Help an autistic trans man keep up with bills

Donation protected
Hey there, My name is Daniel and I’m a 20 year old autistic trans mexican and indigenous man from the oregon city area. I came here to make this gofundme because I’ve come to the brink of losing everything I’ve worked hard to achieve. Being wrongfully arrested and formerly homeless has been a huge challenge and thankfully I’ve been able to get my own place but now it is extremely hard to keep up with. I’m currently struggling with severe ptsd and depression on top of working nonstop at a dead end grave job. Working 10 hour over night shifts all week isn’t helping me at all mentally or financially and due to bills being over the roof i’m stuck having nearly nothing left to get me food or gas and yet I don’t qualify for food stamps. The trauma of childhood physical and sexual abuse I’m having to remember everyday has pulled me at my lowest to where I’m struggling with thoughts of suicide. But I know 100% sure that I’m not ready to give up and let myself lose this constant battle.

I’m working extremely hard to stay afloat on top of returning to community college to get my associates in biology degree, and work on getting top surgery to aid in my gender transition. I’ve never been one to ask for help so making this post has been really mentally tolling but any small amount of money will mean the world to me and I’d love to be able to buy a big meal to cook at home for once. Or maybe even pay a bill on time without worrying if I’ll be able to make it for the rest of the month. It’s extremely hard to keep up as I was forced to transition to adulthood at an extremely early age while growing up in poverty I’ve had almost zero guidance on how to survive like this. I’m hoping to be able to find a new job by the end of this year so I can have more time to take care of my mental health and have more financial security. But as of now, this is what I am living with until a better opportunity comes my way.

My main goal for this is to be able to pay all of my bills on time, buy a good amount of groceries, and put the rest away to help me continue my education and gender transition. ANYTHING HELPS A TON! Even sharing this will help me more than you can imagine.
