Help Nick Get to Work and support themself

Hello.. my name is Candice and I'm fundraising for a dear Loved one that has always done so much for me and everyone in their life.

(emergencies: *broken vehicle/in need of vehicle*

suicide prevention, domestic abuse, mental illness, lgbtq safety , pandemic savings loss.)

I have been putting this off far before the pandemic started and something new falls apart every week, month, year that passes. I Highly appreciate your time.

Nick, is in an on-going very dangerous place. (I'll be using They/Them pronouns)

They suffer daily from Severe O.C.D. and Chronic Lyme disease above other things like PTSD, depression, Anxiety, etc.

Nick is a giving, loving person, everyday fighter and hard worker.

But I often question how they are still here.

OCD and Chronic Lyme disease are two completely debilitating illnesses both physically, mentally, and one of the top causes of self deletion. without proper or any treatment, OCD can worsen overtime. The environment they are trapped in without a vehicle is the main problem.

I myself have social anxiety, ADHD, a learning disability, etc. As well as my own family struggles and trauma going on. So this is extremely hard for me to do and the reason I have put this off for so long apart from fear of who will see this, so i will keep as short as possible.

In a nutshell, Nick and a loved one has Endured horrific psychological, physical, and Financial abuse in their environment, nursing someone daily at home for free for about 2 years.(and still). suicide attempts which were left ignored and resulted in more abuse, being homeless for a while and more.

*On top of their car breaking for good and main purpose of this*

Me and nick both have been trying to save to move out of our homes before the pandemic but instead it resulted in Lost savings. Car broken and forcefully scrapped. House appliances breaking, Bills piling up in the mail for urgent doctors appointments (some could have been prevented) Thousands of dollars college debt. Etc. Nick is more than willing to pay all of this when they are able to.

Nick wants to work, Save, and move out so they can finally get health insurance which they are outrageously "not eligible" for.

. pay their college debt, get therapy, and perhaps proper or any treatment for their OCD in the future. They needed to stop meds that they've been taking because it has been causing their hair to fall out , and teeth to Painfully rot out which is also costing thousands of dollars root canals in which they don't have and still need to get work done.

Everything is thousands of dollars and they don't even have a car to get to work.

The jobs that finally called Nick back require you to have a vehicle. their car broke so taking taxis are around $20 each ride. When they can get a ride from someone, it's canceled last minute causing anxiety and lateness to work. They can't get to a store or doctor if they needed to.

This is why I'm making this.

Nick needs a decent vehicle that isn't going to break every 5-10 weeks and cost $500 - $2,000 to fix each time like their broken car.

Throughout the years I've watched nick help so many people at the drop of a hat, and give friends and family rides to wherever and whenever they wanted. Even when stating they couldn't, they still would.

The people who want to help Nick can't, and the people who should, and are more than capable of just simply being kind, won't and deliberatly make everything more difficult.

We have been trying so hard to keep a straight face. To "fake it till we make it" and keep it all to ourselves, but we aren't making it.

MY dad's truck also broke down to get to his work. Nanas old car is starting to break down too which me and my dad share to get to work. Meaning everyone's vehicles are breaking to get anywhere.

When Nick finally gets a car, they want to help me and my family too and everyone they love. It will fix so many issues if they just have their own transportation. They just need a Jumpstart.

Thank you for your time. Life is feeling very surreal and hopeless. I wish I could share every crazy thing that happens but i can't and shouldn't.

If you can, Just $5 helps , and shows those who need help that they are cared about. This is our last resort. Please share this to anyone who you think might be able to help.

Thank you ever so much,

~ Candice

Small List of abuse examples I've kept note of:

■ Psychological/Mental abuse:

narcissism, gaslighting, enabling of abuse, belittling, mocking, Death Threats, Harassment. Manipulation, purposefully sabotaging.

(Putting life insurance on Nick during specifically suicidal times caused by the abuser rather than just offer a little emotional support that would fully fix a situation.)

Scraps nicks car while they were in bed ill with covid19. Knowing how hard and desperately they are working to get a car.

Nick homeless on birthday all for standing up for abused loved one.

Nick nursing, feeding, wiping, keeping track of meds/times etc for a disabled family member, while having ocd and chronic Lyme flareups.

Wouldn't hire Nick as a nurse for their work because:

"We aren't losers and beggers"

"You don't have lyme or ocd, you just use those as an excuse.."

(I've deleted the list of graphic and outrageous, manipulative dialog)

■ Physical:

threats and gestures of violence for no reason.

Hitting, kicking the dog.

If abuser hears mild crying, or slightest minor inconvenience, he will throw glass around the house, punch holes in the walls, scream like a demon. etc.

Nick was trying to block a disabled family member from the abuser without violence and received a Blunt force to the liver causing agonizing pain and Ultrasound visits which also cost hundreds of dollars no insurance. Nick has had bad chest pain ever since.

■ Financial:

I'm too afraid to share anymore information. But all of this is what is making everything nearly impossible.
