you have to be kinder to people who are slow processors.

you have to be kinder to people who don't understand your jokes.

you have to be kinder to people who forget important dates.

you have to be kinder to people with cognitive decline.

you have to be kinder to people who were always this way, too.

we've been in a dire situation for months, ever since my wife lost her job this past autumn.

we've finally been served a notice to vacate.

$3,138 due by JUNE 14 2026 or else it's the streets for us.

with no income or proof of employment, we have nowhere else to go. i'm unable to work because of worsening ME/CFS and other debilitating health issues that i can't afford treatment for. jobs are refusing to hire my trans wife. if we lose our housing, it will kill us, as even this city is becoming more and more openly hostile to immigrants and trans women.

it's aapi heritage month and me/cfs awareness month, and we're going to get evicted in pride month.

i don't know what else to say. we've been begging for months.

$2,804 / $4,136

i have to add our base rent of $998 to the goal amount since we still do not have any confirmation of being hired and even if that happens soon, it will take multiple paychecks to catch up on our own, thus starting this harrowing cycle all over again.

$2,894 / $4,136

$3,069 / $4,136

meaning $69 (lol nice) left to pay in full to avoid eviction!!

still jobless and incomeless, with phone and internet bills (~$150) and next month's rent ($998, included in overall goal amount) coming up soon too. it's been an enormously stressful time and i'm currently dealing with a PEM flare on top of everything. x_x

unfortunately, we were also informed that the amount needed that was not reflected on the notice we were given, had bumped up to $3,200. we're able to avoid eviction with what we've paid, and requested a ledger for transparency. before eviction amount was paid, we owed a total of $4,204, as of this past monday. that means we're still on the treadmill of owing rent and getting hit with late fees, the owed balance has not been totally cleared.

the above mentioned bills (phone, internet, this month's rent +$10 late fee as it's unlikely we'll be able to pay before the 7th) are also still very needed. my wife's been in job limbo and it's unclear whether or not they're moving forward with onboarding. so we still need help in order to full catch up without incurring more fees.

I have been in regular contact with Mohammed for almost 2 years now. Please help him and his family!The money will reach him quicker if you can donate through Paypal, which is managed by my friend who regularly sends the donations to Mohammed.

i have paid half my rent this month (6800/14000INR) because i had to incur personal expenses such as travelling, paying my brother's sem fees, and some other things. i was able to rent a fridge because it is impossible otherwise in this stuffy room (only a ceiling fan) and food was becoming a bigger expense if i was buying stuff to cook only immediately /eat immediately. so this is where i am at

i did try to give tuitions but the location is far from my office so i can't balance both everyday + the travelling back and forth would be an extra charge (i already cant afford transportation to my work, i only have enough for two days)

andi got some work on here, and then i sold one of my vintage record covers (i dont have a record player i just had a really good old hindi film poster that somebody offered to buy)

so this is where i am at, and it is a matter of urgency. i was able to stock up on food because somebody gave me a giftcard i added that to the goal money too) so i am not worried about my cats, at least for a week or so.

i dont really like explaining my situation in complete detail because i am... well... embarrassed/ashamed and also aaaah it feels bad but yeah!!!!

any and every help literally matters a lot right now. i am willing to do ur homework, write ur assignments, or any other service i can offer (if ur in india and need help with things i can help with that too!!!!) so that is all !!!
