moving out for my mental and physical well being

Donation protected
Since birth my life has been full of trauma and insecurity. My mother and father couldn't cope and left me in the care of my grandparents and unfortunately they were violent to me and my sister. So when I was 3 years old my sister and I were taken into care. I was continuely placed in Foster homes and obviously this all impacted my physical and mental health. I attended a school for children with special needs which stunted my mental growth. As an adult I have never been capable of paid work and have always had to rely on the welfare system, goodwill and charity. Although I have contributed as often as I am able by doing voluntary work for genesis and charity shops. I am currently living in a hostel for the homeless on supported housing and am in regular receipt of assistance with anything academic, such as this crowd funding application. The rules of the hostel mean I can only live here for the length of a year and a half but they want us to stand on our own 2 feet and move out before the end of a year. I am crowdfunding to be able to pay my first month rent, deposit, bills and furniture, cutlery etc on a one bed bungalow with walk in shower and mobile warden from home search. I need to move out as soon as possible as I have already lived here for over 9 months. I feel that the move will be really positive and have a good effect on my physical and mental health. The nature of my current situation means I have to share my accommodation with ex convicts, ex drug addicts and other people who have been made homeless. This is stressful and I find it difficult to heal from my own past traumas and move on whilst I am living here.
