Hey folks! Heavy content warning and trigger warning for abuse.

A queer, neurodivergent, disabled friend of mine needs help meeting their monthly bills for the foreseeable future to avoid moving back in with an abusive parent. I am de-identifying them as much as possible for their safety, but they are a student in the Seattle area struggling to make rent and afford food for themself and their sweet emotional support animal. They're also worried about losing their job due to their disability.

My friend is deeply afraid of their parent, who has a job that gives people access to firearms and protects them from the consequences of their actions. My friend has gotten gender-affirming care against the wishes of the abusive parent. They fear for their safety if the parent finds out - which is much more likely if they have to move back in with the parent. The abuser will also prevent my friend from getting additional GAC they desperately want, and abuse them in other ways.

My friend is in school to try to get financial independence from this entire situation. If they have to move back in, their mental health and ability to continue with their studies are at huge risk. It would be devastating.

This is a kind person who has been through unbearably bad things and still continually tried to help those around them. Any amount helps.
