Hello, my name is Celeste, and I have been living with my abusive family as things continue to only get worse with the threat of being kicked out and living on the streets growing larger than ever.

For years I have endured constant verbal and emotional abuse. I have also been molested by a sibling and more recently have been receiving death threats and being physically abused by said sibling.

They will not allow me to use the restroom even knowing I am having a lot of pain from intestinal or bladder issues.

When asking for help, my family grows angry towards me saying I'm the cause of the problem and have encouraged sibling to physically attack me.

Any other thing that for some reason may get my sibling angry (as simple as walking through) a pathway or grabbing juice) are treated the same way.

When asking for transportation anywhere (usually for medical reasons), they get into heated arguments with me and I’ll have to beg for them to take me.

They did not allow me to drive right up until a few weeks before 18 and due to my mental health at the time, I was unable to complete said course and have never helped me since.

It is often times a struggle to receive basic necessities from them (despite being fully able to afford it), one case leading to gingivitis which I have not been able to get rid of despite constant care for far longer than the projected time for said disease.

I had to fight very hard for my job as a care provider for my disabled sister. Due to not being a primary provider, I am only receiving leftover hours from my parents. Sometimes there are zero hours for the month. While I should be able to receive payment every two weeks, I am receiving it once a little over a month and have to beg for help receiving it, as the primary providers need to provide the leftover hours.

I have called the police time and time again over the years and only now have they begun to take me seriously and are in the process of sending different agencies over to the home.

Because of agencies surveying the situation, my parents have told me that I will be kicked out if someone gets arrested or taken my cps.

Whatever I do or don’t do, I am met with anger and now violence, leading to possibly being kicked out much quicker. I have tried to contact the only family I can and it seems like they will not be giving me any help. Apart from possibly a few days at a friend’s, I do not have anywhere else to go and will quite literally be on the streets. It pains me to write this as I have spent countless hours trying to mend the situation and our relationships time and time again. I am never public about such issues either but it has come to a point where I have no choice but to ask for help.

I will use the funds for:

Any funds that are not used immediately will be saved for necessities in the event they are needed.

There is a list of people needing care where I work. I plan to work for one of them so I can work full time and have a consistent income, without having any of the problems I had before.

I will also see what free resources I can get locally and plan for the worst.

I did not want to have to write this and have not been public about said issues but the support and kindness I have received and continue to receive mean so much more to me than words can say. It shows me I am still worthy of being treated in such a way even if I don’t receive it here.

I will continue moving forward no matter what and I am deeply grateful for whatever amount of help or kindness you have shown to me. I will not back down.

I do not know what the future may look like but I am beyond the point of waiting in silence. Every bit truly helps and if you cannot donate, please share. Thank you for ALL of your support, I am eternally grateful.
