Getting out of a VERY Toxic living situation
Donation protected
My name is Sarah. The reason I'm fundraising is a bit of a long story. But in order to help me realize this goal, I'm going to have to tell it anyway.
I have a rather abusive family. They aren't physically abusive to me (My siblings were at one point but they aren't anymore), but they are just as toxic. Even though they are not PHYSICALLY abusive, they are very mentally, emotionally, and verbally abusive. They have gaslighted me and made me feel like I am insane and worthless for even suggesting that they are abusive. So, I have decided that in order to heal from everything, I am going to leave the state I live in and start a new life free of these people. However, moving is going to be VERY expensive, and at the moment I am EXTREMELY tight on funds. One of the people in this family I was born into has tight control over my funds (I receive SSI benefits) and I am not getting the things I need from those funds even though I am supposed to. So, I finally turn to anyone who reads this. I normally would not do this, but I am not going to have the funds I need in order to move by the time the funds are needed. The breakdown is like this:
-A mover is going to cost me about $3,500.
-I have an offer to stay with a friend when I move, but before I move in with them I have to get a motel for about a month, which will be about $2,000 for my stay.
-A flight out there will be about $200.
-I will need food once I am out there, which will be about $300 most likely, possibly more.
-I am also going to plan for possible emergencies, which will be around $1,000 that I am budgeting for.
I know that this is a LOT to ask. But this is a situation that I need to leave...and leaving this situation is the only way I can truly begin to build my life back up again.
I am asking for this if possible by August. My current lease expires in August, and again, I am NOT going to have the funds to find a place to go on my own. I would not be asking for such a sum if there were any other way I could secure those funds. I usually HATE taking money from people, and wish that I had other choices right now. I am working on my end to secure financial security, but at the moment this is near impossible.
I truly appreciate you taking time to read this...and any help, even sharing around, is appreciated.
