Hey there! My name is Jaime, We used to live in Texas but due to obvious political tension and extreme instability and lack of safety for transgender people like me but I just became homeless Jaime C. a day ago We are almost completely out of spare money to cover bills, and Asylum is not an option due to my country's strictness on it and the political tensions for transgender people in the United States are not currently our government's priority. Aubrey W. a day ago Need to move out of Texas the cost of the actual move itself is to much Unfortunately, my money has been going to taking care of those I love who have been rendered jobless by the tariffs and medical bills, so there isn't any left for me. So l turn to you all. Biley C. a day ago ROSE, SHE/THEY, 26: I AM A TRANS WOMAN WHO RECENTLY GOT LAID OFF FROM MY JOB WITH NO INTENT TO BRING ME BACK. I SUPPORT MYSELF AND MY PARTNER OTHERWISE. THINGS HAD ALWAYS BEEN TIGHT BUT DOABLE, BUT WITH LOSING THIS JOB IT HAS IMPLODED ANY SENSE OF STABILITY IN MY LIFE. IF YOU CAN HELP ANYTHING HELPS. ROSE H. 18 hours ago
