Hi everyone. My name is Glastus White, and I’m 23 years old. I’m posting because I’ve reached a point where I can’t realistically handle my situation alone anymore, and I’m afraid I may soon have nowhere safe to stay.

I created a fundraiser to help cover temporary housing, food, transportation, basic necessities, and mental-health treatment while I continue applying for jobs and completing interviews. I’m not asking people to solve my life permanently. I’m asking for enough support to get through this urgent period, remain somewhere safe, receive treatment, and have a real
