*Black n Brown disabled lgbt folks is severe need!!!*
Hi everyone, I wanted to remake and update our donation post, for those who know and dont know whats going on
basically I didnt get any UI or govt help and still dont, I cannot work during the pandemic as it might kill me or disable me further, and in late june my grandfather passed away. even before the pandemic my mental health was rocky but Im in a very dark place and I really need to get a therapist and a psych who listens and are women of color, since i dont have income i cant afford that right now but i desperately need the help to pull me out of this deep and very dark hole
my partner @honeybearbutch has been experiencing transmisogynistic, homophobic, fatphobic and ableist abuse for years, since the start of the pandemic they have been trapped with their abusers 24/7, and the level of abuse and violence as dramatically increased. In early june their parents started being more vocal and open about their far right views wrt the protests and our relationship, Xochi defended me, the protesters and aggressively detested their far right anti black views. Due to this the tension in the house has been great, and homelessness has been threatened several times by all of the adults in the house and recently as of today 08/16/20 they were threatened and then assaulted by their homo/transphobic oldest brother after being abandoned at work with no way of getting home. We many need to get them into an airbnb soon but are not sure yet mostly because of the cost, I just dont want them to experience anymore physical violence.
many of you know that we started the gofundme in early june and we are only 2/3rds away from our goal!!!, we had plans to move in together pre rona and to reside in their home state and did save a little bit for it but due to their familes abuse they genuinely fear for staying there, so we are looking for places in my home state where the cost of living is 10x more expensive. where we do NOT have a savings fat enough for even a months rent for an apt here which for a one bedroom its about 1.5K+ a month. I CANT work with the public during the pandemic and my partner is probably gonna have to stop working as to not expose me to covid so that is why we are asking for so much
In the immediate as always i need $ for food and phone but also help for getting my partner and mother who both work high traffic public jobs better ppe, esp bc my mom is an older disabled black woman
Xochitl needs help with their phone, transportation and esp help with food, bc they dont get paid until after the 21st, their abusive older brother has basically cut off access to their food, so unless they buy groceries for them (and their parents) they dont have food; they need at least 250 until they get paid
mine: cash.app/$sleepyhen venmo: sleepyhen
xochi’s: cash.app/$grumblybear venmo: XochiRose
****OUR GOFUNDME LINK**** $5,178/$15,000
tldr?: Im a black mentally and chronically ill 2S lesbian trying to get mental health help and much needed safe secure housing for myself and my trans latina gf as they desperately need to escape the abuse and severe violence of their far right family. Any and everything is deeply appreciated right now, so thank you all for sharing and donating.
