I'm sure everything will be alright~

sorry if this is all over the place, my head is still pounding from yesterday but i tried my best to be coherent. this is the worst my situation has been in a long time. my father has a history of being violent and aggressive when he’s drunk, this time he went too far. i try not to get involved with anything involving my family, but last night i heard screaming from the kitchen and it sounded bad. my siblings and i all came to see what the commotion was just in time to see him swing a frying pan at my mother’s head. 

my youngest brother disappeared and me and my other brother tried to get in between our parents to stop it because my mother was already bleeding but he fought back against both of us, i don’t know what specifically happened to my brother but his face is all bruised and swollen and i got my head slammed against the wall multiple times. my phone ended up shattered on the ground broken beyond repair and i somehow got glass in my foot that i've since removed

idk if my younger brother called the cops or if the neighbors heard what was going on but they showed up, my father told them everything was fine even though several of us were bleeding and obviously not fine. my mother refused to say anything but my siblings and i spoke up and my father is now in jail. my mother told me that i shouldn’t have said anything, i’m a horrible influence, this is my fault as the oldest, i should’ve known better, and that i have until the new year to find somewhere else to live. i have three weeks to scrounge up enough change to try and survive in below freezing temperatures and i have no fucking clue what i’m going to do. 

i’ve reached out to a couple shelters to no avail and i don’t really have IRL friends who can help me. the only thing i can think of is my grandmother or extended family, but they all live 300 miles away and my parents sold my car without my permission so i can’t drive down there myself. i don’t know what to do. i’m so scared and i have nowhere to turn and i have less than a month to figure this out.

i’m going to reach out to my grandmother/family but if all else fails, the cheapest motel in my area is $45/night. i have $13 to my name at the moment. in the next few weeks, i need to secure a place to sleep at night, as well as transportation to get out and away from here, and at least a burner phone from the store, a flip phone will absolutely do and those are like $10-$30 i think. please PLEASE help me monetarily if you can, if not, you can also help just by boosting this post so more people see it. thank you for reading

all of this is because i was trying to defend my mother, just for her to turn around and kick me out. i just don’t know what to do anymore. i don’t have enough money to consistently stay at motels since the cheapest rate around me is $45/night, and that’s going to drain through what i have saved up in only a few days. i know that a branch-specific subscription to the YMCA is $47/month, which will allow me somewhere warm to be during open hours and give me access to showers and drinking water at the very least. i’m scrambling to figure out how i’m going to survive this winter, but i know i’m going to be borderline living out of the YMCA and the library at this point

please PLEASE consider sending a few bucks my way, every little bit helps so much more than words can properly explain. please spread this post around as much as you can, i have a little over a week to get my shit together before i get kicked out into the freezing cold. thank you for reading

hello gay people in my computer. as much as i have tried to hold the strings together it looks like i am about to get sucker punched once again by the world's slowest fist made of dollar bills.

the situation; i am the sole breadwinner at the moment for a household of three. one household member is too disabled to hold down a job and just had his disability application denied. we are going to try to do what we can but, you know. that stuff takes time that we don't have.

the other person has a job that pays significantly less than mine but regular bills just consume everything like a hungry animal.

all three of us are disabled, trans, require expensive medicine to live (me in particular), need food to live, need to pay for rent, electricity, etc.. one of our cats is ill and we literally just cannot take her to a vet because the x-ray she needs is 650 dollars we don't have. the other two haven't had a checkup in a while either, because, again, money we don't have.

it is just all very much, and then the $2000 dollar surprise expense comes and punches us in the collective balls. i do not know if i will have the ability to fundraise all of it off tumblr but it would be nice to have some assistance, i know we are all just sort of passing the same 20 dollars around.

but. yeah. anything helps.

tl;dr i need to wrangle up $2000 in 7 days.

$230 / $2000

$390 / $2000

$600 / $2000

i won’t ever forget you october 3rd

I have three jobs that are all unstable. I live in complete poverty as a sole provider to a family of three in the global south. I am on maintenance medicine for hypocalcemia, type II diabetes and hypothyroidism for the rest of my life. My mother is a full time wheelchair user with very low movement, my father is managing a chronic kidney disease, and my sister is autistic with a low frustration threshold. I am their sole provider, and now dealing with nerve damage post surgery- a quarter of my face, and nearly my entire neck has not healed properly- its numb and painful and makes it hard to work for me as it limits my own movement somewhat. If you've ever taken joy from my art or little posts, I would love your help. I am grateful for this second chance at life, I would like to stay healthy and keep living. Thank you so much!
