Help me get out of a homophobic household

Hi, it’s Aspen. I never thought I’d have to make something like this public, but I’m currently trying to raise funds to help me move out of a difficult and unsafe home environment.

Right now, I’m living in a place that is emotionally abusive and deeply unsupportive, especially regarding people with queer identities. I haven’t come out to the people I live with, because based on the way they speak about the queer community, I know I wouldn’t be safe or accepted. It’s something I’ve quietly struggled with for 7 years and I’ve finally reached a point where I know I need to get out.

Thankfully, a close friend’s family has offered me a safe place to stay. I plan to contribute to groceries and rent, depending on what they need, but I need some help getting started and covering moving expenses. I’d be working if I could, but due to my current family situation, it isn’t possible right now.

Any support whether it’s a donation or just sharing this means more than I can say. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
