Grant #232821 to We Exist

hardship due jobloss

Grant #232821

Submitted by Anna

Request Details
I lost my job in early December and have been unable to find a new one despite my efforts. Unfortunately, I no longer have access to a laptop, as I was using my work device while employed, and my personal laptop is beyond repair.
I am also a male-to-female transgender woman, which adds unique challenges to my situation.
I plan to use this money for:
  • Buying discounted groceries to stretch my budget.
  • Getting a second-hand laptop to apply for jobs and attend interviews.
  • Supporting myself until I can access unemployment benefits, as my rent has left me with nothing :(
  • Covering essential prescriptions, including estrogen gel.

I tried to dispute what I could with ex-employer, but I didn't received any consessions at all, and been left with nothing :(

Thank you for your understanding and support during this challenging time.
