Disabled Black Trans Housing and Monthly Support

Donation protected
Hello! My name is James Alcantara (he/him) and I need help keeping and securing housing. I need to move in January but I am not able to work due to disability/mental illness (BPD, C-PTSD, ADHD, Depression with Psychotic Features, Anxiety).  Moving is expensive. I have some financial support but it is definitely strained, especially with covid.  I have been on the waitlist for section 8 for a WHILE, and I do not have the proper medical documentation to get disability yet (I was denied twice, I have not gone to court about it yet). So after lots of thinking, I decided to make this gfm. I also need some assistance paying my current rent and other living expenses (food, meds, utilities, etc.) so this is for that too.  I will be splitting all funds received in half. Half for current needs, and half for moving costs. Studio/1BR apartments range from about 650-800 dollars a month here not including utilities, however there isn't much choice so I may end up stuck with something closer to 800 than 650. Here is my cost breakdown Current Needs 336- rent each month until feb 5 100- utilities each month until feb 5 200- each month for food 200- each month for misc expenses (meds, uber, other misc needs)  ~1700 total Moving 800-deposit 800- 1st month 100-1st month utilities 100- application fees 100 - misc moving fees ~1900 total Financial stress really has been affecting me so horribly. Constant anxiety, throwing up, dissociation, depressive spells, etc. The worries of not being able to have my own secure space is very scary for me. So avoiding not having my own place, and having any kind of additional financial support during this time would mean the world, and greatly improve my general day to day living. I'd be really grateful if you could donate and share. If you have any questions at all I would be happy to elaborate further. I will try to keep this updated as much as I can. Thank you so so much. Love and Blessings, James
