I'm a trans woman who has been living on her own in apartment in a tiny town in rural east Texas since February. The only thing I've felt safe doing was going to Dallas and Ubering. It has piled a lot of miles on my car, and I'm afraid to drive it now. I have reached out to a few trans charities in my local area, they can help me with my rent and electric but not until next week. But none of them are able to help me pay for my car. I spoke to them today, I'm already very late on it, and they're gonna tow it if I can't make my 300 dollar payment before they close today at 7pm. I just applied at target which isn't that far from me, and I'm pretty sure they will get hired, I've been talking to HR for a couple days now and they know all the details of my "story" at this point. I know us trans people are all going through a lot, and very few of us have means to just give money away. I hope at least the fact that my account is as old as it is and I have made consistent posts almost the entire time will give y'all some peace of mind. If I lose my car I will be forced to work at some bigoted place within walking distance of my apartment, which will only increase my dangers. I will not be able to get to 2 towns over anymore, which is where most of my supportive community is, my therapy is, and where target is. I have found an affirming church which I go to Sundays and Wednesdays for LGBTQ group. I don't think my mental health can afford stopping going. My pastor is the first person I called. Their funds are dry. They have helped me in the past with rent and hrt so I can't be mad at them about it. I have asked everyone I can think of that I know personally. I am making this post because I am desperate in every sense of the word. Anything anyone helps with will be paid back when I get my first check. Even if it doesn't get me to the full amount, whatever gets me closer will be appreciated. I am sorry for making this post, I feel like a loser, and like people will think I'm scamming them, or that I'm just lazy. I really do not know what else to do.

Update: A very nice person messaged me informing me her wife saw my post and that they wanted to help. They then sent me the full amount I needed, I just called and paid for my car. God is so awesomely good and his timing always prevails!

Thank you everyone who offered to help. Even though it has been resolved I am choosing to go ahead and leave this post up as a testament and testimony to others. Don't ever be afraid to ask for help. The LGBTQ community and trans people especially are notorious for looking out for each other and having each other's backs. I know it can be scary, you don't know what others will think, as I even said. But there really are a lot of good people here. And I'm thankful to know them.
