Help Unique and Siblings Find an Abuse-Free Home

Donation protected

Hi guys! My name is Unique, I am the oldest of 4 siblings, and unfortunately me and 2 of my siblings have been thrust into a terrible situation. Our father is very abusive and because of ongoing issues with him, we've decided to leave the house(well, we were kind of kicked out but whatever) to live with our respective mothers, however, they live an entire state away (in Delaware). Our lives, my school, and our jobs are all based in the state where our father lives (Pennsylvania) so we need a place to stay there ASAP.  We were not really expecting this situation, so we don't have much saved up. This GoFundMe would help support us in finding a safe place to live so that we can continue our lives and better ourselves. I have found several places that I am keeping my eye on, but we can't afford to move in, or even apply, just yet because we don't have enough for the deposits. Even if it only gets halfway funded, this GoFundMe would help us out in a HUGE way, so please consider donating, or even just sharing it with other people so that they can donate! It would mean the world to us. 

P.S. I feel like a common question we might get is "why can't you stay with your mothers and find new jobs?", or "don't you have other family members in state that you can live with?" and that's kind of a complicated question. 1) We're trying to stay away from our father, and he's HUGE on visiting family so we don't really want to have contact with him, or even have a chance of getting into contact with him because of what he's done to us, so staying with family in-state is kind of a no-no. Plus, they're all closer with him than with us so they'd probably take his side anyway, and try to force us to go back with him. 2) My sister and my brother could technically stay with our moms and possibly commute to work because they have their driver's licenses, but I cannot. I'm going to nursing school at a college in Philadelphia in the fall, and I do not have a driver's license yet, so I cannot commute to and from clinicals, labs, and classes on my own, and it is far too late to apply to a different nursing program. Not to mention, I currently have two jobs that I am not attending because of not having a place to stay in Philly, and finding a place to stay there would really help me get back to those jobs to start making money again. So, again, please consider donating, it would really help me and my siblings out a lot!

TLDR: Me and my siblings are fleeing an abusive household and need somewhere safe to stay.
