Help Aoife and Willow Keep Their Home
My name is Aoife, and I’m a transgender woman living in Portland, Oregon, with Willow, my four-year-old Shiba Inu. In 2025, I lost my housing after a prolonged period of unemployment. For nearly ten months, I paid rent just to sleep on my mother’s couch.
This year, I found work again and finally moved into my first independent apartment in July. In October, my employment assignment unexpectedly ended, just before three major gender-affirming surgeries.
My insurance covers the medical procedures, but it doesn’t cover rent, utilities, groceries, or essential hygiene supplies during recovery. Without financial assistance, I’m at risk of losing the apartment I worked so hard to secure and becoming homeless again while recovering from surgery.
I’m raising $10,000 to help cover approximately six months of essential living expenses. My immediate priority is keeping our home through January. My essential monthly costs are approximately:
Rent: $1,000 Utilities: $115 Food: $300Hygiene and incontinence supplies: $200
How you can help:
Please consider donating whatever you can, or sharing this appeal with your community. Every contribution helps keep Willow and me safely housed during recovery.

I'm JJ. I am intersex, visibly disabled, queer, biracial, poor, neurodivergent, immunocompromised, and probably a few other things society frowns upon.
My household/found family is living in the hostile US south on a single disability check that only just covers utilities. We have no food benefits, and my medicine and clinic visits are really expensive. We also don't have a water heater, which I would like to change eventually.
