Help Ember Secure Safe Housing
Donation protected
Hi. I'm Ember, and you may have seen me around on The Net™.
It's hard for me to ask this. It's hard for me to talk about these things. But I desperately need your help.
For five years now, I have been living in a dehumanizing and abusive environment. Under the guise of polyamory, I was manipulated into a living situation which saw my partners neglect, cheat on, lie to, gaslight, and ultimately discard me, using me and my child as the vehicle by which they could abandon their respective marriages.
Over the course of this last year, I've gotten distance and begun healing. I've been rediscovering myself, recommitting to my passions and goals, and focusing on being the best parent I can be to my child, on a path to move into my own place where my child and I can be safe and healthy. Unfortunately, this path was dealt a blow in mid-September when I was let go from my job.
After weeks of frantic searching, I've finally landed a new job, one that would have allowed me to work from home while my kid was at school and still be around in the evenings to spend time with them. However, my start date is in the back half of December, and I've as of yet been unable to secure November's rent. Two nights ago, my former partners dropped the news that if I'm unable to pay the $500 I owe that I will be evicted on December 8th. This will not only separate me from my child and my cat indefinitely and leave me with nowhere to go, but will also neutralize my ability to work this new job.
So, I have to ask for your help. I hate to do it. Everyone is struggling right now, especially going into the holiday season, and in any situation, I feel awful being the beneficiary of someone else's sacrifice. But with what's at stake for me right now, I have no choice but to pull out all the stops, the best that I can.
If you are able, and if it will not affect you negatively in any way, I would be extremely humbled and grateful for whatever donation you can give. $500 will buy me precious time and ability to sort out an alternative housing situation while I navigate this transitory period. If at all possible, a further $250 will allow me to cover the first half of December's rent, and with any luck, that will carry me through until I can earn my first paycheck at the new job and get back on the path to freedom and self-sufficiency.
