Help a Trans Woman Escape an Abusive Family

Donation protected
My name is Samantha, a young autistic trans woman from the deep south. For years now I've been desperate to pack up and move across the country, but this turned from a wish into a necessity a year and a half ago, when I realized I was a trans woman. My parents--who I currently live on the dime of--have always been emotionally abusive, exacerbating my mental illness and making it extremely difficult to hold a job by purposefully overworking me, and threatening to cut me off I didn't pay an exorbitant rent from my paycheck, so much so that I couldn't get the help I needed or pay the fees of moving.

Though I have not yet come out to them, they have always been deeply alt-right, and my dad in particular has shown violent tendencies before. I deeply fear what he would do if he were to learn of my gender identity, and so I'm stuck here, unable to find a safe job thanks to COVID and constantly being tread on by my parents.

I've tried everything in my power before turning here, to GoFundMe, but I don't see much of a way forward for me otherwise. Whatever I am given will go immediately toward funding my move as far away from my parents as possible, and to start my life properly and fully. Everything that I'm given will be an immense help and a gift in and of itself better than any I've ever received.

Every little bit goes a long way toward helping me achieve both safety and my life's dream.
