Pregnant genderqueer and parent of 1.5 year old and partner counting down to homelessness and sleeping in a car a week before Xmas
Hi everyone. Y'all have seen me struggle for quite a while now, but things are getting better. My financial aid will cover what I owed my previous college, so they are accepting me back into continue my software engineering degree. So hope is on the horizon. However, my partner and the person whose child I am carrying has been told that we have until a week before Christmas to be out of the house. This coincided wonderfully with me being forced to quit my job.
As for the job situation, many of you know that my manager is my ex-girlfriend who holds a grudge unlike any other. She has been working towards my demise for a while now. Her and another manager tried to make me sign a paper stating that I was taking the fall for mistake she and the other manager had made. I told them I would not sign and would not be their scapegoat. They told me where the door was. I told them I was happy and ready to walk out of it. I can get a new serving job in a matter of days, I'm sure, but it's still uncertain enough that I need your help.
Thanks to you guys, we were able to get the vehicle we needed to get both of us to and from work and get my daughter to and from pediatric appointments. However, it set us back and took away every single penny that we had, and with such little time, we have almost no way of making the kind of money we would need to rent a place. I know it's a lot, but I need to collect about $2,000 in order to pay rent, do the application, pay the pet fees, or whatever other bullshit administrative fees they throw towards us.
I know I'm asking for a lot. But I lost my last job after refusing to allow my manager to put his hand up my skirt. So I was forced to come back to the restaurant where my manager was my ex-girlfriend. She created such a hostile work environment that I had no choice but to leave. I am so close to getting back into classes, and I am so close to finishing my degree and providing stability for my family. We are going to be okay, but this is the biggest mountain to climb yet. Soon as we have our own home, we can stabilize. A roof over our heads, and a roof over the head of the child that will be born next year, is more of a comfort and anything else I can begin to understand.
If you're willing to help, here's how.

Thank you all to whoever can help keep my family from living in our car.
