Unstable and Unpredictable Situation

Donation protected

Hello, everyone who may be reading this. My name is Devonte and I'm 19 years old.  A couple weeks ago my dad contracted COVID-19, which he later died of on August 2nd. This sent my family into a very strange situation, as my dad pretty much was the only one keeping our living situation stable (my mom is disabled so she can't really do much). This forced my grandparents to step in and move us from Atlanta, Georgia to Orlando, Florida. I respect them for helping us, but my grandparents have a bad impression of me due to past family issues and are largely unsupportive of me. After a few weeks of staying here things have grown uncertain for me, and I find myself in a weird situation.

 

 

Despite my relationship with my grandparents, I still felt secure staying with them for the moment until I was able to get into a stable situation. I was in the process of trying to set myself up to go to Job Corps, however my mom talked to my grandparents about feeling uncomfortable and wanting to move back to Iowa, which is when my situation became uncertain. They concluded that after my father's funeral (the 28th of August) she and I would be moving to Iowa. I was also told that my mom would always be welcome back to their home, and that I wasn't. This brings me to why I'm asking for help. 

 

I am not moving back up to Iowa with my mother because I would end up in the same situation with unsupportive family members and an unstable environment. I’ve decided that the best thing to do would be to move back up to Atlanta on my own to stay around my friends and people who support me until I can get into job corps. I don't really have anybody to stay with, and not a lot of money, but I really am trying to avoid staying with these people who have caused me trauma. I've been dealing with that for years, and it needs to stop. I want to decide on my own and have some sort of freedom from the people in my life who have always put others above me. 

 

I plan to use the money for a place to stay (potentially), food, and whatever necessities I might need. I want to be at least somewhat financially stable if I do end up being homeless. It will also go towards my plane ticket, and whatever traveling expenses in general. I really appreciate everyone who decides to support me. It's fine if you don't give anything, I appreciate anyone who even took time to read and consider helping.
