I'm extremely unsafe. I need to move out asap

Donation protected
*UPDATE* March 3, I have a place thanks to all the help! I'll leave this up for a little longer. Any extra funds will go towards next month's rent, I still haven't secured a full-time job.
Thank you all! All the blessings to each of you!

Hi, my name is Katie and I'm in an extremely abusive relationship.
I've been dealing with being love bombed, and then the next day I'll be choked with their full weight on me.
And I've stayed for almost 3 years because the moments that were good gave me hope.
But as I stay longer the abuse just gets worse. If I remove myself from the room and the situation, this person comes after me and breaks into the room that I'm hiding in. Last night was my last straw when I got a video of that happening. And my face got pushed onto the carpet. All because I asked them to put their shoes away.
This is a fully grown adult who is 10 years older than me who consistently punches me in the stomach. Who pushes me to the floor and chokes me while sitting on me. Someone who has cut open my hand with scissors..

I don't know if my words can even convey the amount of fear that I have while living here.
However, I feel very stuck. I'm working in an auxiliary position. So that means that I'm on call and I make very little money from that. My next steps are to find a job even if it pays less, one that will be stable and full-time. I have good working experience so that won't be an issue. It's just something that takes time in this day and age.

I'm also making moves to leave. I'm packing my stuff. My problem is that I have been living paycheck to paycheck and drowning in debt. I've been completely financially reliant on this person for the last few months since quitting my full time job and moving with them.

I'm realizing now that I'm trapped I'm in a relationship with an narcissist who is completely isolated me and made me completely financially reliant on them. I'm constantly being told to get out while simultaneously getting love bombed.

However, it's not just me that needs to get out. And this is where I need your help.
If I only had me to worry about I would just leave all of my stuff. I wouldn't care. I would just go on the street if I needed to.

But it's not just me, I have my cat of 13 years who has been my rock and I cannot leave her. And I have my 7-year-old daughter that I co-parent, and I keep her away from all of the abuse. In fact, this abusive partner is the reason why I only see my daughter every second weekend.

I just need help to get on my feet. I've done this once before a few years ago, but it was easier then. I'm more stuck now. And I just need to get out before I get killed.

Please help. Every little bit helps. Every little bit is going to go towards finding a place where I can have peace with my family. And a place where I don't need to worry about my safety.
It's going to go towards finding a place and helping me pay my phone bill and helping with transit costs and moving costs.

God willing, this reaches the right people.
With all my love,
Katie
