The miracle we’ve been hoping for
No longer homeless

But living in an RV

https://youtu.be/mMbmw22R9t4?si=xzF1g2aqxqTVMeU4

I’m sorry it’s an hour long. But it features lots of moving into the RV, backstory, cats, my music, my partner’s music, and autistic and trans joy!

I think it’s awfully fitting that we found a RAINBOW RV within our price range, and it’s big enough to be comfortable with our two cats!

We couldn’t be more grateful. But we are hoping that we can continue to find friends who will listen to our music in support, or buy art from me

To all my fellow lgbtqia+ spoonies, I hope you’ll hit the reblog to help me reach more nice people

Here’s some recent art I’ve done..

Much love, and peace out

Thanks to the #MutualAid community on TikTok, my partner, our two cats, and I are able to leave the extended stay hotel we’ve been struggling to stay sheltered in, and now have an #RV to call home.
I’ve started a playlist with RV-based content as a positive turn-around to hopefully come back from this #depression and share our experiences:

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP822Ht6b/

As a #disabled #queer #artist who makes #AltRock music, art, and does other projects to earn a living, I’d sincerely appreciate any support; especially through streaming my music, getting merch or custom art from me, and supporting ( @magicalgrrrl ) my partner’s music and merch.
I currently have a children’s #storybook that I wrote and illustrated, on hold for (self)publication. It is a family-friendly book about my experiences with #homelessness stemming from childhood #abuse from the perspective of a cat.
I’m also slowly but surely working on an #autobiography about my experiences being #ActuallyAutistic with #CPTSD in hopes of reaching other people with similar stories. #Trauma and #HealingTrauma is also the main point of my music.
If you decide to check out the music, get some art, or some merch, thank you!!

So excited to say right now that we’ve raised the funds, and just got back from seeing an RV!! Here’s the official update I made on my Patreon:

https://www.patreon.com/posts/best-case-123349555?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

My partner @magicalgrrrl and I are beyond grateful right now. This is the life-changing miracle we’ve been fighting for!

Once we’re moved in and set up, we’ll be able to live, make music and art, and give our cats a happy, comfortable life.

(Our music, art, and more…) https://hyperfollow.com/LukeOrion

I can’t believe it only took one of my TikTok videos to blow up to get this far. #MutualAid is a true example of how good people can be, and how simple it can be for #community to come together and save a family.

Thank you.

(Featured is a couple recent photos of the cats, one with the entire family, and a digital illustration I did of the cats)

I’ve added a few cat-specific items to our wishlist in hopes of getting some things Max and Lenny need, so any boosts are appreciated

https://throne.com/lukeorion/collections/max-and-lenny

And if anyone is able to contribute to our fundraiser to get a vehicle and into a trans sanctuary state, any support towards that is greatly helpful and appreciated by my family as well

https://fundrazr.com/82UMm6

My partner & I are struggling to keep us sheltered in a hotel week by week, and as trans artists who are disabled in multiple ways, any streams or purchases of our music, and art commissions are also welcome

Thank you! I hope everyone has a safe, peaceful day.

Please boost to help spread the fundraiser to get my family a car and get to a trans sanctuary state!

My partner @magicalgrrrl and I are transgender, autistic people with complex trauma, and chronic pain conditions. Us and our two cats are living out of an extended stay hotel, and are trying to get a vehicle so we can get to a safer location and hopefully get back on our feet.

We are artists, as well, so donating isn’t the only way to help; any size donation and any form of support is greatly appreciated.

We both have our own music and merch, and I take digital art commissions, which are 50% off all month to support our survival efforts.

If you decide you’d like to listen to either of our music, get custom art, or donate any amount through Venmo, cash app, or PayPal, please find it in my hyperfollow:
https://hyperfollow.com/LukeOrion

Good morning! Please boost to help my family get a car so we can go to a trans sanctuary state!

My partner & I are homeless, disabled & trans people with 2 cats. We make music & art: we’re asking for support through that, as well as donations.

We are $6,365 away from this goal. Any contribution counts, no matter how small it might be. Thank you!

Our donation links, music, and art are all available here:

Plopping this here because streaming my music helps my little family get a car and I’d love it if people found out they like my music

If you don’t use Spotify I’m on other music platforms too, some of which are linked here: https://hyperfollow.com/LukeOrion

I’m hoping my first album is on the way this year… but we have to get through what we’re going through first

Please boost to help my family get a car!

Hi, my partner @magicalgrrrl and I are homeless, autistic with other disabilities, and trans with two cats. We are artists, fundraising to get a vehicle so we can go to a transgender sanctuary state to try getting back on our feet.

We each make music, and have merch available. I take digital art commissions, which are 50% off all of February, and I’m working on 2 books (an autobiography & a family/kids’ book).

Any contribution towards our efforts means the world right now, as we are searching for hope for our future. I keep everything in my hyperfollow. If you decide to support in any way, thank you.

It’s free for anyone to follow my Patreon, but seeing as my family is trying to secure a stable future for ourselves, as #homeless, #disabled & #trans artists, I’d really appreciate any shop purchases, art #commissions, streaming our music, #Patreon subscriptions, and donations!

Please do not let the efforts stop here. We are sheltered for this week, that is all we have guaranteed.

My partner and I are homeless, disabled and trans in America, with 2 cats, and are desperately trying to get a vehicle.

Boosts are encouraged and greatly appreciated. We need donations to get out of this situation. My digital art commissions are available on sale all month, and my partner & I make music, which are both ways to support alongside donating.

Please find the ways to support here:

We have no food to eat tomorrow and nothing towards the shelter funds for next week, and the fundraiser hasn’t been moving along much either, leaving me with a lot of dread.
If anyone can support by getting art at a low price or donate, please do. We are homeless, disabled, and trans in America and need support. Boosts are greatly appreciated!

This is a hail Mary in attempt to secure funds for my disabled, queer family to escape homelessness.

If you are on TikTok, please give me a boost, as this will only help if we can get this to enough people’s FYPs.

If you can support, or would prefer to check out my music, my partner’s music, or commission me for art instead of donating, please visit my hyperfollow. The RV fundraiser and the linked TikTok provide much of the context of our struggle. Any support is appreciated, including boosting. Thank you.
