Support Lilia's Covid Recovery and Housing Needs

Hi, I'm Lilia, and if you're here, you probably know me. I have been out of work for almost 3 weeks due to Covid, and I'm not sure when I'll be able to start working again, considering I'm still not doing well and have no idea how long the recovery would take. This is one of those moments in life, where I feel like one more misfortune might leave me homeless.

So all things considered, I decided to ask for financial support from my community. I need money to both help me cover living expenses while I recover (groceries, bills), and to help me secure new housing, since most of the time it's required to pay 2x or 3x the rent to get on the lease, and I don't have that amount at the moment. I can't ask my family of origin for support because it always comes with strings attached, and those strings usually mean I might be subjected to their emotional abuse as has been the case in the past. My mom is still in the cult I grew up in, that I was lucky enough to escape as a young adult by moving to the US. I try to maintain a friendly relationship, but I cannot accept support from her or my brother at this moment.

If you're a person who has some financial security right now, I am reaching out for your support. Any amount helps, even $5. If you are unable to donate financially, please consider sharing this fundraiser within your networks. Thank you for being here!
