Help Us Move Out
Donation protected
My name is David, I am 21 and I'm a FtM Transgender. I currently live with my fiancee Bennett in Vancouver Wa.
A little about us both:
Bennett and I met cosplaying at Sakuracon in Seattle in 2014. It was the first year I had ever cosplayed from the TV show Supernatural and it was the first year Bennett had ever cosplayed at Sakuracon. We started dating and last October he moved in with me. We were enganged this last Sakuracon, with myself proposing to him.
We are pre-transitioned transmen.
About our situation: (UPDATE AT BOTTOM)
My parent's are very strict and treat us as second class citizens most of the time, berating us for our life choices. (Bennett and I are both transmen, my mother does not believe that gay's should be in society, and I have not come out as Transgender to my mother because of how transphobic she is, at one point in time saying that transgenders should die.) (Now I do love my parent's and they do some amazing stuff for us but my mother uses this often to try and guilt trip me)
We were planning on moving and the move out date was the first of the year because we needed to save money for paying part of the rent, moving truck (paying back peope who are helping us move), and misc things we need to help us move.
But I told my mother and she went crazy. She said if we are moving out we need to be out as soon as possible and no waiting till the first of the year and that we would not make it and we would fail. She then told us we needed to be out within a month - two months. Now we don't have any money hardly and we are scrambling to find jobs in time and if we can't we will be out on the street until we can pay for it.
Staying isn't an option, especially now as we both are trans, engaged and I have found a religion that is not accepted by my parent's views. (All three make me the bad person to my mother) And we are just looking for some money that can help us and so we can repay back when we could.
I set the amount low because I don't think we need too much and we don't want to have to pay back that much in the future. Even if you can't pay we would love if you could help out in some way even though we aren't sure how.
I hope we can make this move super easy for us and not too stressful and I know that we have a great support of friends and we really need just any support we can get, emotionally or financially.
Thank you.
UPDATE: We have moved out finally but we are in a tight spot with rent. We are having a hard time finding a job (we have looked for several months) and I barely make enough by myself to pay the rent and live. Any little bit to pay towards rent a month helps us.
