My name is Alexander Wilson. I have Cystic Fibrosis, am diabetic, and I'm currently stuck in an incredibly unstable home with my significant other, Violet. I was forced to move back in with my parents after her job fell through, and at the time I worked with my parents and they were moving, so I'd lose my job as well, and we would both lose our home.

It's been over a year now since moving in, and a part of me feels like dying on the street might have been a better option. They act as if they're better than anyone else, my father pretends he always knows better which has resulted in bills piling up, and an infestation of both roaches and bed bugs. As a result, the house has been steadily falling apart as they try and fail to take care of it, my dementia/bipolar grandfather, and their six dogs. They're unbelievably emotionally abusive, blaming myself and Violet, as well as my younger siblings for all of their own problems and mistakes.

I've been assaulted by them, threatened, and as of now I'm struggling just to hang on. I have no job here, and have been using my SSI just to hang on as best I can to take care of food every month and Violet's medications. They want me to work for them, but they no longer plan on paying me (They claim that 300 dollars per *week* is fair to take from me for the one bedroom I'm allowed to be in), so I'd be straining my health in the heat just for their sake, and take none of the pressure off of myself.

All I'm trying to raise money for, is to take pressure off of myself, to get some better food for us, and to help get us out of here. There are opportunities to do so, but I need at least some money to be able to get those going. And right now I don't have any wiggle room to work with.

Anything would be appreciated, anything to get us back on our feet enough to get out of here, this isn't something I ever wanted to have to rely on, but I'm out of options. I've gone through every avenue that I can find at this point. I tried getting food stamps just so I at least wouldn't have to worry about food, but that proved fruitless. I was going to Arlington Charities, and that helped, until my parents decided they needed it more and now I have nothing. I've resorted to taking what I can, when I can, just to stretch the tiny amount I have a little further.

Violet is trans and very uncomfortable about her appearance, but if I can get a photo of us without her knowing, I'll add that too. Until then it will just be a photo of myself. And I will add more photos over time, and more to my story as I feel able.
