the roof cracked apart to let the light in.

Hello,

I am a non binary trans girl currently living in rural London, Ohio. I fled here to my family after leaving an abusive relationship in early January. I hoped I would find support here, but I was wrong. My family is incredibly transmisogynistic, particularly my mother, and refuses to acknowledge that I am transgender. She is actively preventing me from finding support in the community. I suffer from borderline personality disorder and PTSD, so this environment is making those conditions infinitely worse. I have already attempted suicide once while here and was hospitalized against my will for 8 days.

I do have one supportive friend, however, they live in Portland, Oregon. They are willing to let me stay in their studio apartment. The only problem is getting there. I am currently applying for jobs but I feel the clock is ticking on my mental health and the toll it’s taking is becoming unbearable. Suicidal thoughts are resurfacing.

Please, if you have any money to spare, even the smallest amount, I would be incredibly grateful. Sharing my link is also extremely helpful. These funds will 100% go to flying me and my cat, my emotional support animal, to Portland and becoming situated there.
