Help a Black woman escape abuse

Donation protected
I’ve been living in an extremely abusive household for most of my life (I’ve been under authoritative care for some of it, have lived in hotels, hostels, with friends and relatives for the rest between the ages of 11-23). I’ve been threatened with homelessness again. I was threatened to have police take me out of the house just today for venting to a friend. This has been extremely traumatic for me as a Black woman. I’ve had the police called on me a lot, have been manhandled by them and have slept in cells since I was 14 due to false allegations. I’ve been hospitalised by this abusive parent which resulted in me getting surgery, have been made homeless countless times that the number escapes me and I’ve almost been stabbed by a sibling who is also physically abusive. I suppress it because I don’t want my mental health to decline but sadly it has been and a lot of the time I do fear for my safety. I am being told to kill myself which I cannot give them the satisfaction of doing, I know I have to leave though. I’ve used a lot of money to support my mother thinking this would stop her from kicking me out but as shown by the incident today, it can’t be helped. I also recently decided to walk away from my job due to on-going racial abuse so I’m literally depending on my savings right now.
