Support Ayanna's Journey to Independence

Hi. My name is Ayanna. I'm 20, and have been diagnosed with autism and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. Because of this, my support needs make it difficult for me to be alone. So until now, I have been living with my adoptive parents who help support me with my job, but my situation has quickly turned unsafe with my father being extremely emotionally and borderline physically abusive.

. I'm realizing things that shouldn't have been happening that I thought were normal were actually plain examples of abuse. Even though I have autism I need to find independence without leaning on someone who shows abusive tendencies. It's gotten worse as of late and he's began to start pushing me away financially. My support needs make it difficult for me to work long hours at work, although I am searching for another job as well.

Mainly, Ive been trying to find a new place to stay! I've been kind of at home packing and staying at friends' houses. But I want to move out fully maybe even a roomate, my own place, anywhere. And the main thing I would need help with is the down payment/security deposit. But literally anything helps. For food, ubers to work, anything.

Most start at like $800 but I want to aim low and play it safe for now. <3
