Request Details
Hello firstly thank you for taking the time to read my application, i am a afro-latin trans woman and where i currently live ive been denied employment due to it being a 'hassle' to employ me due to my change of name deeds and their suspicion I'm working in this country illegally.
Over the last year and a half i have found family and true community in Bristol and it is where my main support systems are. Ive been living alone since i was 15 being kicked out due to my transness and i have been supporting myself ever since. Your help with this would be greatly appriciated and never forgotten as with businesses not employing me down here I've only been able to take tempt work where i can get it so i haven't been able to save as much as id like to to be able to help fund my move.
Thank you so much for tsking the time to read this and i send my greatest thanks <3
