hi hello. my other post stalled and shit is hitting the fan regardless so unfortunately it is time for... this.
im damone dami mona dj whatever you know me as. im a disabled blak bi woman from rural victoria and i just got my ass ejected from an abusive home i was already trying to leave. i could take basically nothing with me but my laptop, cats, documents, and some very basic clothes.
ive talked a little about what i experienced in that house on my blog but basically the long and short of it was the cops knew me by name, id been choked out, i was allowed to shower like twice a month, i was extorted, my medication was taken and withheld, and i was verbally and physically abused often, including getting mocked for my sa regularly. there is more. so much more. but venting isnt the purpose of this post
ive made a gofundme here for getting out and staying out, and i also have a ko-fi that takes both paypal and stripe.
you have absolutely no idea how much its meant to have people care so much and do what they can to help, thank you all from the bottom of my fucking heart.
hi, i’m damone, you may know me by roughly 23 other names. i’… Mona Damone needs your support for damone's family violence and homelessnes

hi to you, we've been hunting for a 2nd job with no luck for a couple of months now and while we still have some income from our current job, we don't get very many hours so it isn't enough to sustain us! and unfortunately we are very limited in what we can do due to physical disability so options are slim. i have to pay my phone bill, credit card bill, and refill medications, as well as pay for regular life expenses; if you're willing and able to send us a few dollars, anything helps!

helloooooo refuge was a bust because of legal shit i cannot discuss (no i did not do anything, none of this fell through because of me pulling some bullshit) and i am heading to the city tomorrow to link in with new support services and find work. accommodation is the priority currently as i will have access to food banks and am a very capable cook. i have secured transport and paid for two weeks of accommodation using my super, and i will be trying to pay as much on my own as i go, but my centrelink payments are about to drop significantly because of the housing situation. so. not awesome but we move. literally, actually. we move. anyways. thank you all so much for your help so far. without getting too weepy on you i would just like to express that the kindness ive been shown has altered my perspective heavily on a lot of things and im very grateful. like. cannot even begin to articulate it. thank you again as always and forever. ily

My name is Niizh, and I am getting top surgery by the end of the year. I've completed most of the steps required for surgery, now all I need is money to cover my rent when I need to take a month off of work.
I make $1k a paycheck, and my rent is $1k a month. I've already maxed out my credit card, and I already borrowed money from friends and family. After bills, I regularly only have $100 to last me for weeks.

"From researching historic twill patterns in museum collections to dyeing wool with Kool-Aid, Diné (Navajo) weaver and instructor Venancio Aragón interlocks research and experimentation to expand the visual and technical vocabularies of Diné weaving. Working on the Diné upright loom, Aragón is part of a generation of Diné weavers who reinterpret ancestral knowledge through experimentation, carrying the medium forward on their own terms. As he stated in our interview with him, “I am not a purist.”
Based in Farmington, New Mexico, Aragón is trained in cultural anthropology and Native American and Indigenous studies, currently teaching at Diné College, the Navajo Nation’s tribal college. Before transitioning to full-time weaving and teaching, Aragón worked as an interpretive park ranger at the Mesa Verde, Aztec Ruins, Bandelier, and Petroglyph National Monuments, where he led tours and developed public education initiatives. He was born to the Tó’aheedlíinii (The Water Flow Together People) clan and born for the Naakaii (Mexican people).

i just got kicked out of an abusive home with basically nothing but my medication and my laptop, and i live in the middle of fucking nowhere, have no one in the area, no license, and i need to sort out accommodation, food, and other essentials for me and my cats tonight and for the next few days most likely.
im australian and our dollar is dogshit so anything helps more than you know. love u.

