Help Sinny Move to Safety and Stability

Donation protected
I was working as a teacher in a conservative county. I came out as trans near the end of the year. While most of the staff and many students supported me, I had trouble during these last few days. A student took an unflattering picture of me without my knowledge or consent. Their parents spread this on Facebook and other social media platforms. Because of this, I received death threats from multiple strangers and needed to take assault leave. I already had PTSD, and this exacerbated it. In the first few weeks, whenever I would go anywhere, I'd receive stares whether I was dressing as a woman or going "boymode." I have also been harassed in public by strangers who recognized me from the picture. I do not feel safe here.

I sought employment in various other states to no avail. I'm moving across the country to the west coast where I have a better support network. I have friends there and a ready roommate. I can better seek employment near a big city, whatever avenue I seek. I need to get out by October 20th to avoid weather complications. I also definitely don't want to be here after the election no matter the outcome.

Things I need money for:

Moving expenses. I need gas, food, and hotel expenses so I can safely travel across the country while trans.
Rent, utilities, and food. While I have rent money for the first few months, I want to ensure that I have a cushion so I can be safe and comfortable.
A mattress. I'm not going to be able to take my mattress across the country, so I'll need to get that.
Unexpected issues. I've already had an unexpected $700 for car maintenance, and I want to ensure I have at least some money in case of an emergency.
