<div>for the past months, my living situation has become unbearable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>i'm a transgender woman living in a home where i can't safely be myself. i'm constantly deadnamed and misgendered, and expressing my identity isn't something i feel i can do without conflict. because of that, i've spent most of my time isolated in my room, avoiding the rest of the house just to protect my own mental health.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>living this way has taken a serious toll on me. i've become increasingly depressed, unmotivated, and feel like my life has been put on hold. i don't feel at home where i live, and every day feels like i'm just waiting for things to get better while they continue getting worse.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>i'm not waiting for someone else to fix my life. i've started applying for any jobs i can find so i can save money and work toward becoming independent. i'm doing everything i can to build a way out of this situation, but getting started is incredibly difficult without support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>i'm asking for help because i desperately need the chance to leave this environment and start over somewhere i can live safely and authentically. the funds will go toward securing housing, transportation, and the basic expenses involved in relocating while i continue working toward financial independence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>every donation, no matter the amount, brings me one step closer to a place where i can simply exist as myself without fear or constant emotional exhaustion. and if you're unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser means just as much.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can give.
