Homeless and need some support for a place to live

Donation protected
Hi. My name is James Fuentes, but there's a good amount of people that know me better as DJ_Umbilicalcord and LilJerry online.

For a few years now, I've been living under my parent's house, paying $1000 monthly to live under their house and under their guidelines, which I didn't really mind. That kinda has gone downhill these past couple of months, with verbal insults, being kicked out of the house multiple times, and being hurt physically as well. This has been a process and a cycle ongoing for a year now, with me pressured out of the house even on my days off from work, forcing me to just wander around the streets on my own since there isn't anywhere for me to really go.

I'm being kicked out again and I unfortunately do not have the right amount of funds to sustain myself, even for the cheap motel I usually can go to when this happens. I have a job, but a good amount of my money has gone to cover the costs expected in my household and for the Uber trips I pay for to go into work. I don't have a car or my license yet, and I don't even have my glasses available to me.

I don't have anything against my mother and I'm not putting this out as some sort of attack on her and my family. I'm grateful for them, and I love my family no matter the circumstances.

So, I'm asking for $1,500 to help me secure my own living space for myself so I can simply move out from her house and sustain myself. I have a job at the moment (I work as a Line Cook at Chili's with some wonderful people) but I don't have enough money at the moment to sustain me as the little amount I do have has been used for covering my trips to work and back. That amount can help me secure a room or studio apartment in my area for a month as I search for a second job to help myself stabilize. I'm asking for a chance to escape my household and for me to properly start my life, and I might have a chance with your help.
