Hello!!

Growing up I have been in two abusive households. One with my father, who yelled and screamed and hit over every little thing. He was a gaslighter and a manipulator, and I had to run to live with my mother.

However, over the years I have found out that she doesn't truly care for me– making constant remarks on my money and income, urging me to get a job, taking every cent of the money I got back from college, and demanding all of my government disability funds from Social Security.

Now, I have to leave. I cannot take this anymore. I am going somewhere she can't find me, but after she took every last cent in my bank account and after a donation from a friend I have around 53 dollars to my name, which as I'm sure you're aware, is not a lot.

I need money to get insurance and a phone plan since my mother cut me off. She calls me a lying thief for not wanting to give her every cent I have.

I have a homeless shelter sorted but this is not the ideal situation. I would love to have the money to get my own place, even just a small apartment. To get Wi-Fi. To talk to the people I love. I would love to be able to be with my friends again.

Every day I am more and more afraid of what is going to happen next.

Anything helps, really.
