I'm Anya, a 25-year-old trans fem who has been struggling with an abusive household and debt, mostly caused by extreme mental instability and impulsive decisions. Over the past year, I've been working hard in therapy to manage these impulses and improve my mental health. While I've made progress, my situation remains difficult. Right now, I'm living in my parents abusive household, and every day feels like a fight to stay hopeful and safe. I am sleeping on the couch in the living room that is too small. I have no private space for myself at all. Everyday I face verbal abuse targeted towards my identity as a transgender woman. Guilt-tripping and manipulation is a daily struggle. I have been threatened with homelessness as well. Recently I have also discovered a hidden camera which has been used to spy on me and record private conversations when they are not around. This has led to some psychological trauma. I was admitted to a mental facility back in March for suicidal ideations with intent based on what I've dealt with in this home.

I've looked into filing for bankruptcy, but it's a complicated process and not sure how I can get started. I'm also scared of the detrimental hit on my credit. My main obstacle at this time is transportation. My car needs repairs, and without it, I can't get a job in the neighboring city that would help me to start getting my life back in order. Fixing my car is the first step toward independence and escaping my current environment. If I receive extra support, it will go toward paying down debts and covering moving expenses so I can finally escape and find a safe environment.

This fundraiser is my last resort. I've exhausted as much options as I can possibly think of and I am reaching out because I can't do this anymore. Your support, whether through a donation or sharing my story, will make a huge difference in my life. Thank you for reading and for considering helping me on my journey to a better future.
