Help a black lesbian couple leave an abusive household!
Donation protected
Hi my name is Jaye (they/them) and I wished I didn’t have to write this. In October 2024 my fiancée (they/them) and I moved in with my parents while we recovered financially after 18mos of financial hardship due to my struggling to find a job and poor mental health.
While I have now got a job, it starts in mid January and our living situation has become increasingly toxic and abusive due to the actions of my mother who routinely disregards mine and my partners physical and mental needs. We both have autism and I also have adhd and issues with chronic pain which is worsening due to an inaccessible environment that also has a mould problem and a lack of central heating.
It was our initial plan to move out in March/April after we had earned enough to save for a deposit for ourselves but recent events have led to my mum now threatening to kick us out despite knowing we have nowhere else to go. It’s clear now that we need to move out asap to protect ourselves and restart the rest of our life together.
We are hoping to raise £2500 to cover a flat deposit, first month’s rent and gofundme’s own fees.
Thank you in advance for helping us.
I have attached images of a recent exchange with my mother which shows me setting boundaries and her response to me doing so.
