I’m currently living at a friend’s place until October 1st, I’m trying to find housing after that. My friend wants to be my roommate, but until we find somewhere they’re sleeping on the street.

I am moving to Providence, RI as soon as I find a place. I will be going to school at MTTI for motorcycle and small engine repair.

One ad stated the house was merely LGB friendly with no mention as to why the T was very intentionally left out.
I am a trans young...

Anonymous asked: Hi, so I found this blog and I (and a friend of mine) would SO be willing to help out, couch, room, longterm, everything. Unfortunately, we live in Germany, so there's not really a way to do this. So my question is: do you know if there is a similar blog in existence for Germany/other countries in general, to get in contact with people who need a place to stay? Thx
