Support a Life-Saving Move for a Trans Woman

Donation protected
Hello! I am a 23-year-old neurodivergent trans woman from the US and I need support to leave because this country is killing me. This is literal because it has—amongst several other things—put me in the hospital with a stress-induced heart attack at 19. This also, of course, means that I have significant medical debt adding to my many challenges. My parents have told me that they will be making me homeless in November, whether I can make other arrangements by then or not. Despite no formal notice and me consistently paying rent, they have made me homeless for 3 years before, so this is a very real danger I'm facing. I have no safe people or housing options left here. If this happens, I will be on the street with nothing. I have experienced a lot of different kinds of abuse here from various sources throughout my life simply for existing, some leaving permanent damage. I do not have access to care and medication for my mental and other health issues, and my HRT is frequently at risk.

I want to immigrate to the UK. I have two partners there and many friends who are eagerly waiting to receive me. My girlfriend is the one I am going to live with, and she has been working to get things in order on her end for it. We have actually been trying to do this for nearly 2 years now, but different situations on both ends keep setting us back. Unfortunately, my partner here currently doesn't have a stable income, neither do my parents, and they have no desire to contribute. I have been forced to constantly work myself into the ground as a line cook and work on streaming. While neither of these are particularly bad to me, my line job struggles to give me hours due to overhiring, and streaming only minimally helps financially. As such, I rarely have any money left to show for it. They expect me to run every errand and even pay for the food (which they hide from me). This means my debts continue to pile up, it's hard for me to save any money or eat much, and I have barely any time to do anything outside of working and recovering from working. My partner here also wants to immigrate because it will be a better life for them too. The UK isn't exactly a positive bastion towards queer people either, but I have a real family there. The dangerous climate in the US is continuing to accelerate, and it only makes all of this worse.

Please help me with covering the necessary costs of this move so that I can go where I am safe and loved. You will genuinely save my life. Thank you <3
