Help me get my life on track
Donation protected
My name is Hayden Houston. Around 4 months ago I was in a Dental Assisting course, but had to drop out due to circumstances. I then decided to move from Columbus, Ohio to my biological mother's home in Tampa, Florida. After a gruelling 14 hour road trip across half the country I made it there, but I was, according to my mother, unable to find a "proper" job in the mere 3 weeks I was there.
She then kicked me out of her home and forced me to drive back to Ohio. After I left, barely out of the gate I got into a car accident. Luckily I was fine, however my car, whilst drivable, was obviously not road safe. My mother allowed me to stay one more night, though the next day she forced me to drive cross country with only 82 dollars and without checking my car with a mechanic. I fortunately made it and for the next two weeks I lived with my father and step mother. They took away internet access and forbade me from seeing my friends on threat of homelessness, until I gained a job and a first paycheck.
I have clinical depression, which already makes it extremely difficult for me to find work. My parents bullying me to try to force me to find it, threatening to make me homeless, and barring access to my only forms of stress relief made getting a job impossible. They also refused to pay for proper medical treatment for my mental condition and both they and the medical establishment ignored me when I begun to harbour suicidal thoughts and informed them I had a plan to take my life.
After two weeks of this massive stress building up, I went through with my plan and attempted to take my life with an overdose of antidepressants. I suffered a grand mal seizure but survived. After a week in the hospital I was put into a mental ward to treat my depression. I will not speak much of what happened there, beyond that the staff served as bullies to us patients, purposefully attempting to agitate us for an excuse call the guards just so we would be sedated. I got out just recently.
However, my step mother and father are still unsympathetic and, after not even a full day, believed me to have 'hacked' into the internet at their house and kicked me out. I'm looking for a place to stay, but I have no car, no job, and no permanent place of residence. Thus the high goal, as at present I don't have anything at all to my name and am desperate to make a fresh start. Any and all money will help.
Besides finding a job and a place to stay to sustain me in the short term, my long term aspirations are to create content for tabletop roleplaying games such as Pathfinder. Any excess money I receive from this will be going a long way towards my attempts to establish myself among the names of 3rd party publishers and to create my own content to get published.
So please, help me out if you can. I don't enjoy begging, but I need everything I can get.
