Help LGBTQ POC Move From Toxic Home
Donation protected
Hi, I've been place in a situation that is pretty unfavorable, but hasn't reached dire yet, and could really use any help I can get right now. My name is Sara, but I'm also known as Rosie by most as well, and I'm a mentally ill 22 year old African American Bisexual woman.
I've been having problems for a while now with my family regarding my sexuality, my boundaries, and more. One of the biggest motivators for my wanting to move were the disregard of my boundaries when it comes to my triggers. Such as, I really don't like being touched, it's a trigger for me, but they would often try to guilt me into letting them touch me or would try and force touch on me. Because of this and more, I decided in December 2020 that I wanted to move out, but Covid had made it hard to find anything sustainable especially with my living in a retirement based town. I recently got a job working fast food, but I barely make 600 per month but I would put away all that I could so that I could save up to leave as soon as possible, but sadly a wrench was thrown into my plan before I could save up enough.
April 15th 2021 my toxic family let me know that I had at most until the middle of December to find a place to go and that they planned on moving away.
Because I make so little and have never made enough to be able to file taxes, as well as the medical bills that have piled up from even before I turned 18, I have little to no resources to get me where I need to go. I don't have enough to live in a motel at the moment either. While December is a bit away, I'm nervous to have to live on the streets during Covid.
Even if all you can do is give a dollar, even if all you can do is share this, I will be more than grateful to you! I'd be so thankful if you could help me move into a better place so that I can at least get on my feet, and so that I can exist in a place where I'm free to be queer but to really start getting into healing my trauma.
Please help me!
