Empower Raemi's Fight for a Better Life
Donation protected
**PLEASE READ**
Hello! My name is Raemi, I'm 19 and from CT. I have POTS and an undiagnosed seizure disorder that I am working to get diagnosed. I also have moments where I am unable to walk or speak, and due to these issues I am unable to join the workforce.
I have also applied for SSI (Supplemental Security Income) numerous times and have been denied each time.
I'm attempting to fundraise in order to escape a toxic familial situation. Family has been a lifelong struggle, but over the past few months it's genuinely reached a breaking point. My parents have been hiding my Metoprolol that I am required to take for my POTS and haven't given it back to me in about a month. They've also been emotionally abusing me; I often find myself on the receiving end of a manipulation tactic from my parents, and when I call them out on it, or ask them to stop it doesn't typically end well for me. They have also been physically abusive. They hit and push me.
The goal of this fundraiser is to raise enough money for me to at least begin my adult life without the stress and restrictions my parents put on me. The money raised from this GoFundMe would go toward Health Insurance, medication, a place to stay, and a cheap phone bill.
Thank you for your support.
