Hi, My name is *Redacted* (For safety reasons) and I'm a 24 year old, Full-Time University student studying the Bachelor of Game Design in Melbourne.

I used to live in a country city but ran away due to my safety from my home town, Family Psychological/Physical Abuse, and wanted to live a better life to pursue my own future goals.

For the Past Year I've been reaching out for support due to my High Metabolism and Eating Disorder, as currently I'm 180cm tall and Weigh 46kg. (BMI - 4.2) Dangerously Underweight.

I'm fortunate to afford a room in Melbourne that I'm renting but it's only temporary.

I've tried to look for work to pay my living expenses, however I have no cert training qualifications and volunteering records. Leading my resume to lack any grander scale of work placement opportunities to get income I desperately need.

I tried to apply for Fastfood again this year; as I have 3 years of experience but due to the age bracket I haven't heard back from any of them in months; even after reapplying twice. I didn't have any luck with retail jobs either.

As for my mental health I have a Mental Health Care Plan from my GP but I can't afford a Psychologist, Psychiatrist and Dietitian even if bulkbilled. I have Headspace and CoHealth (Provided a Wellbeing Safety Plan) but both organizations haven't been able to offer me outside support ever since being in their programs for 6+ months now. With even being told and I Quote my Situation is “too severe” for their service to do much.

As for food I can't afford a Proper Meal and Survive on Noodles, Canned food and when I go to the food support place it's mostly bread, doughnuts, A sausage sizzle, water bottle and apples.

I only have enough money to afford rent and a week’s worth of food for the whole month.

Due to the state of my condition I constantly faint, get dizzy, dehydrated, nauseous, throw up, In agony, Cramps, Bloodshot eyes, Pale Skin, Struggling to walk for long periods, can't run properly, get dizzy and weak Immunity as four months ago I got Shingles. (Which Concerned my GP)

I went to the emergency hospital and asked for help but I was told I can't get sudden support without a psychologist or I could get the support if my health were more severe as in life threatening.

I feel trapped in this endless cycle of no’s, delays and more reasons why I can't get support.

My university is private so they don’t have Doctors and Psychologists but rather offer a 24/7 support app which does nothing because in Victoria you can only get help from a Face to Face government service.

As a student that has to draw 3D and 2D, code and 3D model; my hands keep shaking violently and I can't focus anymore with sudden vision blurs and passing out due to lacking energy. The last 2 months I've even had to sleep 14+ Hours to be okay to function for the day.

My friends highly recommended I give this Go Fund me a try.

So I ask for your prayers and support in the hardest, scariest moments of my life.

So that I will survive and succeed rather than my mother saying I will die alone for her mistake.
