Support Dusky's Move to a Safer Home

Hi! I’m Glamrock Dusky, just Dusky for short.

I’m a video essayist Youtuber who also streams/develops horror and retro games.

My audience may or may not already know this, but I currently live in what I’d consider an abusive household - examples/proof of this further below (in a google docs link, for proper image embeds, and so i can add more easily if I'm able to find some additional receipts).

Those responsible for that perception - my parents, primarily my dad - may not consider it such and if they find out about this fundraiser, I’ll be in for hell - so this MUST be kept from them no matter what.

AKA - PLEASE DO NOT SPEAK ABOUT THIS ON YOUTUBE WHETHER THAT BE ON STREAM OR OTHERWISE.

Let’s get into why I’m even doing this.

Yeah, I’m 24, living with my parents, and I know this is pathetic, but I also just need help and I’m at the end of my rope.

I really need to move out of this house, but I’ve had trouble finding a job quickly that won’t majorly burn me out. I work part time at a park now so thankfully I am not relying only on YouTube income anymore, but JUST Park and Youtube combined don’t pay enough for me to be able to afford to move out any time soon.

So, I’ve been told by friends and my community to set up a fundraiser so that I can get somewhere safer sooner. With the funds from this, I’d be able to get settled somewhere closer to work (It’s a 40 minute commute right now), leave my unsafe household and be able to pay rent and the security deposit + any other fees while I hopefully get a more high-paying job or get Youtube to the point where it can mostly carry my expenses when combined with the Park income.

My parents have informed me that if I do not apply to a certain number of jobs per week, they will turn off the hot water or even confiscate my PC.

I get it. It doesn’t mean I like it or want to deal with it. Plus, I pay them rent now so that combined with the water thing is irritating considering I already pay per month so why make it worse anyway?
