Help Aspen Overcome Unexpected Hardship

Hi, my name is Aspen. I am a disabled queer trans person and have been experiencing a lot of difficulties in the last couple of years. I have a passion for helping people and taking care of others. I have given a lot of myself, serving and advocating for LGBTQ+ rights in MA, over the past 8 years. But I have been experiencing a lot of setbacks and have been facing housing and food instability. I lost my job due to discrimination and have not been able to find employment since. My mom passed away a couple years ago and I could not even get the funds together in order to give her a proper burial with her beloved sister. Right now I am facing eviction and while I have a new place to go, I'm not sure how I will be able to pay rent as I am behind right now. I am trying to dig myself out of this hole that I find myself in but keep finding more barriers and problems being on my plate.

I'm looking for some help settling a debt and paying my rent and utilities that are past due, as well as keeping my special needs cat, Mog, up to date on his shots and paying for his prescription food. Please donate if you can! I want to be able to move past this slump and continue to be able to do important work to make this world a safer place for all.
