getting out of a dark situation
Donation protected
I’m raising money for my mother, little sisters, little brothers, & myself. We are in a very tough situation. Let me tell a little backstory: My mom had me at 13. She had a very abusive stepdad that her mother just would never find the strength to leave. So my mom used to run away at the age of 11 & 12 years old. She got pregnant, had me. Fast forward to now & she has 5 children: me, my sister Ess’Cience, my sister Essieyanna, my brother Reginald, & my baby brother Messiah. For years, we have struggled financially. My mom is disabled & does not work. She has cervical cancer & suffers from anxiety. I am 22 years old & I struggle with panic disorder (as well as depression) and a major part of my trigger is my current situation. Our situation is that we keep having to depend on others that are toxic to help us. I work fulltime at a grocery store but I don’t get paid much. My sister Ess’Cience, who is 18, is a college student. Over the years, we have seen our mom fight with sudden illness, as well as these men that claimed to love her & us. It’s part of the reason why I didn’t finish high school—I was so tired from being up with my mom at age 14 & 15 trying to make sure she was okay. Well...now we’re in a terrible situation much worse than that one. The emotional & mental abuse that we’ve endured is almost unbearable & everyday I have wanted to die. I’ve cried, gotten angry, popped off, vented to people, & everything else. But I am tired. I’m too suicidal for this. I’m too fed up for this. And I love my family too much for this. We need to get out of this situation but don’t have the money to get up & move anywhere. So I am reaching out for help. If you can donate anything at all to us, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
