get kyle out of debt
Donation protected
Hi. I'm Kyle. In November of 2017 I was planning to commit suicide to kill myself. 911 was called and I was transported to the hospital via ambulence. At the hospital, I was declined any medical help. And later I was also declined mental help because they refused to admit me to a mental ward because, in their words, "the wards here are not gayfriendly" and they told me if I went, I'd probably be harassed and discriminated against. I was sent directly home a few hours later.
Then I got billed over $2,000 for the ambulence ride and hospital stay. My insurance does not and will not cover it.
I live with my parents. They are beyond homophobic. I came out to them as gay as a child and I have not been safe since. At age 16, my mother threatened to commit suicide and put the entire blame on me, because in her eyes, I "already had killed her". I had to have my teachers contact CPS for me. Sadly, nothing came of it. Then at 17 my mother and father threatened physical violence and death to me. I was homeless for a large part of my highschool life, sleeping on couches. I know that saying "I'm abused" leaves loose ends and questions, but to go any deeper into the abuse I've faced since childhood would be traumatic for me to relive. I am in therapy and on antidepressants and even sedatives just to try to live with the severe diagnosed PTSD they have caused me. I am now 20 years old and after moving out three times I have no where else to go but back to them. It's either that or homelessness, again.I know this is pathetic, I am trying so hard to fix it. I blame myself still for my PTSD and my parent's hatred towards me and my sexuality. I want out of their house and on my own more than anything. I had a little bit in savings, to try and move out, but now I have nothing. Because I am thousands of dollars in debt.
My parents don't allow me to work or have a job. Any attempt to get hired or get interviews is met with them not allowing me to leave the house or threaten me. Yes, I have tried to find interviews in secrecy. But every move I make is monitered by my family. I am currently still atempting to get interviews next month sometime, but my mother has made me loose jobs before and I expect her to do it again. Despite this, I still am trying my best to pave my way through this debt via selling my art. I will work as hard as I possibly have to to escape my situation.
I cannot have money to live on my own and away from my abusive family until this debt is paid off.
If I pay for my this debt in payment plans, it will take nearly 5 years to complete. And thats without interest. If I do it in a plan, interest will add much more to what I owe. I will never be out of this debt. I want to pay it off within the next two or three months so that I can live free of this weight.
Aswell as all of this, I have hernias and severe stomach issues. My intestines are really fucked up and don't work correctly. I can provide proof of this or better terms of my illness if required, I'm just a private person and I feel uncomfortable giving so much information about my disorders. But if asked to, I will. My gastroentologist visits, medication, and transportation to my doctors costs me hundreds extra every month. I am 20 pounds underweight and have been near my deathbed before because of this. My doctors and medication keep me alive. This is just to stress how much I need to use my money for my health, and not on this stupid bill.
I have tried every effort imaginable to escape the homophobia and abuse my family puts me through. Moving out, being homeless, and my last resort was suicide. The reason for my suicide attempt in the first place was a response to the PTSD my family has given me from years of abuse. But I can't leave them behind me until my debts are paid. And even then I need money to leave. Asking for help makes me feel pathetic and low, but I have no other options. I deicided that even though the world was homophobic and hated me, I didn't want to die. But having this debt in my life preventing me from escapeing or living on my own is bringing me back to the mentality. These donations will go only to my debts. If I receieve more than the goal ammount, they will still only go to medical bills and me moving out. This money would help me to get out of debt and be able to pay my medical bills, aswell as esecape an abusive situation. Thank you for reading this, and for your consideration.
