A Friend in Need
Aug. 24th, 2024 02:02 amMy family-of-choice brother Max is in a bind. His situation tends to be varying levels of precarious most of the time, since he's an AuDHD trans man with PTSD trying to survive in Seattle, but this time 'precarious' is an understatement.
He recently - like, mere days ago - moved from a (literal!) fleabag hotel into shared accommodations with a roommate who turns out to be very toxic, had deceived him about the details of the living arrangement, and is now giving him ten days (from yesterday) to move elsewhere, with not a cent of the rent/SD he paid her being returned. (She says she'll refund him later 'as a gesture of trust', a phrase that, in this context, makes little sense except as a means of guilting him into not insisting on a refund.)
That leaves him with basically nothing but pocket lint with which to try to find alternate accommodation and attempt to regain some degree of stability in his situation, since he's not currently employed.
I don't have the wherewithal to cover even a tiny fraction of what he needs - but then it occurred to me, I can crowdsource for him. So I am. Those who are willing, and able, to help out, every bit is appreciated, whether monetary, or in the form of Seattle-area leads on either accommodation or employment.
He does tarot and other sorts of divination via his website at Bijou Fortune, if you prefer to get something in return for your contribution, or can be donated to via his Venmo or his Paypal.
Comment if you have any leads or other potentially-useful info, or questions (though prying into his details to determine if he's 'worthy' is not welcome).
Please feel free to share widely - here are links to my Xwitter, Bluesky, Mastodon, and Tumblr posts, if you're on any of those platforms and want to repost.
