Donation protected
Hi.
I'm Roxie. I'm 25, autistic, queer and intersex/gendernonconforming.
My mental state suffers regularly as a result of being autistic, and while I have a therapist and am actively seeking adaptive treatment to help me improve my quality of life, I am at present severely underemployed and struggle to make endsmeet.
This was made worse when my sexuality/gender identity were both inadvertently outed to my roommates, who are incredibly conservative in their own beliefs. Since this happened, they have done and said several threatening and derogatory things to me, leading me to believe I am no longer safe here.
They have made it clear they want me to leave as well, stating they really need that extra bedroom 'as soon as possible'. They're an older couple who have their children and grandchildren stay here intermittently, and have worried vocally about me 'corrupting them'. Neither of these were issues previous to me being outed, I had babysat their grandchildren several times - for free - without issues, and they had told me not even a month ago that i was welcome to stay as long as i needed to.
I had every intention of keeping those things about me to myself in order to have a safe place to stay, but since that agency was taken from me and this place no longer /feels/ safe, I know it is time to move on.
However, this is something I need help with. I have been saving and have /some/ money squared away, however, it is not enough to meet the basic costs of living elsewhere. I need to anticipate the cost of rent & any possible deposit, deposits for utilities, and costs for basic needs such as food and gas, as well as continuing my mental and medical care.
I am hoping to be out by April 1st. My projected goal is in anticipation of costs I cannot cover, with consideration for the fees gofundme takes out of each donation.
