To say leaving an abusive family situation and moving out on my own has been simple would be a lie. Of course, it was not made any simpler by autism. It only took about 8 months for it to go downhill, mostly related to unexpected costs. I've managed to squeak by, with help from some friends on occasion, but these last 4 months have been some of the worst when it comes to medical costs for my elderly cat, emergencies, and on top of that, mental health. Each month I'm just playing catch-up from the last month, and it has just continued to compound. All these compounding factors have drastically affected my mental health, to the point I was considering drastic choices when at my lowest.

And it's not like I've simply sat on my hands doing nothing to improve my situation. I've put in numerous applications at locations throughout my town, and even the nearby military base, yet to no avail. I've attempted to sell numerous items; however, I don't have much of anything, especially of value, to sell. I've tried loans, but the aforementioned family situation tanked my credit score, part of the reason I got out of it. So I am at a loss for what more I can do given the limited options in rural Alaska, as moving is not an option due to the cost of that and not having a proper vehicle.

While I have managed to come to an agreement with my landlord regarding being behind a month in rent, it is a temporary solution, and I still owe this month's rent. I'll have about 75% of my rent on the 30th, but will still owe roughly $800. Hence why I am turning to this site once again, as I do face the very real possibility of eviction.

Eviction without even the possibility of returning to the less than ideal family situation I was in prior.

Any extra money donated beyond the goal would go towards paying future rent and bills, such as my electric bill, of which I am also a month behind.

Any help, or even sharing this fundraiser, is appreciated as I am at my rope's end.
