making their own living, but obviously i can't do all of that from my car (i've tried). so i basically just need a leg up so that once i do get a job, i'll have money to put a deposit down on a place.

i asked for $10,000 initially because the cost of living in LA is expensive, and my credit is really bad right now, so i probably would have to put down a few months rent in advance to secure it. but the $6,000 that i've raised since i started the fundraiser has gone towards food and temporary housing like hotels, airbnbs, etc. because i get the money as the donations come, not as one big lump sum. so i'm still broke as of right now! living is expensive apparently!

so the remaining $4,000+ is going towards a security deposit for a place, and a down payment for a new car, as i share the one that i'm living in with my mom, which can make things difficult.

so if you want to see a black creative thrive and finally gain her financial independence, here's your chance! i really appreciate your support in advance!!! <3
