help black trans youth move out of abusive home

   Hello, my name is Iyanna. I am a 20 year old college student and illustrator. As of recently, I have been offered a place to stay, but for rent I
have not yet reached my goal money-wise. I have 6 months worth of rent saved, and I have been struggling to make the money I need to focus in an abusive home where I only feel safe if I lock my door before I sleep, or while I am working in my room. sometimes I have to leave the house and visit a friend to get away. My abuser in question is my older sibling. They become physically and verbally abusive on a daily basis, goes on transphobic rants in my face, grabs me, comes into my room to take stuff from me— as the next semester approaches, I will be working remotely, and I cannot afford to stay in my home for my mental health. On August 18, I made plans to officially move out after my door was almost broken down. Moving out is something I thought I’d never be able to do. I have been dealing with this abuse for a good year or two. There were times where they beat me over a piece of clothing they had been keeping from me for months when I was looking for it in their room (after they told me to look), or where they’d go on homophobic and transphobic rants in my face and invalidate my identity in front of my whole family. No one helps me, so I must help myself as this is the environment I do not belong in. I have been working hard to save, but my momentum and mental health has been slowing and I need help from my community. Anything helps, and thank you for taking the time to read this if you did. I can’t name every single traumatizing thing that has happened to me— but I want to finally break out of this toxic home and continue to create and get my education in a safe and clean environment. 

(I used they/them pronouns on my abuser in case they see this— for my safety and to hide their identity)
