Hey, I’m Leo, a transgender male (he/him), 20 years old, and a self taught Artist from KY.

I’m on the verge of being kicked out of my grandmother’s house, and i’m really losing hope in my situation. I currently have nowhere stable nor safe to go. Previous to this i’ve already been kicked out my parents’ household at 18 with none of my belongings. I’ve lived all my life in an environment where I don’t feel safe, supported, nor at ease.

I constantly feel very unsafe with the people im surrounded by and I have no idea where to go from here. So here i am, feeling as if this is my last hope.

My mental health is really at one of the biggest lows in my life. And on top of that, I’m struggling daily with untreated stage 3 rheumatoid arthritis, which makes it incredibly difficult to stay active and take care of myself, as well as be in demanding workspaces. I not only don’t have a job, but I also don’t have a license, nor a cell phone, which has made things way harder. And i also lack transportation alltogether.

I live in a really small and poor town in the east, and theres hardly anything i am able to do on my own to be able to get any real support, especially with how severe my mental health conditions are (which affects my every-day life) and environment is.

I’m trying to raise funds to secure a safe place to live, afford basic needs, and eventually get the resources I need to become more independent.. including medical needs, transportation, work opportunities, and more. Anything you can give, whether a donation or even just a share, would mean the world to me. I appreciate anything at this time, anything counts!

Thank you so much for your kindness and support, and for reading this far.

I hope you all have a great day. ❤️

(Edit 1: I would also love to try to raise money to put into a disability aid like a rollator, to make getting around easier, because more and more my arthritis truly gives me a really tough time even walking during high pain/low mobility days, im starting to get extra worried.)

(Edit 2: Ive asked as many people as i possibly could to try to take me in to live with them but they can’t make room for me. Im worrying every single moment that it could be my very last moment being under a roof. Im terrified to be on the streets, but i’ve been threatened to and told they wouldnt care if i were to live on them. Im in such a hard state in my life i cant believe at only 20 im having to face homelessness.)

(Edit 3: Thank you all SO SO freaking much for all the money youve donated, it TRULY means the ABSOLUTE world to me. I love you all.

Im in an extra hard spot right now because my only connection that was trying to help me learn to drive is no longer able to stay in touch with me because of a violation of a code to her job for interacting with me since i was her client. i feel so lost i dont know where to go from here, having no license, no car, meaning tough to get a job, AND no where to live?

But this money will definitely help to support my life to at least try to find a roof to stay under temporarily. Thank you all once again for EVERY bit of support. ❤️)

(Edit 4: I think I’ve temporarily got a chance with my grandma to stay with her a bit longer, but im not sure how long ive got! However i have put some of this money towards some groceries since im having to buy my own food. So thank you all so much! :’3 also depending how much money i get ill be putting it into both appointments to try to get treatment for my arthritis and to hopefully get a wheelchair in the future!)
