Hi. My name is James, and I’m a transmale living in SoCal. While I wouldn’t normally post this kind of thing — I am in desperate need of help, and I mean it. Desperate doesn’t even begin to cover it.
A few nights ago, I got and eviction notice. I called my landlord, who immediately said she didn’t “have” to give me a reason for the eviction, and that she was terminating the lease in a way she wanted to. Fine, whatever. Seeing as I’m transgender, I spoke to the legal department at my local LGBT center here in SoCal, and they said there was nothing they could do. Again, fine. Whatever.
My point is that I am on disability for chronic Crohn’s Disease, Bipolar Disorder II, and a myriad of other things that simply keep me from working a stable job. As you can imagine, my bipolar depression has sunk because of this, and without my friends, I don’t know if I’d still be here.
I have to vacate my apartment by January 1st. That’s all the time I have, and with new apartments needing a month or so in advance to move someone in — this is dire and I need to scrape things together before the window closes.
With all of that said — I don’t have the money to move. I just don’t. With my phone bill, my rent ( that I still have to pay until my moving date ), my medical co-pays and medication costs, etc. — I’m in a bad place financially. It’s no joke. With the upcoming expenses of a security deposit and first and last month’s rent — I just can’t do it. I’m on food stamps currently, but even with that — things are incredibly tight.
What I’m asking for is anything, and I mean anything you can spare. A dollar, five, whatever. With my mental and physical medical conditions, I simply cannot be homeless. I have been homeless before in my life, and I refuse to be in that position again. I can’t wake up to face the day feeling like each one is closer to dread — and this is honestly my last resort.
I’ve cut off my internet and landline to save money, and am using the hotspot on my phone to post this. I’m currently in a really fucking shitty place, my friends, and I’d appreciate it if you could help.
My Paypal is HERE, and I’m begging you to please think about this. Consider it. Anything at all would be helpful, and I’d personally be in your debt forever. Even if you’re just reading this, I appreciate it greatly. Thank you for at least taking the time to, and I’ll be posting updates on my situation as it comes.
Likes / reblogs — all of that is so very welcome and I thank you for it. A reblog could literally save my life, so if you’re unable to help, please at least spread the word. Again, my Paypal is HERE, and if you’re not comfortable sending it through that, let me know through DMs and I’ll set something else up.
Thank you so much for reading, and have a great day.
