Hello everyone. My name is Kiera. I am a 31 year old, British-Jamaician trans individual who is currently attempting to restart my life in Ireland after living in my broken down car for the past few months.

I was a qualified bus driver, with a stable income. I had known Kay for years prior, and apon reuniting while at work in early August, we quickly got close and started a relationship. Around that time, Kay confided that she was close to losing her nan to long term illness, and in the days prior to her passing, I spent most of the time comforting her. Kay's nan passed August 10th 2025. The day after her nan's passing, her uncle gave her an ultimatum to either visit the hospital that day, or they would cut her from the family, and any attempt to say her last goodbyes would be blocked with force. The evening of August 11th, Kay's brother showed up at her door with a gun and threatened to kill her. Herts police were called, asked him to move on, and no further action from the local police was taken. Due to fear for her safety, Kay used her connections with the Met to escalate her case, but they weren't able to offer direct protection, so I stepped in to ensure no-one could actively get to her while the police had time to intervene. Her father, due to stress of her situation, quickly succumbed to an existing heart problem, with the assistance of medical neglect, passed away a week later.

During that week, the threats from other members of the family escalated, and we committed to spending nights either in hotels, or sleeping in my car. Having explained the situation to my family, they made it clear I wasn't welcome home for their own safety, making me homeless.

Over the following 3 weeks, money was exchanged to put a hit on Kay, dozens of arrests were made, I was forced to quit my job, and we were getting close to the end of my savings. The stress of everything had caused Kay to start experiencing seirzures multiple times a day.

The decision was made, with the assistance of a couple of close friends, to relocate to Ireland early September, so we could start our lives again without the target on our backs. With our safety now secured, we then focused on getting Kay's health under control, spending time in hospital for her seizures, and getting her back on medication and seeing a therapist for her mental health.

Living out of the car, in a country we entered underprepared and without funds, getting through the mountain of paperwork we needed was taking months instead of the weeks we originally expected. The car was also gaining more and more problems after a month of being driving hard, and many months of interior damp from us living out of it.

In December, Kay made arrangements to go back to England to visit graves and say her last goodbyes without consulting me. I agreed to her going for 2 weeks, made sure she had enough meds and money for her trip, and let her go, leaving me with around £500 left in my overdraft.

In early January, Kay started limitting contact and distancing herself, and the few times she did message, she made it clear she was in no rush to come back to Ireland. The fear that I was no longer talking to her, and the family we were on the run from had gotten to her, drove me into a depression, and I attempted to take my own life January 26th.

The day after, she finally had a proper conversation with her, and despite me confiding how much I was struggling, she still "needed time", leaving me with no money, in a car that was barely functioning, and no means of seaking medical help.

At this point, I called things quit with Kay, and I thought things were over. She was staying with someone in England, and I was stuck in Ireland. She then went completely no contact for 6 days. This was broken when she announced she had a flight into Dublin the next day, followed by her demanding that we get back together.

Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

My current monthly expenses are:

- HRT = €35

- Food = €400

- Car = €250

And estimated repair costs for the car for me to do the work myself is around €750
