help queer non-binary seek housing

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Solomon. I am 21, black, queer & non-binary. my pronouns are (He/She/They). I am asking for assistance in being able to move out and on my own. Long before the pandemic, i've had the dream of moving to New York to model and design clothing. Due to lack of resources and lack of support from friends and family members, i've been held back. I've never really had the best living situation and I want to be able to have my own creative space. I thought i'd be able to be on my own by now but i'm stuck working as a care provider and only being paid part time. I can't get a second job because I don't have a vehicle or a driver's license and none of my family members wants to teach me how to drive. None of my family members really support me or my dreams either. My father disowned me when I came out as gay at 15. I've struggled with depression, anxiety and have had suicidal thoughts since. I currently live with my aunt. However, i'm constantly being overlooked and devalued here. I help out so much around the house and i'm expected to do more but no one ever looks out for me. I've been spending money on food because she would cook for everyone in the house except for me sometimes. I didn't wanna use GoFundMe, I never thought I would even have to use it. I see people on here that have actual real problems and it makes me feel horrible to even make this because my issue may not be a big one to some people. It's a big issue for me however because I don't feel this situation is right for me anymore. I'm unhappy and uncomfortable and under appreciated in my home and I can no longer put up with this situation. I have so much passion for what I wanna do with modeling and designing but I'm being pigeon-held in an uncomfortable situation with little to no help.  Please if you can, share this link. Donate if possible or please buy my clothing to support. ❤️ UPDATE: two days later and i've been kicked out of my aunts for being "ungrateful" I'm back at my moms but now i'm unemployed. please help in any way possible. share, like, comment, donate $5 if you can ❤️
