Hello, I'm Liatris.

I'm trying to raise money to get out of my unhealthy living situation. Two years ago, I moved back in with my mother for what was supposed to be a short term stay but turned longer when I split up with my fiance at the time. This was a huge set back personally and financially. Over the past year, I've done my best to recover from this, including getting back into college- I graduate with my AA degree this month. It's still been difficult however, especially with my mother's erratic behavior and constant threats to kick me out. I now have until August 1st to move out. While I am about to graduate, I have not yet found a long-term job and am unable to do so on my own.

As such, I'm reaching out to my community for help. Fortunately, a friend has offered to split a studio with me and cover rent until I find work, but they're also in difficult financial situation and don't have cash on hand for the security deposit. As such, I need to raise at least $1000 to cover the security deposit, and approx. $950 for first months rent as my roommate's lease isn't up until September.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this and considering donating to this cause. Thank you in advance if you choose to donate.
