Housing and survival fund

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Sasha I am a queer chicanx seeking help with housing. I am admittedly really nervous about creating this because im afraid of what will happen if our parent or family found out but we need help. My sister and I need to find safe long term housing for us and our two cats. Our home is an incredibly toxic masculine environment that has ultimately put us at risk. Our household has such a lack of regard for the people around them and Our parent has knowingly exposed the household to Covid and didn’t tell us that they already knew and had been experiencing major symptoms. my sister has a hole in her heart and we don’t know how Covid would affect her. The anger and jumble of emotions i feel right now are extensive and so hard to unpack. we are terrified and heart broken that our own parent would risk us this way. He doesn’t understand the severity of the situation and refuses to see it for what it is. He uses manipulation tactics to make us feel bad about needing to quarantine. we are exhausted of this toxic environment. We know he will continue to expose and risk our safety because he is too prideful to take it seriously, the level of masculinity he exhumes is putting us in danger. Our housemate refuses to get tested and has been traveling none stop. This now means my sister has to stop working and we don’t know what will happen to her income. My unemployment benefits have been dramatically reduced and I am now stunted from being able to find a job or sustain myself as I can’t expose others the way our parent exposed us. We hope that with these funds we’ll be able to pay off bills and use the rest to put a down payment on a safe new home for us and our pets. Even if we just get half of the way to our goal, paying off our bills would help us focus what little income we have to getting out of here. We’ve been trying to get out of here for a very ling time but we can’t do it anymore, we need to get out of here as soon as possible and be able to sustain ourself if our tests come back positive. We are terrified, heartbroken and genuinely in need of help.  We don’t entirely know what to do, we just want to be safe. any guidance or help would be appreciated. Be well and thank you✨
