Hi, You can call me Cae. I just turned 18 in April, and just a few days ago I escaped a domestic violence situation.

I was hit, bitten, manipulated, and SA’d by a self-proclaimed sociopath, and when I finally spoke up for myself, he kicked me out of his house. I personally think that is a much better end than what he had told me before, which was, “If I were to kill you, I’d make it look like an accident, as if you fell down the stairs.” The first two images show the most recent marks he left on my body.

I left as quickly as possible, even though he isolated me from people that cared and shut off my internet access (the third image, he knew I was telling my friends what he did and looking for somewhere else to go, thankfully I pay my cellphone bill), and my friend graciously extended her room to me for a few days. I can’t stay very long, though.

I don’t have a credit score, I don’t have a car, and all my things were condensed into 4 suitcases, 3 reusable shopping bags, a purse, and 4 duffle bags. I’ve been looking for solid work for the past 2 years and finally have an interview lined up. However, I need help now. I have just enough to cover bills for August, after that I’m lost.

I’m asking for $1,100 to cover expenses until resources kick in next week. I’ll break it down below:

Every share and dollar helps. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