poll to make this less "woe is me" (though please do not get it twisted. its at least a little woe is me. but look theres a button to press)
would you consider yourself a pessimist, optimist, or realist?
hello hi some quick updates: the most important is that my accommodation has been extended, but it ends on friday the 31st (it is the 29th today)
after this im likely going to need to find somewhere else to stay and its much more expensive to stay in this town, funds are running out, and so i need to try and get somewhere in the city
ive also added stripe as an option on ko-fi alongside paypal
as always, thank you all so much for your help so far, i would have been utterly fucked without you especially with how much bureaucratic bullshit hoops ive had to jump through and wait on. i will be trying to fund as much as possible on my end as well. any help has been and will be much appreciated. ily
more updates below, much longer. very long actually. slightly rambly sorry ↓
ive received a one off crisis payment of $400 from centrelink, and im going in today to lodge the physical dsp forms ive filled out as i cannot scan and upload them from here
my caseworker has been trying to secure me a spot in a refuge but right now they have yet to get back to her and i am not able to take this into my own hands. i have to wait, as i cant self refer or follow this up on my own behalf
several places are available to take my cats, but they wont be able to until theyve either gotten their boosters or i can get the records to verify their shots are still in date. im waiting on hearing back if the clinic has found them, but in the meantime ive booked an appointment as early as i was able to for the 11th of august to get their shots. however its a matter of finding somewhere to stay until then, once theyre boarded ill have a lot more flexibility. if i can get them in somewhere earlier i will do so immediately even if its out of pocket, but i wont be able to before accommodation runs out regardless
i was able to get some winter clothes so i have some warmer stuff for this abysmal fucking weather. some shirts, pants, a jumper, and hoodie. im gonna get some socks and gloves today i think. fuck winter
ive been cooking so any costs have been kept fairly low in terms of food, at least as far as possible w the price of groceries.
i have applied for other payments and rebates to see if i can squeeze anything else from the system rn from services, as well as having what little super i had released
ill need to pay for transport to the city for me, my cats, and some of my belongings to get there. public transport isnt an option in terms of what i need to take and my own physical limitations with disability, but once i find somewhere to stay and dont need to take my cats everywhere with me to adhere to policy, im very adept at navigating public transport so that should be a relative non issue funds wise beyond time crunches and less accessible locations. even if i were to just send my belongings ahead to the city and take public transport with the cats, courier fees are about $400
i HAVE negotiated my way into being able to pick up some of my things from the house, mainly extra clothes, any records i can get, some personal valuables.
i will potentially be making a gfm to help with the rest of the rental and moving process so i can get as much of my shit as possible from the house that i cant take this week and store it, try and get some basic secondhand furniture and appliances, get some driving lessons to get my p plates so i can retrieve my car and also use it to move things, and try to secure stable housing long enough to find my footing so i can completely remove any dependency on my abusive family permanently
if and once i secure as spot at a refuge, the cats are handled, and i have a moment to properly figure myself out while the dsp application processes, i will be renewing my rsa and trying to find some small shifts that wont fuck up the application (i need to keep my hours under 14 a week, which... w my physical state wont be difficult unfortunately), save, get my p plates so i can get my car, and overall get as much of my shit together as possible
i am very confident that once my dsp is sorted out, i can find a stable few shifts a week bartending, and i have my p plates for my car, i will be quite functional and be able to afford my own stupid fucking baka life. ive been spending the past few months budgeting, working on applications and gathering evidence for my dsp, rental hunting, and meeting with caseworkers and specialists, i know that once i have stability, ive done my best to ensure maintaining it is within my ability, and im as certain as i possibly can be in my current state, that i will be fine. its just getting the fuck out of here and finding somewhere long enough to give me the chance
so my current priorities will be accommodation in the weird limbo phase, transport to and from places as necessary, and groceries

hi, my name is niizh and I got fucked over by my school and they didn’t give me the financial aid I was promised. On top of that, I haven’t been put on payroll at work so everyone else got paid but me, and it’s really hot here in Minnesota!!
I’d really like just a little bit of help to get another fan for my apartment, I don’t have central AC, just a little window unit and it doesn’t really help when it gets over 75 degrees F. All of next week will be over 80F where I live, and my medication makes me overheat easily. :(
And once I start getting paid again, I should honestly not need mutual aid again for a long while, I was lucky to have savings set aside for my surgery that I was able to use as emergency rent money when I came back to the country.
