I am a 21-year-old female who was raised in an extremely religious village.

Girls in my village are prohibited from running or playing outside, only going to school if they're lucky.

Obviously going for a walk or seeking fresh air is not something you can do. Due to that, throughout my life I have been imprisoned in my house, subjected to severe abuse and never had a childhood.

At the age of 9, I was forced to wear a hijab (head scarf) due to being raised in a cult. Ever since then, I was living in constant fear of being married off like all of my best friends, who were forced into child marriages. I was aware that men in their late 20s or 30s raped them under the guise of marriage once they disappeared.

My dad left us with our mom, a very horrible woman whom I will never forgive. Before beating me, she always undresses me, and she does it every time I'm sick.

She also removed any source of joy from my childhood, including TV and playing with friends. My friends were separated from me as a punishment for "laughing too much", according to her.

Despite my suicidal thoughts and depression, I studied hard to avoid child marriage and was ultimately accepted into university. My hopes for a better life were high, but a few weeks after being accepted, another family member harassed me. Unlike before, this time he was my brother. I was deeply hurt. What he did was the worst trauma I have experienced.

I told them, and they threatened to kill me, told me to be mindful of my boundaries, and forced me to cook and clean for him. My heart has never felt so broken.

Since then, my mother has been abusing me more than ever.

I am being called a whore more often, physically abused, and even deprived of food. My weight dropped by 36 pounds, I became very unhealthy, and I started experiencing bone pain.

Due to these obstacles, I was unable to attend my exams twice and failed two semesters in a row. In order to remain in university, I must restart with a different major. My family has been arranging for me to get married after I graduate in two years, but now they'll get me married immediately for failing my studies. I’m running out of time.

So for now, I'm trying to hide the fact that I failed university so that I can escape at some point. I had a difficult time getting my passport done and finding a way to escape, which is to apply for a study visa in Argentina.

But I have absolutely no money. To the point that I don't drink clean drinking water and I only eat one meal per day, sometimes only a snack. I’m terrified I’ll end up being married off to an abusive religious man who will rape and abuse me as a part of our marriage or even end up dead, either from suicide or by an honor killing like other girls in my situation. I need your help to be able to live in freedom. To eat three meals a day and drink water that is drinkable for the first time in two years. To find a job and start a new life. To achieve my childhood dreams, such as running, biking, and learning a musical instrument. I need your help so that I can start the free life that I have never had before. Please consider making a donation, even if it's only one dollar. I would also appreciate it if you could share my story with others. Due to the danger involved, I am unable to reveal my face and have to use an alias. I am forever grateful to my best friend in California who created this account for me and is helping me raise donations. Again, thank you for any and all help, even if it's just bringing awareness to others. Please, help me to live, I need you.
