Help a Queer Latinx with August Bills
I'll be very honest with y'all, I do not like asking for help. I love helping other whether it's support, money, or resources. My family will tell you I am the last person to eat most of the time because I make sure everyone else has first. So here I am asking for help.
My grandfather passed away in June in SoCal. I live in Portland OR which is about 1,000 miles away. Gas is expensive and so is getting a motel and providing food and care for myself, 2 siblings, partner, and nephew so we could attend the funeral in July. It took literally all my and my sister's savings, over $650. Yeah we should have had more saved but we literally are not able to.
This has left me scrambling with bills and maxing out my credit cards.
So here I am in August and I just tested positive for COVID. I can't work. I work in a group home for foster kids, many of whom are immunocompromised. I can not and will not risk them.
I am asking for literally even $1 if you can spare it. I haven't been able to get groceries in over a month. Portland is in the middle of a heat wave. I have 2 cats I need to get food for. I am OUT of my antidepressants because I can't afford them. I am at my wits end here.
