Help Jade with the loss of two jobs
Donation protected
hi i’m jade, i’m a trans woman who has been living in seattle working as a barista and a Lighting and Sound professional for the past few years. I am unfortunately losing both of my jobs this week due to circumstances unrelated to myself.
The cafe that I have been lucky to work at the past several months is permanently closing due to several factors, after 17 years of being a pillar of the cap hill gay community.
The club that I have consistently worked at since moving to seattle has unfortunately fallen apart at the seams due to abusive ownership and mass resignations in response to said abuse.
My partner unfortunately lost their job a couple months ago, we got through that because I was able to take extra hours at both jobs and use my small amount of savings I had at the time. With the unexpected loss of my club job I don’t have a fallback now and I am in the jobless position.
I do have two jobs lined up that I am hopeful about but it is a major paycut across the board, and I was already well below the median income for king county. I have considered payday/personal loans but I don’t believe that would result in anything other than debt in my current situation.
I'm slowly finding my way back into safe work communities and finding new jobs but the total loss of income for the next few weeks will put our family in jeopardy financially. If you have the means to help while I transition a few more things in my life () I would be deeply grateful. Thank you for always being supportive and I hope to pay it forward as soon as I can!
