HELP A QUEER BLACK WOMAN MOVE TO A SAFE HOME

Donation protected
Hi, I am asking to keep my identity anonymous out of fear my family will find this, I’m a 20 yr old black queer woman whose also a student. My living conditions have become worse during the pandemic and I have found it extremely hard to keep my well-being great during this time.

I am lucky enough to have some dear dear friends in bristol who have been able to help with this fundraiser until the end of July, as I fear I will become homeless as my homophobic parents have made it clear to me they will not accept me and my identity, I am effectively on my own and that.

I will be leaving home with barely any resources, I do also plan on securing a better paying job as soon as the economy has been fully opened up.

Desperate at this point for any help. As a queer black woman, I know that the cards are stacked against me, and that if I do not raise the money I need for my own housing/food/transportation/school soon, I will likely have to resort to returning back to their home instead of securing the safe space I so desperately need during these uncertain times. And moreover, with my university degree at risk now, I feel I have no choice but to make my situation as transparent as I can.

I am truly begging you, please help/share this wherever you can as I truly have no other options at this point.

The cost of living in Bristol is quite a bit now and  I do not want to move out of my city because I really need the emotional support of my chosen family/friends and hope to finish my bachelors degree.

I am hoping to raise funds for a months worth of housing, moving expenses, living expenses i.e. food, toiletries, health care, phone plan. Adding, I will be looking for job openings in Bristol, anywhere I can so please reach out with any information.

With stable housing of my own I will begin applying for writing fellowships and seek employment in the journalism world (while also finishing school if possible) Thank you kindly for reading and helping me.
