TRIGGER WARNING: MENTAL ILLNESS IS MENTIONED IN THE DOCUMENT
This fund is my for my friend who wants to stay anonymous due to safety but this is what she wanted to say:
I also know that GoFundMe takes a portion of proceeds for itself, so if you would rather donate to me through Venmo, my Venmo is: @T-S-1-165
The Costs:
Any money from anybody would be appreciated so:
1. I can have housing until I can find a full-time job with benefits
2. To support me in possibly getting my own health insurance so I can get treatment somehow, because I don't want to live life with an eating disorder, and I don't want to have to wait until I get my Master's to get treatment again because that will be three years from now
3. To help me with groceries
4. To help me with the car insurance/maintaining my car (oil changes, smog checks, etc.)
5. To help me with gas expenses
The Backstory:
I (Tina) was recently kicked out of an Eating Disorder Treatment Center (I didn't do anything awful - the Google Document explains everything), I am 21, and I was discharged out of residential, still very sick and barely eating, but since I didn't transfer, they discharged me to the streets. They gave me a one week warning and didn't follow up with a safety check, making sure I had housing, and making sure I had money for food. There was no discharge plan. My story is in this Google Document, and it explains everything, but I can try and make a long story short. I was struggling so the center wanted me to transfer, and I can't because of my parents constantly threatening to kick me off their health insurance. They also won't allow me home.
I currently have no home to live and am in an Airbnb until Saturday morning, but since I am graduating, there isn't much SJSU or College Funds can help me with because I won't be a student. My degree needs a Master's to practice, so it's pretty much worthless right now as well and I didn't get into a Master's Program for this Fall. I don't have enough money for housing to sustain myself, and I am really sick from my eating disorder. I am not allowed to go back to treatment and if I do my parents will kick me of our health insurance plan which I really need in case there's an emergency, since our co-pays are not super high.
As soon as I find an Airbnb for a month (which I am having trouble with since they are all over $1,000) they also want to remove me from their car insurance and have me pay that as well.
I'm trying to complete finals this week, but this has been proving to be really hard with all these expenses stressing me out as well as not knowing where to stay, and I am worried about blowing through my savings on Airbnb's.
Furthermore, I am currently eating maybe three granola bars a day because I am sick, but also to save money on food. My SNAP card was going to be mailed to my treatment center, so I don't know what's happening with that and I can't spend money on food when I'm too worried about rent.
How You Can Help: (Feel Free to Share The Link To This GoFundMe As Well)
This situation is REALLY URGENT and I urge you to please read the document I wrote, as it explains what happened in much more detail than I can on here:
To avoid possibly getting in trouble with the company/get sued, I changed all of the staff and patient's names on the Google Docs, so I would like everybody to be aware that these are pseudonyms including my name, which I have put as Tina.

I have made myself anonymous on here as well as on Venmo including any profile pictures to avoid having this circle back to my parents; If any of my family members found this, my parents would cut me off of everything forever. Please understand that by even linking the document with so much identifying information about myself and my life, people could easily figure out who I am, so please understand that removing my name and my image is the smallest thing I could do to protect myself. I would usually never ask for money from anybody, because it feels like begging, but my life is shattered right now and anything would help.
