1st Gen. Immigrant Queer P.o.c

Hello, I am a First Generation Immigrant Women who is a student a Western Washington University.  I moved to America when I was 9 and currently am living with a very conservative family who is not supportive of me as a queer women. The only supportive person is my older brother, who is currently in Oregon for school. I am currently studying to become an Electrical Engineering and working hard towards a chance to move out of my toxic living situation. Since the degree takes a full three years, I will be living at home until I graduate and find a stable job to support myself.

However recently, thing's have gotten significantly worst after I came out. My family have became more abusive and will even use threat tactics to manipulate me to doing things that I do not want to do. They have use violent forces to scare my friends away (like throwing stuff at my friend outside our house), verbally abuse me and even hid my phone so I couldn't use it to contact for help. Despite all this, I have contacted help and currently have a support system to use in emergencies. 

With these funds, I hope to be able to move out, break away from my toxic family and possibly start receiving mental health from a professional. I am currently talking to a health counselor and figuring out ways to reach out and get help. Through your generous support, I hope to move into a safe environment and work hard so that in the future, I will be able to give back or help others, who are struggling like me. Anything will help, your support will be greatly appreciated, thank you.

PLEASE READ: Please do not share this on my Facebook because my family follows me!! But feel free to send it to friends/family/mentors that would be willing to help me!! Thank you so much for your support!!
