Help a homeless Seattle transgirl!
Donation protected
My situation -
My name is Rumi Miskovic and I am a 20 year old transgirl that, over a week ago, was evicted from my home in Kirkland after my parent found out that I am on a hormone therapy regimine.
Things were going smoothly for me for the past couple of months prior to getting kicked out; Anti-depressants have enabled me to make a full recovery from major depression and were helping with gender dysphoria too, I was starting hormone therapy, and was finally starting to seek independence from my religious parent so that I could transition in peace. I was told to pack my stuff and leave not long after. With only $11 in my bank, a laptop, phone, wallet, orca card with ~$30, and a few extra sets of clothes, I hastily set off to Seattle in search of food and shelter.
For the first week I was moving from place to place in order to find food, shower, and a bed or couch to sleep on for a night or two. After contacting several people, I managed to find someone that agreed with letting me sleep on the floor in their mini studio for up to a month.
Here's how I am doing as of writing this.
- I am awaiting a notice on my food stamps (known as SNAPs here). Until then, kitchens at shelters are my only option for food. They only serve on certain days and times. I can get to one either via bus or by walking (the closest one is ~20 minutes on foot)
- I have used up all of the money on my orca card.
- I have several places and job interviews that I need to go next week, but need orca card money in order to do that.
- I am still looking for full time work. My resume has been sent to several places. I don't have previous employment experience or a degree so I'm looking for work at or near Seattle's minimum wage.
- Friend is letting me stay at her place for up to a month, however there will be some days where I won't be able to sleep there.
How can you help me?
Every money donation made will help me out in various ways!
- Contribute to my health and hygiene
- Help me get off the streets and into a cozy home!
- Help me with transitioning! I lack female clothes and it would greatly help!
It's not just money donations that I am looking for. Here are other ways in which you can help me!
- Know of a job opening? Have a job offer for me? Help me out with my job search!
- Accepting clothing and food donations!
- Have a spare bed or couch? Provide me with shelter until I can afford to rent a place!
- Looking for a roommate or have a room you want to rent out? Let me know, and I'll get back to you once I am able rent properly!
