Hi, my name is Tristan. I’m a 25-year-old from Michigan who’s trying to leave an abusive relationship. Over the past 3 weeks, I have been touring apartments and looking for my own place so I could finally leave this mess in the past. Unfortunately, my abuser wants to do anything he can to control or tear me down. This includes fabricating lies about me in order to obtain a PFA and render me homeless before I had the opportunity to find a safe space to call home. Being new to Pennsylvania means I have very limited resources and I've been left with no choice but to ask for help.

For the next 10 days, I will be homeless. I’m asking for help with living expenses for hotels/motels until my 10-day PFA is up or until I sign my new lease. All/any help is appreciated.
