Independent Living + Moving Fee's

Donation protected
I did make one of these previously but removed (and refunded donations) due to harassment, trolls and just overall feeling horrifically embarrassed and upset about asking for help like this when I know people out there need more help for important things than this.

I reconcidered it because at the end of the day no one has to donate, no one has to share, no one has to help me in any way. Regardless of issues and beefs people might have with me, I'm going to reach out and if you do help, you'll forever have my gratitude. 

I also won't be posting the video I made to go with this, while it was raw and emotional, I know it will be used against me by people out there who wish nothing but bad luck and misery on me.

WHAT HAPPENED- - 
As many now I split with my partner of 13 years a month or so ago. It was my decision to call it quits as our relationship was becoming nonexistent, and the same issues kept re occurring without any resolve. 

The break up left me in a dark place and one morning while alone I attempted to take my own life. 

I failed and got the help I needed. I am on new medication and with the support of family and friends I am on the road to recovery.

WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW--
Because of the break up and suicide attempt I was abruptly lifted from my home and placed in care of my family. I was living with my brother for two weeks, and am now currently living with my mum in her two bedroomed bungalow by the sea.

My original place of residence was with my now-ex partner, we had a two bedroomed apartment which was mortgaged in his name and I paid 'rent' to him for bills and holiday funds.

So having had to move in with my mum I have my bare essentials and my dog Arlo, but everything else such as clothes my computer etc are back at my ex's apartment (who is looking after it all until I am settled elsewhere) 

Living with mum is not something I want to do long term. We haven't always seen eye to eye and she has a hard time understanding anxiety, depression and that I need my space. There is not a lot of room for me and Arlo, and I do not wish to live with my brother as he has two twin babies about to be brought home.

WHY I NEED HELP--
With the lack of space and privacy, I really need to get my own place. 

My plan is to find somewhere to rent closer to friends, and just get on with improving my life and getting better both mentally and physically. 

Due to my current living arrangements, work is hard and low paced. I don't get a lot of time to myself and it is not a place I can work comfortably due to lack of space. 

With your help I would like to raise the money I need to move into a rented place of my own. The money will go towards a deposit, agency fees and other things such as the first month's rent. I would also be using some of the funds to get myself home essentials like a bed, washing machine, furniture etc.

Everything will help get me started as I've never rented on my own before. I am both excited and terrified. 

So thank you for donating if you do - and if you can't, even just sharing this on all/any social media platforms will help.

Thank you.
