Hello, fellow Kings, Queens, and everything in between!
I grew up in a very religious and toxic household. I’ve been brainwashed and manipulated, believing the wants and needs of others were the most important. (If someone wasn’t happy, I shouldn’t be either).
Over time, I grew mentally and physically exhausted.
My ‘home’ was nothing but a den of fear and anxiety. Constantly overthinking every action, every word, hoping I didn’t make a mistake.
I’ve been chained and silenced for so many years. The only thing keeping me here is my baby sunshine (he’s 1 year old and is the reason I have the strength to continue day by day). If I could, I would give him the world.
My birthday is coming up, and I have a strong feeling I will be getting kicked out of my ‘home’. (I’ve heard my ‘parents’ talk about it in private).
I don’t have any savings. I wasn’t allowed to have a job, and anything I did earn somehow, was taken for ‘safe’ keeping. The only way to get around where I live is by car, and I don’t have one. I don’t have any family or friends to rely on because I have been isolated for so many years.
I have at least a month before I become homeless, and I’m afraid when I do I’ll be forced to leave my fur baby behind. (even if I do have longer, I want to get out of here as soon as possible). We only have each other.
I hope to raise enough to find a place to stay for me and my baby until I can find a job and earn a steady income. If I could raise enough to afford a small car to stay in, that would be amazing. (Enough for daily necessities, transportation etc.)
I have too many bad memories here that trigger past trauma. Ideally, I would like to get as far away as possible (out of state or even the country).
I know this is asking a lot and it is selfish to ask money from strangers, but I’m really desperate. I’ve seen miracles happen before, can we make it happen here?
Anything helps and is appreciated!! Thank you so much!!!
(I’m not good with words, sorry)
To anyone struggling with a similar situation, I pray for your wellbeing and happiness.
When you’re stuck in a place for so long, you grow more curious. You begin to question things you never used to think twice about. Eventually, you question the world and your very existence. You embark on a journey, and by the end you have either answered your questions or come up with more (and that’s okay). No matter the outcome, the fact is you have discovered a part of yourself you never knew was there. Eventually, you become an entirely different person. No one is ever the same person they were at the beginning of their journey, no matter how small that change may be.
When I close my eyes, I imagine me and my sunshine taking a stroll on a beach, then taking a long hike up a tall mountain, riding a plane, train, or biking through a city, trying different cuisine from all over the world.
It might take a while, but I hope I can make it happen because my baby deserves the world.
(Please, please share this with anyone and everyone you know!! I don’t have/use any social media, and it’s hard to get my story out there without a community to rely on. This is time-sensitive. – Anything helps! Thank You!!)
