Transgender parent and their family need help to escape from trans/homophobic household as soon as possible

Auckland

Hi everyone!

My name is Marly Bliss, and my family and I have been told to get out of our home.

I am a transgender man with a beautiful wife and a young daughter, who I love to absolute pieces. I also have as a housemate a family friend who's moved from Canada for a fresh start in our beautiful country, and a transgender woman who has been cut off from her own family due to her transition. I single handedly support my entire household on my salary, which is just enough to cover the bills, but now that we're being shown the door I can't raise enough to save for a bond by myself.

Despite obeying the landlord's rules, never failing to pay rent, and generally keeping my head down and my nose clean, things have finally come to a head.

My wife is a wonderful mum to our little girl and I'm the full time provider of my family; one person's salary supporting three plus a friend between jobs does not making saving for bond easily, especially with all of a few days notice to get out.

Goal is approx. $3,000 for bond and letting fee, goal left open as every little bit helps.

Marluxia Bliss' involvement (page creator)

I'm involved in this cause as the head of my household and the protector of my family; I must get us into a larger, more tolerant house where they and I can grow and help others in return.
