Hello everyone,

This is regarding Keris, also known as RiikkaTheIcePrincess. Link to the previous post.

The last post that I made about Keris got a lot of engagement. She was able to get some financial help and other support, which was great, however their housing situation is still non-existent. The person who offered to let them stay in a couple of weeks fell through, so they have nowhere to go. Keris did make it safely to Minneapolis and is staying in a hotel until Monday. That means that they need a place to stay ASAP.

They really, really, need a place to stay while they search for a job. This is the thing that they most need right now. If anybody in the Minneapolis area has a spare bed, couch, or floor for her to sleep on, that would be a lifesaver. Seriously. Even if it’s just for a week or a few days, it would be a huge help and would keep them off the streets for the time being while they figure things out and get back on their feet.

I understand that this isn’t the usual type of content on this community, but it’s a very time sensitive thing. There are projects in the works to assist future people who are in need on here, but for now this is all there is.

Keris said that she greatly appreciates everyone who has helped out with advice, support, resources, and donations so far.

Edit: Read her comment below for some corrections and clarifications.

    Yup, we are a bit further north. But it’s an option if things fall apart down in Minneapolis.

    A little more context, my wife and I are self-diagnosed neurodivergent DINKS with five cats and two dogs.

    Our house has a fenced yard right on the bus line in a walkable neighborhood. And we know plenty of left-minded younger people in town.

    And if you’re from rural Oklahoma, Duluth is a little more your speed than Minneapolis. We somehow kept a small town feel.
