Get Taey The Heck Outta Hawaii

Donation protected
Hey there. My name is Taey, and I've been a homeless trans woman in my car for 10 out of the 12 months of this year. And I'm absolutely tired of the continually stacking troubles, and I can barely keep myself fed and gassed up. Literally and figuratively.
To this end, I really, really need help in getting myself gone from here. While I love Hawaii, and how beautiful it is, I cannot continue to pay the prices I am. Gas is literally $40 a day, averaged, and food is at least $10 if I eat lightly. No job will hire me (I have been trying, constantly), and DoorDash, my only source of income, is to be frank… not letting me pay my bills consistently, and is really costing me my car with the mileage and gas I am paying. 

The car, to be honest is failing. It is becoming harder to maintain with time. Last week was a cascade of several issues all at once. Most importantly, the tires and the air conditioning. (Air conditioning is a must due to how hot it is up here) Tires were thankfully taken care of by some very generous people, but there's no way to fix the A/C, and my money would be better placed in moving somewhere where I know I have a home. Where I can grow rather than be stuck here where I am forced to rely on others for help. 

My budget is very simple and may change but this seems reasonable for expenses..

I am budgeting $500 for a flight out (or a few, however it works out).

$100 for food over the course of the flights. (This may be less, I have no idea! But its going to be at least a 30 hour flight time most likely based on what I have looked up)

About $30-80 for a suitcase. (They have become expensive for who knows what reason!!!)

I will need $50-100 for transport costs like a taxi or similar.

I will need winter clothing, which is another $50 minimum potentially.

I do not know about a hotel during a layover, and anything over these goals or not spent will be kept aside as an emergency fund after I land.

Any way you can spread this around will be very greatly appreciated, and thank you for all consideration. If you cannot donate, please retweet or pass along in what manners you wish.. 

I want to leave as soon as possible as I have found someone willing to take me in in a place far more conducive to me getting myself a better career and make it so I no longer need to live out of my car. I will pay forward this help someday and other help I have received.
