Homeless, Black Transwoman 33
Hi everyone,
Would anyone know of any resources for an older trans woman with no job (I was terminated due to my housing instability and unreliability using DART from two and a half hours away), no car or anything at this point as I sit writing this from an IHOP in Mesquite while a police officer watches me.
I've been through just about everything at this point since losing everything last April 10th:
- My Fiancee
- My 23yo Brother to Fentanyl
- My Cats
- My Job
- My Friend Groups
- My Dignity
I would genuinely appreciate any sort of help or just a safe place to sleep, I don't really eat anymore and have gotten used to fasting for days at a time.
I'm currently waiting for a Unemployment Benefits Determination while I walk and apply to jobs wherever I've found myself lately.
I'm really, really tied and don't know what to do after trying almost everything and not being accepted to women's shelters, and age-gated queer shelters.
Paying my phone bill is a distant concern now, and I really don't have anything to lose anymore.
I'm that numb to it all sometimes, and would really like to regain my sense of security, establish stability and regain my independence again overtime during these trying times.
I have my own estrogen, progesterone and injection supplies and should be getting EBT soon at a padsplit I stopped having the money to maintain.
I've really tried to do so much to keep myself afloat, but now I'm in apart of the metro I'm not familiar with and just sitting across from this Whataburger wondering what I can do at this point?
Mostly now, just focusing on staying positive because it really helps more than anything I can express sometimes when things get heavy. I would sincerely appreciate any kind of help, please.
UPDATE: AN AMAZING HUMAN BEING JUST HELPED ME IN A WAY I CANNOT FATHOM, OMG THANK YOU FRIEND I WILL REPAY YOUR KINDNESS OR PAY IT FORWARD ON GOD A!!!
