Help a queer black person get out of Florida

Donation protected

I moved from Georgia to Florida last year in March to escape my abusive family. I moved in with some more open-minded folks and worked by doing Doordash making about $500 a week, but in June my brake pistons broke, the water pump was broken, and I had an oil leak. I was on my way back from an order when I started getting rod-knock and then my engine completely locked up on me when I pulled in to park at home. I had to junk my car to make rent for that month and spent the next 2 weeks looking for a job. I finally landed one as a brand ambassador for the ASPCA, but ended up being scammed out of my paychecks along withany others in the job because we didn't "make enough sales". My boss was never in the field with us and always complained about a lack of results. From July to October I quickly got paid less and less until I was just going in and showing up with no pay. Because of this I ended up getting evicted and having to move into a padsplit where I pay rent every week. I finally landed a job at CVS last November and I've been working there until last week when I had to evacuate for Hurricane Milton. I informed my manager of my evacuation and he has proceeded to remove me from the schedule entirely. Now I'm struggling to figure out how to make this week's rent and plan to leave Florida, but I don't know what to do. I still don't have a car and my mental, physical, and emotional state has taken a massive nose dive. My depression is damn near killing me with my chronic illness (Elhers Danlos Syndrome) and my s**cidal thoughts are getting worse. Any and all help is needed and appreciated.
