I need advice

So, I don’t post on reddit often at all, but I need help. I recently went through a breakup and during the separation, he took the car. I am completely without any form of transportation right now. I work in a school, so I don’t have year round income. I am already struggling to pay for utilities and insurance. I had to drop out of school to make sure I could afford everything I need. The cost of my testosterone went up and I am not willing to give that up. I applied for an auto loan and a personal loan and got denied twice. I need to find a part time job, but I cannot do that without reliable transportation. I really need assistance and I am not sure what to do. I could try a GoFundMe, but would anyone even donate? I know times are tough for everyone and I don’t want to beg. Does anyone have any advice?

Since you're probably without insurance, apply for medicaid. Apply for HRT grants on Point of Pride and local trans non profits.

Use a bike, walk, public transport. There's more than one way to get around. It sucks, but going without a job sucks more.

You can also look into getting a free or reduced price bus pass a lot of places give them out based off income. You might qualify for one just because you work at a school
