Help Dante Rent An Apt in NYC After Escaping Extreme Abuse

Hi! I’m Dante, and I’m 19, trans, disabled, and queer! I just recently left my abusive household, and am now currently homeless with really no family to turn to, as the majority of them disowned me, including my parents. My goal with this Go Fund Me is to be able to afford an apartment in NYC.

My parents were neglectful of me, extremely sexually abusive to me and my siblings, and had sex trafficked me and my siblings via molestation for many years- me specifically for more than a decade.

I spoke up about a severe escalation of abuse of my brother by my mother to my therapist, and she had then told me that what my parents had done in the past could be considered trafficking, and that I had to report this current act of abuse my mom was enacting on my brother. I reported this. I stayed in my therapists office until I was aware they were coming to my home.

I saw the police outside my house, talking to my mother. In cases like these, they make these calls anonymously. I straight up told her it was me. I had plans to leave. I was afraid things would escalate to actual physical violence from my parents. After I told my mom, I immediately began packing. I planned what I would pack with my therapists, with my friends.

I waited till my brothers were being done interrogated to leave officially. When they finally did get home, I hugged them, told them I loved them very much, that I wasn’t coming back, and that I had to report what I did. I love them very dearly. I then grabbed the stuff I packed, and left the house.

My mom called me a liar, told me that if I just wanted to hate her and my father that’d be fine, but that I “didn’t understand what I put them through” (my brothers) (and says the sexual abuser) My dad called me fucking disgusting, and told me to leave. I gladly left.

I told them they belonged on a registry, flipped them off, then headed out to go to a shelter my therapist recommended I go to. I am now there. I feel very alone. I have no irl friends to talk about this with, and I know I’m disowned by all the family I do have. I’m heartbroken in a deep way and I feel so lost.

I greatly would appreciate ANY and ALL help I can get!
