Help Me Move Out
Donation protected
Hey everyone,
I really sincerely hate doing two of the things I'm about to do. The first is delve into my personal life. And the second is asking people for financial help. I really, really don't like doing that.
But here I am asking both of those things.
I'll keep this as short and sweet as possible.
Currently, my permanent home is an environment that I simply do not feel emotionally safe in. My family there has emotionally abused me in the past and still continue to do so. In the past, I have been repeatedly told by my family to kill myself, that I would cause my mother to kill herself (with specific plan attached), among many other things. My occasional form of variation in gender expression has been completely ridiculed and antagonized. In therapy this past week I have admitted that being in that environment makes me suicidal. As such, I currently feel that I would be a danger to myself if I remained in that house. My mother refuses to acknowledge that the environment poses any sort of danger to me, and also refuses to acknowledge that she has ever emotionally abused me. There has also been some physical abuse in the past as well, but I won't get into that here.
I am living in an apartment until July 30th at 12 noon, when I will have to move out and find somewhere else to live. Going back home is just not an option any more. I just can't do that to myself.
I know that this is such a short timeframe (28 days) in which to ask, but I'm expecting that I will be pretty much on my own once I refuse to come home, and any amount you donate will help so, so much. I am currently unemployed but plan on looking for a job once I get my housing all sorted out. Of course I'll keep this going after the 28 days are up, but it'd be so great to have a good bit to keep me on my feet as I move out.
I have seen fundraisers do some really amazing things. I mean, some really, really amazing things - and I'm hoping you lovely folks can pull a rabbit out of the hat for me on this one.
I would sincerely appreciate any donation amount, or a signal boost to a friend who you know could donate something. Every bit counts, and every bit is so, so appreciated.
If you even took the time to read all of this, you have my sincerest thanks, my deepest gratitude.
Thank you so much.
