Kicked Out - Joel
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Joel, I'm 19 and on track going into my second year of college at San Jose State. Yesterday, after an argument with my parents that almost became physical, broke out resulting in my dad telling me I had one week to leave the house. I am being kicked out for a few differences with my parents but the most toxic is my sexuality. I am gay and in a strict religious household where I was never allowed to express myself freely. I came out unapologetic last night which just led to so much mental and emotional trauma and at this point it is what I have to do to survive.
I ask for this amount because I have to pay shared rent by the first week of august which is $520 plus utilities in San Jose. Knowing I will not have the support of my parents I believe I should have my first two months secured as I look for a job up in the area and get my feet secured on to the ground. This goes beyond just paying rent, this allows me to buy groceries, needed school supplies, self care products and most importantly continue my education at SJSU. Any amount would help at this point, pride put aside I'm turning to y'all because my parents turned on me. Thank you so much just merely reading this. Please Share.
