Help Matilda Survive Unexpected Bill

I am a non-binary trans woman living with multiple health issues. On the morning of Trump's election to a second term - already bad enough news for me and many I love - I woke up to the news that I will immediately owe nearly $1000 in additional taxes/ accountant fees.

I am a very part time journalist in Asheville, NC who makes ends meet on petsitter wages, and I live only blocks from some of the worst destruction wrought by Hurricane Helene. In the aftermath of the storm, I have lost several gigs in a town that's gone nearly a month and a half without potable water. I am yet to receive needed disaster relief funds, and work is yet to fully resume.

This is, to say the least, a major setback. In order to be able to afford safe and reliable transportation to and from my worksites, and in order to continue to buy the supplies that keep my body from failing me in these hectic times, I need help paying these bills.

Anything additional raised will go towards meeting basic needs in one of the least affordable cities in the country. Thank you so much!
