Help Me Escape an Abusive Home and Transition?

Donation protected
Hi. My name is Alex, legally at least. I go by Lexi with anyone who I trust enough to be openly trans with. I did not include a photo of myself for confidentiality and my safety. I live somewhere in the Bible Belt, with my two Christian fundamentalist parents who spend more time verbally abusing myself and my sister than doing anything productive. They do not hit anymore, but I don't want to wait to find out if they'll pick it up again. I want to get out this year. I want to move to a place where I can be trans, and be myself with no threat of losing a roof over my head. Or losing access to wifi, or access to social interactions.

"Just get a job." You may be saying, which is fair? At the moment I've managed to successfully line up 5 or 6 interviews. It's just that those places aren't Christian, so I end up having to cancel the interviews while my parents try to force me into making my career in the church. I don't really know what else to add here, I've never done this before and I'm a little scared to even ask for help.

But I know I'm not safe here, and it's getting to the point mentally for me where I have to reach out to suicide hotlines regularly to keep myself alive at all. I cannot stay here and I do need your help to get out. Every small bit helps, it'll all go to rent for an apartment and the other logistical costs of moving. I will post photos and stuffs once I move, for transparency's sake. If GoFunMe lets me? If not, I'll figure out some other way to let you guys know how I am holding up. Just need a foundation to get out of here with.

Edit: Forgot to clarify but money will NOT be withdrawn from this fundraiser until I move out. I want every penny of this to be put toward getting my life started.

Thanks a ton,
Lexi <3
