My partner and I are seriously struggling financially right now. I quit my previous job over the summer because it was not a safe place for me to work as an out transgender person, and staying in the closet was no longer sustainable. I was fortunate enough to receive unemployment benefits and, up until now, I managed to pay my bills and feed myself with those checks. However, as of last week, I am no longer eligible to collect unemployment. I've applied for many jobs over the past few months, but have not heard back from any of them. My gut tells me it has something to do with my trans status, as my name and gender marker are currently not updated to reflect my proper identity. I'm in the process of changing this, but it's a slow and costly process and I need to be able to live in the meantime. I'm going to keep applying to jobs, but I don't see myself being hired as long as this is an issue. So, until that changes, my partner and I are living solely off their disability income, which was already barely enough to make them through the month by themselves; with me in the mix it's made things impossible. On top of all of that, my partner's car, which we share, has consistently been having problems. Currently, the automatic window on the driver's side is stuck rolled all the way down, which we've tried to repair ourselves with no luck. This causes some obvious safety and security issues and, especially since the weather has started to get colder, makes driving very difficult. So yeah, to cut it short, we really could use some help. Even if you're unable to donate, please consider signal boosting so that it may reach some more people.
