Queer Displaced by Apartment Fire

Update: Cosmo was able to access their apartment and while some of their things were recoverable, they are still out of their apartment until they demo the other building. This could take anywhere from a week to months. We’re continuing with this fundraiser to cover the expenses of living without access to their apartment or their belongings.

Today, May 16th, two apartment complexes caught fire, shutting down I405. One of the apartment's affected by this was Cosmo's, where their windows were broken by the fire hoses which caused significant water and smoke damage to their belongings. Unfortunately, Cosmo is unable to gain access to their apartment for at minimum a week due to structural damage to the building, and doesn't have a home or access to any belongings.

Cosmo is an incredible member of our community, and if you know them at all, you'd know that they would never ask for any sort of help. Which is why it's a good thing we're friends because I have no problem doing so on their behalf. This comes in a series of unfortunate events, in which two of their job locations shut down in the span of a month, leaving them unemployed and currently in interviews for new jobs. They were evacuated from their apartment with only their purse and the clothes on their back. We are trying to replace necessity items, get them a couple of outfits to attend interviews in, and pay for the replacement of important documents. But these take funds that are beyond our scope of capability. That's why we're reaching out to you, our beautiful community, to help us support someone we love incredibly dearly and who hasn't been able to catch a break.
