My name is Leslie Joan Rivas. I am a hispanic, trans woman. I am currently 19 years old and live Hialeah, Florida. For more information about me and such, you can find me on twitter @Sega_SeGal
For the entirety of my life, I have been living in a abusive household. My mother and father have physically abused as a child and continue to emotionally and mentally abuse me to this day. I have been planning to leave this household already for a very long time, but certain circumstances make getting outside help nearly essential to me right now. Recently, I have been receiving threats from my parents about throwing me out of the house and leaving me to live on the streets. This is not the first time I have been told something like this in my life, but as of recent, I am becoming increasingly more terrified of it becoming true.
One of my closest friends and I have been planning to move in together in Philidelphia. This is a plan the both of us have wanted for months now, but progress has unfortunately been very scarce. I am creating this fund so that I can help expedite the process and hopefully finally escape my abusive parents.
The money will primarily be used to rent an apartment for the two of us and roughly cover a few months worth of rent (Hopefully 4 or more months).
I also plan on using the money to help fund my trip to Philidelphia. I will be travelling through car and would like extra security in having the right amount to cover fuel, food, and if necessary, shelter. I have never planned something like this out before, so please excuse me if the desired amount is too much or too little for what I am doing. This is just a rough estimate based on what I know about apartment prices, gas prices, etc.
If anyone has any doubts or questions regarding whatever I have said, I am completely willing to clarify and explain things further.
I know this probably sounds like an extremely selfish reason to beg strangers on the internet, but I feel myself running out of options, and I can tell the funds I have already accumalated thus far will not last me very long.
I feel truly at a loss here, I would have never considered doing something like this until today.
Please help me
