More online begging I guess. Very tired of this. Long post incoming, the short version is: homeless trans woman and her partners are still homeless, help us eat and take care of our animals/ourselves, and pay for our storage unit and stuff.
Ok, so a few months ago my ex/our landlord fucked us over and we’ve been living in our 94 Astro van since.There’s three of us, one trans woman (me) and 2 nb folks, as well as two pups and a cat. For the first couple months we were heavily focused on finding a living work-trade situation on a farm, and we thought we’d found a perfect fit but we got fucked over AGAIN and kicked out WHILE OUR 11 YEAR OLD WAS WITH US.
In the wake of this we’ve been dealing with depression, aimlessness, car trouble, ex trouble, lack of money from our vaguely unsavory income sources, lack of gigs to cover the gaps, increasing amounts of body pain (two of us have fibro among other things), and a slew of other bullshit.
But there’s a silver lining.
We’ve been offered familial help with putting a down payment on a trailer, on the condition that it’s to help us get stable and we try to stay in a trailer park and work legit jobs until farms start looking for help again in the spring.
We’re more than happy to do this, as long term stability for Ramona is our HIGHEST priority in everything we do.
So right now we’re looking for trailers suitable for long-term living (and having a hell of a time- the kinds of bourgie fucks who buy large 5th wheels and travel trailers don’t give a fuck about their kids’ privacy and most we’ve looked at don’t have a second bedroom) in addition to day to day survival shit.
Our pets need meds (we thought we had a dose to give them next week turns out it was just empty boxes for record purposes), the van, although running for now is on her last legs, and we’re running out of time before the rain starts. We could super use help, because panhandling/odd jobs/sketchy stuff has been TERRIBLE lately.
Right now we’re posted up with some sweet pals in Portland checking out rv dealerships here, but if we can’t find anything we’re gonna have to hit the road again. If we do, we’re pretty sure we can’t keep the van running as long as we need to, and are going to need to switch to hitching, which means buying a bit of gear we don’t have atm, finding a friend for the cat to stay with, finding a place to store the van, and hitting the road.
We can see the way out, and we’re pushing hard to get back off the streets and into some sort of stability but we need help to do it, and strangers on the side of the road aren’t as generous as they used to be.
