I’ll let you in on a little secret
I’m BROKE.
In order to convince my abuser to move out of my apartment and leave my life, I had to pay him a LOT of money, and now that I’m still not caught up on my bills, I have nothing. I do have a job but it’s barely paying for food. Not even, because I’m down to one meal a day, which is of course sending my anorexia back.
Also, now that the lease is in my name, I have to pay the security deposit of $1,000, while still paying rent.
Meanwhile, there were problems with my health insurance, so I had to pay for my meds out of pocket, the ones that literally stop me from killing myself, truvada for HIV, and the brace and painkillers for when my abuser broke my knuckle. Which I never went to the hospital for, because I couldn’t afford it. I cried and reset it myself. It will never heal properly. I also have to pay for testosterone and needles out of pocket. I’ve stopped doing my shots weekly, which is messing with my mental and physical health badly.
I haven’t paid my car insurance in so long that it’s currently unregistered, and I’ll have to pay hundreds of dollars in fines to get it back. If I were to get pulled over right now I would lose my car, which is quickly becoming the only place I’ll be able to live. Not only that, but my abuser used to drive my car when his was broken down, because he didn’t want to get a new one. And he drove it so terribly that the engine needs replacing as well as parts of the wheels. This used to be a brand new car less than a year ago. I bought it used but it was in perfect shape. Now it’s falling apart and it wasn’t even because of me.
If all my followers donate just a dollar, I would have enough to pay my security deposit and keep my apartment.
Please, please, please, help me. If you can’t donate, at least pass it on.
