Help Iris pay for rent and bills

Donation protected
For 6 years I have worked in mental health and social services. Very recently I dealt with transphobia from two coworkers and another work conflict where I was painted as unprofessional when I was actually being racially and able-ly victimized. I am literally puking from stress and dealing with aggravated PTSD. I am completely burned out from this field and applying for jobs in other non-caregiving careers. I am fundraising for $3000 for rent, bills, meds and groceries for 2-3 months to give me space to quit my job ASAP, regulate my body and mind while I look for work.

I am an Afro Puerto Rican disabled with bipolar, PTSD, PCOS, an orphan, queer, non-binary person that has survived homicide, sexual violence, houselessness and addiction. If you know me, you know I have a big heart and I am always there for people. Please let me lean on you right now and I promise I will pay it forward once I can. Please donate, share, and like, that would be so appreciated.

(I will totally utilize public benefits and am exploring disability. But I need cash to float me just in case and in addition to any support I find elsewhere.)
