Donate to Clover's Road Trip to Recovery

My name is Clover, a very small-time artist/creative/streamer, and I am raising funds in a plea for getting my life back together.
On April 15th, 2024, things have gone extremely downhill for me since losing my partner, Corn, to their lifelong battle with cancer. I was unable to attend the memorial service, I later lost my minimum-wage job at the start of October last year, and my depression has marginally worsened as time went on. I have been completely unable to find work since then, as it has now been 3/4ths of a year since being let go. Staffing constraints and the squeezing grip of capital took me from the simplest job I could possibly get as a highly neurodivergent, nonbinary, and socially anxious person trying to just get by in life: stocking drinks at a gas station.
I am now making plans to move back in with family in Quincy, MA with a very expensive trip starting on the 18th of June this very month, with currently only $1.70 to my name and bank account as of writing this. For this, I'm appending a direct link to my PayPal as well to the image I'll be providing, as I cannot afford even basic food without constant support from certain well-off friends and fans. Those few with dearest patronage to support me month after month with rent and groceries, I can currently only count on two hands.
The funds will be going towards:
- Remaining bills and fees associated with my current residence,
- Over $900 to cover my father's expenses with the moving van,
- An initial $600-800 to pay for the first month of residence under his roof again for the first time in years,
- And about $400 just to try and get clothing, groceries, and basic necessities as I resume job hunting, asking for commissions, and generally continuing my streaming of video games that I adore to help cover things.
Following a long set of months of deliberation, only now as the day nears do I bring myself to the hard decision of asking for major financial assistance here via GoFundMe, as I am already finding myself lapsing into terrible thought patterns and negligent/destructive behaviors whilst finding it harder and harder to keep up in life.
Any amount above this goal in increments of $800 would make my heart soar, as I've been nearly subject to extreme starvation and depressive fasting without the help of dear friends of mine. I want to break free from this cycle and get my life back in order.
Everything that can be contributed, regardless of how big or little, will mean the world to me as proof that random acts of kindness and the goodness of strangers can be something to rely on. I've lived my life shying away from the deeply upsetting and I ask for your kindness and generosity as I've now reached the lowest point of my life and hope to reverse gears to begin again.
Thank you for your time in reading my story.
I hope to spread word of better and brighter days in the rough, rough months to come.
