A Continous Struggle

Donation protected
My name is Catelyn, I am 22 years old and here is my story. I had been living in a toxic and abusive environment since I was a child, watching my mom go through it with my father, and then soon it started to happen to me. The abuse never stopped, and it only got worse. Fearing it would never go away, and it would follow me forever I turned 15 and received my workers permit and immediately started to work wherever I could, because I told myself I'd never stay in a home like that, I have been supporting myself since I could last remember, and my work ethic is extraordinary, with a great built resume for a 22 year old. 18 years old I left, with as much money as I had saved up and moved in with my friend and her family paying them only $200 dollars a month. I am now 22 years old, and within the last two years? I have bounced around from home to home 13 times. I finally had my own home, something I worked for so hard that I could call my own, but I had a house fire in November and everything was taken from me.Thankful as I am my brother has allowed me to stay with him until I could get back on my feet. But I will only have so long until it's time for me to go. The reason for me being on this page is because I'm hoping a select few who read this story, my story.. help me get myself back on track in stability and security of my own home again which will require first months rent, last months rent and a security deposit, to allow myself to regain structure so I can focus on a job, and school. I can't repack my stuff a 14th time. I have an outstanding work ethic, but with how many times I have moved, it has made me relocate each and every time. Whatever it may be, a like or a share, or a donation, my story is out there now to the public. As hard as life has been, I haven't given up yet and I don't plan to anytime soon. I understand there's many out there with much worse situations, but I pray everyday it can become even the slightest bit easier for myself. God Bless each and every individual out there.

With the power of the Lord, there's nothing we can't accomplish.
