Keep two poverty-stricken, disabled, trans sisters from homelessness.

I’ve posted about this before but someone recommended that I make a GoFundMe for it. I’ve already said what I want on that GoFundMe page, but to summarize, if we don’t move by February 1st 2020 we’ll both be homeless and we have no way of moving on our own. The goal for the GoFundMe is currently $6750, we could potentially move with less but it’d be risky.
Also, my sister has no income and therefore can’t afford to feed herself. If you would rather donate directly to her so she can eat, you can here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme2/spewkee?locale.x=en_US
Sorry for the radio silence and thank you again to everyone so far who has reblogged or donated. Unfortunately we are still very much in need; the one family member on either side of our family who could conceivably cover a significant portion of our move has not shown any interest in doing so and, to add insult to injury, was talking shit about my sister with a couple other family members at Thanksgiving dinner (they didn’t know her and I were in earshot, but still). Our support network is, to put it mildly, extremely limited. Please, please continue to spread this.
Sorry to reblog again, things are still pretty dicey. My sister’s plans to move to Florida have already fallen through, but the silver lining (and probably the first significantly good news for either of us in the past month) is that some friends of hers in Washington want to put her up, which will ultimately be an easier move since she only has to move one state over instead of going across the whole country,
So things are kind of working out for her thankfully, but I am in a very sore spot. My disability has been so bad that I have not been able to even look into housing opportunities at all for about two months now. I also had to quit my job because of it, my last day is the 19th of this month. I have applied for social security and also have an intake with intensive outpatient treatment, but it is extremely unlikely that either of those will come through in the time that I need them since I have to move in in less than a month now. Honestly I need time and better health care more than I do money right now, but money couldn’t hurt, so please continue to share and/or donate if you can.
There is a week left and neither of us have income now, please help if you can, thank you.
