Support My Path to Safety and Independance
Donation protected
I'm V, I'm 22 years old, and I'm a transgender disabled woman. I have worked so hard to realize who I am, and now that I'm there, I have hit an insurmountable roadblock, and I need your help to get me safe and secure.
(For my safety, I'm using a pseudonym and a manufactured appearance in case my parents find this.)
I've been living with my parents, and they have been abusive to me for more or less the whole time I've been with them. They have been giving me impossible standards to live by in order to get even a modicum of comfort or support from them. I am autistic and have ADHD, and they are essentially trying to informally conduct ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis, a form of conversion therapy) on me in an attempt to 'make' me not disabled. They also, as a part of this, have been emotionally abusive, as well as taking my only outlet for connection, as well as my only valuable possession, my desktop computer. Additionally, they have disallowed me to do the things I need to do to socially transition, and even the little I was able to do, get access to HRT, they have been putting roadblocks to getting that, such as making it unrealistic for me to find transportation to my pharmacy. I feel alone, and divided from not only others, but also myself and my own body. This isolation has led me to a deep despair, and I feel as if there's no real hope for me or my future, because every day I struggle with just getting any momentum to change my situation. That's why I am coming to you all for support. I am setting a goal for $5,000 USD, and I will use it as follows:
$2,500 to assist with relocating to a safer space, with friends
$1,500 for basic medical care and to assist with HRT and psychiatric medications
$1,000 for food, bare necessities, and resources to affirm myself, like clothes
If I get any extra funds, or we set new goals, they will go towards affording an education, so that I'll be able to find a job at all, especially one that aligns with my needs as someone with a disability. Anything you could give would help, and I'd be forever grateful, even for a small donation of $1 adds up over time. Also, sharing this campaign is important, because even if you can't give, you may be the reason it finds its way to someone who can. Thank you for your support, and helping me change my life into the one I want, and getting out of my abusive home.
