URGENT: LOSING HOUSING

i'm losing access to my housing on the 29th of may, and i'm trying to gather funds to make it over to my friend in portland that has a place for me to stay.

i've got my plane ticket for the 5th of june, i need to secure funds for the storage container payment for the month by the 29th, and i need to have enough to take an uber from the airport to my friend's as soon as possible.

the storage container is 150 dollars, and the uber can range from 40-60 dollars. that needs to be secured as soon as possible.

the most direct way to help me with that is through my p@yp@l and vnmo, both are linked, and $chxseallen. gofundme takes a percentage and is a slower disbursement.

i also need to cover costs of living while i'm still working on getting a job and place, for things like food, transit, medication and appointment co-pays, and other general essentials. the gofundme to assist in that is below:

please share if you can, that would help a lot.

Terrified to post about my job on here bc tumblr's complete lack of critical thinking skills will declare me as Problematic™️ for defending parents from CPS aka "joining the war on pedophiles on the side of pedophiles" HOWEVER I am going to say some things that are Controversial Yet Brave

Everyone is deserving of legal representation

It is my job to fight for my clients no matter how offensive their views or how much they suck

This is a GOOD THING because it means that YOU will get zealous representation even if your PD hates you

No matter how hard I try I will never get a child returned home to their pedophile father i'm not a fucking wizard

Do you know how hard it is to get a registered sex offender into housing that will let HIS children live with him but not any other children he's not allowed to be around????

This is, by the way, BAD.

Housing should be a human right

All humans

Yes, including people you personally believe are Bad

Perhaps this structure you have created in your head founded on the sheer hubris of you believing you personally are the true arbiter of moral purity and who deserves to be in society is what has contributed to mass incarceration in the first place?????

Fighting for the rights of the most unsympathetic people is how we guarantee rights for everyone

I guess this amounts to an panic attack but I seriously want to kill myself. I'm almost positive my lease is going to be terminated. The house is trashed. I have no way of fixing the chewed carpet or cleaning effectively because I have a year's worth of urine soaked laundry everywhere. I've spent so much money, been scammed over and over and I still can't do a fucking load of laundry. The washing machine pours water out of the bottom and the dryer doesn't spin.

I will never get someone else to rent to me. I won't be able to gather enough for a new place. I can't get enough to pay rent now even though this month is practically over. I'll have to surrender all my pets to shelters.

I cannot access any resources. I've languished on waiting lists and done all the applications and services promised never come.

People try to be helpful with information about eviction but it's like I'm drowning and they're describing the fucking water. They don't understand if I lose my housing again I will kill myself. There will be absolutely no reason to keep living.

The elevator in my ADA “accessible” building is broken. It has been for days. No word on when it’ll be fixed.

The fire alarms just went off, briefly, then stopped. There is no evacuation plan. Today is a bad pain day, it’s raining and I had to go grocery shopping (including going up and down some steps) with my in home care worker earlier. I could maybe get to and down the stairs by myself. Maybe. I don’t know if I could get my partner’s cat out with me (I would do my damn best though).

I have neighbors who also are wheelchair users, some who are in heavy powerchairs who live on the upper floors. Me and those neighbors haven’t spoken much outside of basic pleasantries by the mailboxes over the years— I think we’re all housebound. We are effectively strangers but we have shared cries for help. I know their screams and they know mine. Intimate terror.

The alarms have stopped and as of right now I am safe. My neighbors are safe.

I’m focusing on trying to catch my breath and lower my heart rate back to a safe range. I can’t stress enough how traumatic it is to be disabled in an inaccessible world.

It's true, we shouldn't tolerate violence. Allowing people to suffer and die for the sake of profits is unacceptable and should never be tolerated.

Please help us afford to leave this pest ridden Airbnb and find emergency short term hotels or housing. I don't have a goal in mind yet, but we'll need at least $2,500 to afford a month long stay. We leave on September 16th.

Please don’t send me DMs asking for donations

I feel bad that I have to turn down messages that are asking for help from Gaza, especially if it’s a vetted campaign that is legit. But I literally don’t have any food in my fridge, I haven’t eaten more than some canned chickpeas in over two days, I really cannot help. I live below the poverty line, so please, don’t send me requests for money. If you would like me to reblog a post for a legit and vetted fundraiser, I’m more than willing to do that. But I can’t even find a food bank that has the capacity to help me, so I most definitely don’t have the ability to donate to every online request I get. I’m sorry, but I’ve lived in poverty my whole life, I really am not the person that is able to help anyone monetarily. Any other way, yes, but donations unfortunately I am not able to do.

I've been decluttering in waves since ages ago, but things find their way into my home.

I've gotten rid of so many pagan things.

Tarot decks, books, supplies, etc. It's mind boggling how fast one can accumulate things!

I'm trying to be more mindful now.

I want everything to fit comfortably in my little travel altar, safe and sound.

I'm in the emergency process of moving and while I'm be moving in with someone(a non-pagan, so I'm wary about having stuff out and about).

I'm still scared of going homeless(I came really close to it obly a few months ago), so aside from larger goods like a chair and my TV, I have a plan. I need everything of value to me to fit in my car. That will always be a place for me. I need to sell off the rest ASAP.

I like Marie Kondo's Shinto based practices around decluttering and tidying up. Surprisingly, a huge number of decluttering sources all cite Christianity in some form or another(the cause of my near-homelessness is a "god-fearing Christian" that I never did anything wrong to, at least that I know of, just sayin). But the philosophy of minimalism goes waaaaay back before even Christianity.

I don't know much about Shintoism as a practice, but perhaps I should study it a bit more for a wider view.

So the situation with my housing has gone from bad to worse.

I’ve realized fully the people I’m living with are not only ableist and transphobic but one of them is also verbally abusive and emotionally manipulative. She has repeatedly forced me into agreeing to things I’m not fully comfortable with regarding my feelings of saftey at the expense of my mental (and physical) health and when I tried to set a boundary I’ve been fully turned on. I can’t move out at this time as it would mean dropping out of school, but I can be proactive and make sure I have my rent money in case they make a move to kick me out which I don’t think is unlikely. I’m working now, but I likely won’t see my first check for some time and it’s causing me to feel even more anxious about the whole thing.

I’m basically as desperate as it gets to feel at least a little safe in my situation and feeling like I have just a little bit of a card to play.

I have been experiencing housing insecurity since July, and I may find myself with nowhere to go soon. I have been homeless before and would not like to be again.

I have had commissions open for a while, so if you would like a custom piece in my style, hit me up! Theyre great for gifts for loved ones, friends, or whoever for the holidays!

If I weren't so sick I'd be freaking out about how I'll pay rent but all I care about is getting a coke. I've been nauseated and you knowing all weekend. Why is everything so hard, and scary, and miserable. I don't think I have anything left. I want to cared for and instead I'm so painfully alone. There's nothing dependable in my life. I'm so fearful of the next awful thing that I'd rather be dead than weight to see.
