Emergency Update 2/18:

After experiencing more sexual harassment that was once again ignored, Alex is being evicted in 2 days on 2/20. The group home has not provided a safe discharge plan as required by law. Because we're worried about her safety as a full-time wheelchair user with cerebral palsy, homeless shelters aren't really an option. She may have to stay in hotels again, so the fundraising goal has been updated to reflect this cost. The stress from the last couple months and her pending eviction gave her another seizure, putting her back in the hospital. Any donations will help keep her safe, housed, and give her some much-needed peace of mind.

Additionally it is becoming clear Alex needs a lawyer which is why the fundraiser has been raised from $5,000 to $14,000. Between hotel costs, down payment on an apartment and legal fees she may need to the full amount. Any funds not used for Alex will be donated to other struggling trans folks in need.

Summary

Alex has been dealing with housing insecurity for the last 2 years. The group home she is staying with denied and tried to cover up the sexual harassment she received from another tenant who was spying on her in the bathroom. Group home staff have also refused to give her her prescription meds and just served her a 30-day eviction notice. Alex is currently in the hospital with three broken ribs. Donations will go towards food, housing, and medical care as we look for a place for her to stay. Any help is greatly appreciated

Update:

Goal was updated to reflect cost down payment and first and possibly last months rent for an ADA wheelchair accessible apartment in Maryland. She also needs someone loving with her so she needs a 1 bedroom minimum apartment which range from 1400-1800 in Maryland a month.
