Feeling trapped

I am a homeless transgender gay man who is in a crisis residential. I started a *** but I'm feeling discouraged because my roommate raised 13k and I've only raised $15. I have less than a week to find housing.

@adamhasbeen I can only imagine the fear and sorrow you're going through. Have you tried reaching out to the nearest LGBT+ center if available, or any LGBT organization that might point you to housing resources? I hope they might be able to help you. It would be better to get in contact with LGBT-specific services rather than a "regular" homeless shelter, as they would be more familiar with the risks and specific issues you would have to go through as a trans person and may have contacts, spaces and resources available to help you. I truly wish you the best.

Hello Adam! : ) Welcome to 7 Cups.
I'm really sorry to hear about your current situation. It must feel incredibly disheartening to see your efforts not yielding the results you hoped for, especially when the stakes are so high. Your feelings are completely valid, and it's okay to feel discouraged.
Remember, every small step forward is still progress. It's important not to compare your journey with others'. Your story is unique, and your path will unfold in its own way and time. The $15 you've raised is a testament to your resilience and determination, and it’s a foundation you can build upon.
In moments like these, it's essential to hold onto hope. Sometimes, the smallest acts of kindness and the most unexpected opportunities can make a significant difference. Reach out to any available support networks, friends, and community resources. People care about you and want to help.
Keep believing in your worth and your ability to overcome challenges. You're stronger than you know, and this difficult time will pass. Every challenge you face is shaping you into an even more resilient person.
Stay strong and keep pushing forward. You've come this far, and your courage will guide you through this.
With empathy and hope,
LittleEggHarbor
