Help Disabled Transgirl Escape Abuse

Donation protected
My name is Matthew, I'm a disabled transman, and this GoFundMe is for my disabled trans girlfriend. She needs to move to California for benefits and safety. She's being abused at home, and because of the physical abuse she endures, her health is being put at further risk. At this point she is in constant pain. And, being trans, Texas has many anti-trans laws that prevent her from being herself safely.

My girlfriend, in Texas, is being abused by her family. She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis about four years ago, restricting her from doing heavy labor and standing for long. It is a progressive disease, it causes vision loss, loss in motor controls, and more. She is also dealing with extreme dental problems- she needs extractions and a root canal and more. Because she is so restricted in the amount of physical work she can do, it is difficult for her to do a regular retail job or similar. She is highly educated, with a medical degree; but little to no opportunities reside where she lives. Many more opportunities are here, especially where we live. She would be coming to move in with my family temporarily, we would start her on benefits Then we can figure out what to do next.

Her family does not acknowledge her disability at all, nor do they acknowledge her being a woman. They force her to do hard physical labor like concrete, brick, tile, and wood work. She is also in charge of keeping the house clean and taking care of animals that do not belong to her. Not only does her family force her to do labor, they constantly insult and berate her. Over every little thing. It is torture seeing her go through this day in and day out, she is always so exhausted.

I want her to be here as soon as possible, her health is deteriorating every day and she is always in so much pain.
