Hello, I’m new to hexbear, was directed here by a friend bc of my situation.
Let me give you the long and short of it. End of January, fired from my job after inquiring about wage theft (missed a paycheck). Texas Labor Board told me to kick rocks because I was a 1099 (so no unemployment either). My Driver’s License expired around the time I lost my job, I renewed by mail, but it was never sent, or sent to the wrong address. Either way, I have to renew in person. Waited from January to JULY, only to be turned away do to having the wrong kind of bank statement to prove my personhood. Have had multiple job offers, all said the same “We can’t hire you without a valid ID”.
I’ve survived off of donations from friends, gig work (I do free lance web and graphic design) and selling my things. I have a gofundme going right now (please DM if you’d like to donate, I don’t want to link my real name to an anarchist website).
I’m $500 short on rent and will be evicted (and thus homeless with no valid ID). My landlord is “just some guy” so thankfully he’s been very patient which is good, but he’s made it clear he will file for eviction very soon. I’m kinda at the end of my rope here, I don’t know what else do right now.
Any help is so deeply and unfathomably appreciated. Money will be going basically directly to my landlord, but also to get some essentials like dog food, hygiene products, etc. The only way I have to recieve donations is the gofundme (Please DM for this) and cashapp.
