Help our friend get by after losing his apartment

[ENGLISH]
Our friend Gabriel has been kicked out of his home and needs all the help he can get
Ever since he realised he was gay at the age of 14, Gab's been terrified of his family finding out about his sexuality, since he comes from a very homophobic household, and because of this, their support of him has always felt conditional.
For months now he's been worried about the possibility of his family finding out about his relationship with his long term boyfriend, and recently, it finally happened. After a harsh shower of threats and insults, his parents finally kicked him out.
Even though he's been able to stay with his boyfriend for the time being, he's now left without studies because his family has cut all ties with him and decided to stop paying for his career as well. Ironically, they have been stalking his every move with his credit card transactions and mobile phone location (since both things are to the name of his family) as well as social media activity, which is the reason why we're doing this gofundme and spreading it on his behalf.
Gabriel is currently looking for a job but he needs all the help he can get. He's still legally living with his parents, making him unable to get any financial aid from the Spanish government, for the time being. The sudden nature of the problem has also made it impossible for him to get any resources before it all happened. 1000 euro would be just enough to help him survive, since he's got to pay rent, bills, food, as well as getting his credit and phone cards replaced.
Please share and consider pitching in, any help counts.

Nuestro amigo Gabriel ha sido expulsado de su casa, y necesita ayuda.
Desde que se dio cuenta de su sexualidad a los 14 años, Gabriel ha vivido aterrorizado del momento en que su familia se enterase de la verdad sobre él, ya que vivía en un entorno de homofobia y mentes cerradas. Es por esto que el apoyo de su entorno familiar siempre se sintió condicional para él. Y no se equivocaba, ya que al enterarse de su relación con su actual pareja, y tras recibir una ola de acoso, insultos y amenazas, finalmente le echaron de casa.
A pesar de que ha tenido la suerte de poder quedarse con su novio este tiempo, ahora mismo se ha quedado sin la posibilidad de finalizar sus estudios, ya que su familia ha decidido no pagar las cuotas y matriculas del nuevo año. Gabi ha tenido que lidiar con el constante acoso y control de su familia (vigilandole el teléfono móvil y la tarjeta de crédito, ambas controladas por sus padres) incluso por las redes sociales, la cual es la razón por la que estamos haciendo este GoFundMe en su nombre.
Gabriel está buscando trabajo, pero mientras no tenga nada asegurado, necesita toda la ayuda que le pueda llegar. Legalmente aún "vive" con sus padres, por lo que las ayudas disponibles para jóvenes en situaciones difíciles no están a su alcance por el momento. Con 1000 euros, Gabi seria capaz de reemplazar todos los documentos que aun controla su familia, además de poder pagar alquiler, facturas y comida, mientras que encuentra un trabajo estable.
Si bien parece mentira que en nuestro país se sigan dando casos como este, no es si no otra prueba de que aun debemos seguir reivindicando por los derechos y protección para jóvenes LGTB.
Cualquier ayuda es bien recibida. Si puedes, comparte esto con tus amigos o en redes sociales.
