Help Charlie survive and find a safe place to live
Charlie is a 25-year-old disabled and autistic trans man in urgent need of your help. He was kicked out from the household where he lived most of his life and has nowhere to go. Bouncing between hotels, he is currently homeless and doesn’t have a stable place to stay. (His current room is booked until August 1st, though we're hoping to extend this stay for a few more weeks after he receives his next disability check.)He’s already dealing with serious chronic illnesses (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, seizure disorders, POTS, mast cell disease, gastroparesis, ME, trigeminal neuralgia, a history of pulmonary embolism) and his mental health condition suffered deeply from years of trauma he faced in an abusive household. (He struggles with conditions such as depression, generalized anxiety disorder, OCD, and CPTSD, as well as being autistic.) Juggling these conditions adds several layers of complexity and logistical difficulty to keeping Charlie alive and safe.If anyone has a safe place he could stay - even temporarily - or knows any LGBTQ-friendly resources that can help, please let us know. You can also donate through Paypal, CashApp or Ko-Fi ! Even a few dollars can help with covering emergency shelter, food, personal care basics, medical supplies and transportation.Please share this post to spread the word and help give Charlie a fighting chance at a better life. Thank you all so much and stay safe!
Urgent:
If anyone has a room, looking for roommate or just a little place for temporary stay, please DM! At this point we are desperate and not restricted to a single state, any place in the US will work as long as it is safe.
