I’m asking for help because I’ve reached a point where I can no longer carry everything on my own. I also think its time for me to be transparent about the hardship Ive been facing all year.

Since April , I’ve experienced housing instability, Isolation, harassment from roommates , legal battles, financial hardship, and the denial of both SNAP and EDD assistance while trying to meet my basic needs. I also lost my job due to racial discrimination, and after reviewing my complaint, the EEOC gave me the right to pursue legal action.

During this same period, I experienced deeply personal trauma involving coercion, manipulation, and violations of my personal boundaries and body, which ultimately resulted in a deeply personal situation I had to handle on my own. These experiences have been incredibly emotionally draining and traumatizing.

I’ve also had very little support during this time.

When my housing situation became especially difficult, I reached out to my mother return to DC to recover and build my credit. , but she told me she didn’t think it was a good idea for me to come home, and we have since had very little communication. My maternal family are also facing their own individual challenges and cant house me at this time. My uncle Aaron has helped me with nervous system exercises and groceries when I asked but I don’t want to keep asking for temporary fixes without being able to fully stabilize.  A last resort arrangement to stay with my uncle on my father’s side in Georgia also unfortunately fell through.

On top of everything, navigating this with my neurodivergence has made the constant stress even harder to manage.

I have reached my breaking point.

My therapist has encouraged me to step out of survival mode and focus on recovery and rehabilitation. I need stability, time to recover, and the ability to rebuild without constantly being in crisis.

I’m raising $3,000 to help with emergency groceries, overdue utilities and internet, transportation, household necessities, temporary housing while I wait for my eviction trial, travel and packing expenses, and wellness/recovery support.

I’m raising $3,000 to help me cover my immediate needs, temporary housing, and the costs of transitioning into a safer and more stable living situation.

Immediate necessities

• Groceries: $250
• Utilities — approximately 2 months behind: $200
• Water — approximately 2 months behind: $150
• Internet — approximately 2 months behind: $140
• Transportation to work, appointments, interviews, and essential errands: $200
• Household essentials, including pots, pans, and basic supplies: $60

Recovery & transition

• Wellness and recovery support: $180
• Temporary/extended-stay housing: $1,000
• Travel and packing/moving supplies: $250

Additional transition cushion: $570

The remaining funds will help cover unexpected expenses that can come with transitioning out of an unstable situation, including additional transportation, luggage or moving supplies, storage, food and necessities during travel, laundry/toiletries, and other essential costs.

My objective is to use these funds to get through this difficult transition

I’m not asking because I’ve stopped trying. Im actively applying to all kinds of jobs, and on my way to drop my resume off at a few businesses as well as applying for local gigs. I’m asking because I have been trying for months, and I need a bridge out of survival mode so I can work on building stability with full energy and mental clarity.

Even $5 or $10 helps. . If you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser or offering practical support would mean just as much. If you’re a Reiki practitioner, energy worker, or tarot reader who would be willing to offer a session or connect me with someone who can, I would also deeply appreciate that support as I work through this period of recovery.

I’m not giving up. I’m asking for help so I can finally breathe, recover, and rebuild. ❤️
