Help Us Survive for the Month

Hi, I'm Scarlett, and beside me is my partner, Jo. We're a queer couple in the Philippines. Please help us as we need funds to pay for our housing, medication (for diabetes, mental health issues, and HRT), and food.

Unfortunately, due to my partner being dismissed from their job because of client complications last month, they had to spend the entirety of this month looking for work. And the only job she managed to find, only starts next week, and the pay only comes next month past the date when our rent is due which is on March 15, my partner's pay will come on March 21. I've been able to supplement it with some of my own money for the past two months, but it's not enough for the both of us, especially with rent. Additionally, we were sharing our place with another person to split the costs of rent, but she moved out abruptly without even helping find someone else to replace her, and up to now, we still haven't been able to find a replacement, so we've been covering the missing amount of rent payments.

For a breakdown of what the money will be used for:

Rent: Which amounts to 19000 PHP or about 339 Dollars. For this, I already have some money of my own to pay part of it, it is mainly my partner's part and the one we cover for while we look for a replacement roommate.

Medication: For the both of us. We both take medication for Type 2 Diabetes which are both getting expensive nowadays. Additionally, I am medically transitioning taking HRT, that I cannot stop abruptly or else I would be getting serious side effects that would cause me harm. My partner is also diagnosed Bipolar 1, which they also need to take medication for.

Food: The past month and a half, I've had to budget our meals to make sure we get to eat enough, but even then...

All these are what we need help with for the following month. We tried to get by, find part-time jobs, do gigs here and there to get money, but we've still come up short. If anyone can give just a bit, we would truly be grateful. Or if you really can't, just sharing this around would really help.
