Help Dej with rent for August!

Donation protected
hi y'all, i'm deja! i am a 42 year-old queer person of color with disabilities. i am in need of help in order to keep living in my apartment. i have no income at the moment, other than the $203 in general assistance each month that i receive from the county--the majority of that goes towards paying my utility bills. the little that's left over is barely enough to get household items and laundry money for the rest of the month. i'm also in the process of trying to reapply for social security disability as well since i've been denied twice already, but it's taking forever.

my landlord is continuing to work with me and help me as best as he can to make sure i can stay here, but the owners of the building are impatient with me even though i'm still working with the landlord and they know that i'm still working hard at trying to get money for rent. if i don't keep up with rent each month, i'll get evicted--i have no friends or family to go stay with if that happens, so i really want to avoid that happening!

my rent is $630 a month. i have $150 from my now-closed givebutter campaign still, so i am in need of $480 at the moment. if you're able to, please help me with scratching up at least that much so i will be continue to be able to have a safe place to live and to keep my mental health steady.

i absolutely hate being at the mercy of others, but i've really no one else to help me out and local rent assistance programs are either out of money or i don't meet all the qualifications they require to be helped. thanks for your help and have a good day! --dej
