Help Chris find happiness

My name is Chris and I currently live in Los Angeles.  Sunny California where there's always sunshine.  Yet it my life it has always seemed so grim and cold.  Seems like no matter how hard I try I can't dig myself out of this hole I'm in.  I created this gofundme page in the hopes someone, anyone out there will help in my time of need.  God knows I have been there for those that needed it.  I may not have much of anything but what I do have I give.  I have never been one to talk about my struggles and reach out.  So I really do hope this will be a good experience and show me that people do care.  My goal if reached will be used to help me avoid homelessness.  Right now I have 1 maybe 2 duffle bags of stuff.   No vehicle, no money and no new home lined up.  I'd also like to start a small business so I can finally achieve independence.  So the funds will be used wisely.

So I'm sure your wondering how did I get to this point.  Well it mostly has to do with my sexual orientation and not being accepted by family.  I was raised in a seriously strict religious household.  So once I started to have feelings for those of the same sex you could only imagine how that went with my family.  Seemed like wherever I was whether at school, church or home, I was always treated so poorly.  In school I was bullied constantly and treated like garbage.  Even the friends I did have ended up avoiding me so they wouldn't be bullied.   At home my siblings never gave me the time of day and parents seemed to only care about there church and trying to force me to change.  I was such in a deep depression and always in my room asleep.  Sleeping was my way to escape from my awful reality.  So once I turned 18 they told me to get out.  I had told them I'm still the same person I have always been why treat me like this.  They said either I change or they never wish to see or hear from me again.  That there religion/beliefs would always come before anyone or thing, including me.  

So I have to say from 18 to 21 I had such a tough time.  I couch surfed most of the time, if I didn't have somewhere to go I ended up parking somewhere and sleeping in my vehicle.  Many times I didn't have anything to eat.  Not having a stable home made working so tough.  Even if I was lucky to find a job it wasn't nearly enough to support myself.  I often found myself crying myself to sleep.  I left home with no family, no friends, no money.  Just me and a car.  When I was graduating high school this was not the future I had in mind.  I wanted to go to school. I wanted to be someone and prove my family wrong.  Yet here I am about to be homeless again due to ignorance and those not wanting to accept me.

Please no donation is too small and it will be much appreciated.  If you can't donate please share my gofundme.  Thank you for taking the time.
