Hello everyone,
My partner Luke and I are a neurodivergent, disabled, trans couple currently without stable housing. We’re staying in a hotel with our two cats as we work towards securing a more permanent place. After leaving our previous residence, we’ve struggled to find a new home, but we recently received a potential opportunity in Luke’s hometown of Rapid City, SD. A friend there has offered us a chance at a shared housing situation, but it won’t be available until November 2nd. We’re reaching out for support to help us cover the costs of staying afloat and moving until then.
Here’s a breakdown of the funds we’re hoping to raise:
- $2,100 to cover our hotel stay through the end of October
- $800 for a U-Haul rental and gas to relocate
- $1,100 for our portion of the rental deposit, pet deposit, and first month’s rent
- $1,000 for essentials: food and supplies for us and our cats, medication, transportation, and other daily expenses
Any help—donations or even just sharing this—would mean so much to us and help us get to a stable place. Thank you so much for any support you can offer.
