Hello. I go by Cressa online, For my whole life I’ve lived in unsafe and emotionally/ physically abusive environments. I’ve been stuck in a city I never wanted to settle in since I had to run away from my abusive guardian and seek refuge with my biological family when I was fresh out of high school. All of my childhood items and artwork was thrown away or given away all to get revenge on me for running. After getting kicked out from my biological republican family in 2021 and almost going homeless with no car and a job that didn’t pay well I’ve been living at a room for rent and the situation has soured where our landlord has been upcharging me and my past roommate all while making their friend pay half the rent. I’ve been verbally abused by my some of my landlord’s visitors and friends and I haven’t been able to save any money due to the rent and my bills. I’ve been trying to save up to leave but it’s been near impossible between trying to get my art career off the ground and working at an abusive job. I currently work at Starbucks and the store has been verbally abusive and hostile and it’s gotten to the point where I’ve had suicidal idealation and breakdowns. I’ve had to transfer due to assault and targeted harassment and the company is only getting worse. Everyday has gotten worse and they are closing down stores without notifying employees until it was too late

I don’t have a safety net due to cutting off my family and I want to leave the state I’ve been stuck in due to an abusive situation

Having this money would ensure my next chapter. I want to move in with my found family but we live on opposite sides of the country. I would use this money to pay for moving expenses and to find a proper home. After 30 years of surviving and living in harmful environments I want a home to finally call my own. I would post updates on the move, I would show what progress has been made, and I would make sure the money would be used effectively
