Aid Yvonne in Overcoming Financial Hardship

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Yvonne/Arlo , I am now 19. Back in September I made a GoFundMe for my mother that raised over 12 thousand dollars. I am incredibly thankful for all that has helped but unfortunately, moving into my god-parents home was a mistake.

Back in September, I moved to North Carolina with my God-parents who completely disrespected me and ran my funds dry. They made me pay for everything from groceries, to paying back a car they bought me without me wanting the car, to paying for a U-Haul to move all my stuff from Louisiana to N.C. I have ran my credit card up to afford those groceries as they refused to pay for my food. I was told to go on food-stamps while living with them but that turned into my God Mother wanting my food-stamps for her own shopping.
Not only did they hold this money over my head as well, they both are extreme alcoholics to the point where I would be spam-texted hurtful messages about me and my mother who once again, is dead. My mental health has spiraled while living with them until I ran away and got my own apartment about 3 hours away.

Right now, I work 3 jobs to try and sustain myself but with my mental health currently falling apart, constant burn-out and the cost of living alone, I cannot afford to live without a sacrifice whether its my electricity, food, internet, or gas in my car. I have no money left and I am terrified of going homeless.

Where im staying has an online college that I can get into so I know this will not be forever with this financial insecurity but I need help now.

I am asking for whatever help I can get even if that's a dollar or .50 cents.

Thank you for reading.
