Help me escape my home.

Hello, my name is Kaden, but you'd probably know me better as Prisma. I've dreaded starting a GoFundMe over everything going on in my life for so long, but life circumstances have led me to no other choice. For nearly a decade of my life now, I've struggled with chronic kidney stones, and debilitating back pain that severely limits what I can and can't do. In a recent CT scan, doctors have found multiple cysts upon my kidneys, which are contributing more and more to this pain as time goes on. For this reason, I'm unable to work at this time due to worsening pain and health conditions. I'm unable to move out due to worsening house/apartment prices, and still live with my parents at home, which leads me to why I'm starting this fundraiser. I am no longer safe in my home, and find myself growing sicker and sicker the longer I remain here.

I live in a hoarding situation, where my mother compulsively buys items without having the room to store them. This assortment of items continues to build and build, as she recieves packages via Amazon at an almost daily rate. In addition to this, this household houses (25) cats, (7) dogs, (1) rabbit, and (1) North-American tree squirrel, all of which we've found I'm allergic to. The air is bad enough as it is with so many animals in an average-sized family home, but this is further combined with lack of maintenance and care of said animals. That being said, the stench of ammonia and cat feces can be smelled from every corner of the house. Despite having (4) automatic litterboxes that would normally need to be changed weekly, these litterboxes need to be changed daily - however, are lucky to be changed every few days, thus further leading to the rancid smell.

Returning to the fact that I'm allergic to animals, I have to take multiple antihistamines daily, as well as two inhalers in order to even have a chance at breathing. My room has two air purifiers running nonstop and overtime, so that I can have mildly decent air when I sleep. I've closed the air vents within my room, and constantly shower my room with febreeze in hopes of mitigating the stench however, I still find that it keeps me awake at night many days of the week.

I've tried to reason with my mother and step-father, but my pleas are always in vein. I've begged my mother to stop getting animals, since our fifth animal, and my feelings were never put into consideration. In order to live, I had to start allergy medications and inhalers to even continue living in this house. Over the 4th of July weekend this year, I got into a shouting match with her where she proclaimed that "these animals love me more than the rest of my family," thus showing how little I matter to her, or to this household. Whether it is thirty, twenty, or even one animal... my life will never be chosen over theirs.

After 7 animals, my mother decided that she was going to rescue, with all of us knowing full-well that she wouldn't be able to adopt them off to other homes due to her personality. Since the first "rescue" batch of kittens, my mother has repeated the cycle of nursing them to full health, and adopting them as her own. The most recent batch of kittens she had, were initially taken away to be adopted elsewhere... however, she found friends to adopt the kittens under their name, only to give the cats back to her.

Every morning we wake up to the same routines of cleaning cat pee from the counters, stoves, couches, floor, the pantry door, tables, and various other places that the cats have sprayed/urinated on over the night. Despite this, in many areas of the house, cat pee has soaked so deep into the carpet that it has been almost fully crystallized, and crunches when stepped upon. I had never had the displeasure of seeing a "mound" of cat pee until several months back, when I had left the house to go on a trip, only to find that the carpet outside my door had amassed enough cat urine to protrude from the carpet.

I'm between a rock and a hard place, and genuinely do care for the sake of these animals. I do not wish harm or death upon any single one of them, and simply want to leave this home. Unfortunately at the time of writing this, every shelter within driving distance that we have looked into is at max capacity, as well as all other surrounding rescues. If I were to call authorities, these animals would be taken away, euthanized, and I'd still be left at home with an emotionally manipulative mother. I reiterate, I do not wish death upon these animals, and it would genuinely break my heart to have them euthanized.

I simply want to move out, and have the chance to start over despite everything in this household. My health is dwindling, my emotional stamina is almost non-existent, and my mental health is crumbling knowing that I will never be heard. I want a chance to cook. I want a chance to breathe. I want the chance to live again.

If you've read this far, I'd implore you to consider donating to my cause. If not, sharing this, and even keeping me in your thoughts means so much to me. Help me gain the chance to live again.

If you have any additional questions, I'll leave my messages open during this fundraising campaign, but may also be reached by @PrismaFox on Telegram. Thank you.
