Help Jake Live
Donation protected
Jake is a 19 year old transgender guy living in England.
For the past few months, he has been facing difficulties at home leading to now where his family are cutting off his use of basic facilities like water, electricity, the kitchen and internet. Along with all this, he has been told his door will be removed from his bedroom, leaving him with no privacy.
These things will result in him not being able to eat a warm meal, charge his phone to contact anyone, apply for housing/jobs and have privacy to sleep or get changed. His family refuse to formally kick him out, however it is clear that he is being forced to do so.
Those conditions are no way for a person to live, and no one should ever have to have their basic human rights compromised by parental figures.
As said previously, Jake is transgender and has thus far recieved no respect or support from people at home in making him feel more comfortable with himself. He is treated unfairly in comparison to his siblings with belief it is because of his transition.
This fundraiser is to pay for rent of a room in a house share for 2 months - working on a weekly basis - while he searches for work in the local area. Jake does currently have a job and enough for a deposite, but his money also needs to stretch for food and travel expenses. He is a musician and will offer a small compilation of music to anyone that donates.
Jake and I would never ask for financial support if it wasn't absolutely neccessary, with Jake himself saying that he's not using the internet just because he can and that he's definitely not using this platform as an easy way out.
It has got to the point where Jake cannot physically live in this transphobic, manipulative environment and needs to move out immediately before more things like his possessions are being threatened.
This fundraiser has been set up by Alex, his boyfriend and I want to give a massive thank you to anyone that will donate. I have seen Jake try to work and reason around these problems yet be forced further into this situation.
Again, we'd both like to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting us through our endevors.
