Trans Male Needs Security
Donation protected
Three months ago I finally started my journey towards transitioning from FTM. I began taking testosterone and even though I've been living in a home environment that was not accepting and where my mother was refusing to acknowledge that I was transgender, I was happy knowing that I was finally taking the steps and making it happen.
I currently live with my mother because I have a soon-to-be 27 year old brother who is autistic. I took care of him. My mother was never around until after our father passed away and she had no choice but to take him in. But I've been here to look out for him. And I thought it was going really well. I figured my mother just needed time to accept my transition and that everything would be okay because of my brother. Because we work together to take care of him. Boy, was I wrong.
Today I was faced with a decision. I can either stop transitioning and continue to live with my mother and my brother, or I can continue my transition and do so away from my family. The decision was hard. But I've come too far, I've been too happy knowing I was finally getting to start being who I was that if I stop in order to stay around my brother, it will kill me. And I've come to realize that I am not able to stick around because I have nothing to offer my brother if I'm too depressed and hurting on a daily basis to even function. So it's time for me to go.
For my own mental health and safety, I'm trying to get out of here as quickly as possible. But the money I made was for taling care of my brother. Which means that the friends of mine who are being so kind as to take me in until I get on my feet are taking all the financial burden that comes with this whole situation. So I'm asking for help. For whatever you can offer just to help me get by and help me pay back the people who are putting so much into making sure I'm safe.
And even if you can't donate, please just keep me in your thoughts. I'm literally losing everything. My brother, my dogs, and because of the short notice and how I have no money, anything that I can't pack in my suitcase.
