HELP ME KEEP MY APARTMENT
Donation protected
Hey everyone!
This is definitely something new for me, something I never would have expected to have to do so I'm feeling a bit shaky and nervous. I just want to already thank you for even looking at this and/or considering donating.
I'll cut right to the nitty gritty:
Early morning on August 28th of this year, my now ex-boyfriend assaulted me at the apartment we shared, in the city I moved to in order to be with him. Proper legal action was taken and now he no longer lives in the apartment with me.
I was left nothing in the process. My car was not working, I had overdue bills from where my ex boyfriend spent my bill money on things other than bills, and rent was due the next week. I spent all my money trying to maintain the apartment. Which I was thankfully able to accomplish.
The issue that is now at hand is that the apartment's lease was in my ex boyfriend's name and I was only an occupant. I am now being forced to apply for the apartment myself. I'm sure a lot of you have been through that and are unfortunately familiar with that money-gripping process. A deposit. First month's rent. The whole enchilada.
I am supporting myself and two cats. I work 7 days a week trying to keep everything together. I need your help to keep my apartment! I have survived a physically and emotionally abusive relationship; I was so fortunate to be able to take proper legal action and get myself out of the deathgrip of domestic abuse. The horror stories of people locked in abusive relationships with no exit are not simply myths and tall tales. This happens to so many people every single day and some don't ever get the chance to ask for help.
I got that chance. And now I am asking you for your help.
Here is an outline of my expenses:
Deposit for apartment: $200
First month's rent: $445
Electricity activation: $140
I am kicking and screaming to keep this apartment, to not end up without a place to live. This is my home, the one I made in this city and I don't want to lose it! Any amount of donation will be thoroughly and whole heartedly appreciated! Even if it's only $1, the thought will show me that people out there are aware of the horror that is abusive relationships and are willing to help and support the victims and survivors.
If you read this and would like to help, but do not have the money, I encourage you to volunteer at your local women's and children shelter!
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! THIS MEANS THE ABSOLUTE WORLD TO ME!
With absolute best regards,
Hannah
