A new Start

Hello, our names are Stephanie and Aysia we're two best friends since high school. Aysia and I work together, draw together and go to school together.

we've been working  on setting aside a budget to move for years now, working hard while going to school,

Unfortunately, Aysia was a victim of an apartment fire where she lost most of her things. She owns a mattress, a laptop ( which I gifted her since it was an old one ), her sketchbooks. and finally, hand me down clothes and shoes.

We live in an abusive household where we get little to no help.

Aysia works part-time and works hard to take care of her mother who constantly dips into her banking,
Aysia already has so little and on top of it all, she works to pay off her mom's bills because her boyfriends couldn't keep up.

Aysia hates this amount of pressure on her and only wishes to work and go to school so she no longer has to return to her retail job. 

My father is very aggressive and gets exceedingly angry every day. 

My mother has gone under a hip replacement surgery 
where I took care of her because my father refused to.
I bathed her, wiped her, dressed her and medicated her every 3 to 5 hours so she wouldn't be in pain.

She cannot bend past a 90-degree angle in fear of popping out her hip joint. To help take care of her I clean, cook and take care of the animals all while working my part-time job and going to school at Brookhaven college. 

Now my mother and Father are threatening with divorce which gives me two options.
I can stay with my father who as a very problematic anger issue or go with my mother to Oklahoma leaving all of my friends and education behind to live with a family I barely know. I'm working my very best to avoid this problem but it's becoming impossible.

The struggle of work and to provide for a family we both are unhappy with is getting unbearable. Aysia and I have never been people to beg for money. We work as many hours as they can give us, we've even turned our main hobby drawing into a business.



Steph and Asia's work:



that means we work all day Monday through Friday then come home to work more by forcing ourselves to draw. Go to sleep then wake up and go to work. The rinse and repeat are getting exhausting. 

Aysia and I Aren't alone, of course, we'll be having a total of 3 people moving in together, Me, Aysia and our dear friend Jude.

We all plan on working and going to school while paying bills. This fund is just to help us get out the door and give us a kickstart.

Here is what we're looking at, this is the cheapest apartments we could find near work.

2 bedroom 1 bath

Rent: 1000 
pet deposit total: 500
pet fee: 30
application fees: 300
electricity: 300
electricity deposit: 200
water: 200 
water deposit: 100

Once that's all over and done with
we have moving expenses 

moving truck: $200 ( we have 3 houses to pack and unload)

we've been able to grab used boxes from work and other materials so we have that all ready.
If we can get this money raised we can build money in our saving to catch up on bills for the upcoming month and pay off our classes. no money will go to waste.

Aysia and I know our move isn't as urgent or important. it won't be then end of the world. But any help would be greatly appreciated. It would be better for our mental health and education which is our main priority. 

Everyone needs a chance at life and that's all we're asking.
♥ We just want a chance to start a better life for us. ♥
