Thank you for clicking on my Gofundme. My name is Sol, and I’m a 22 year old black trans + queer college student who is trying to leave my childhood abusive home, and I need some support to do it.
Those of you who have been in abusive environments will understand how hard it is to actually leave. I’ve tried to several times and faced sabotage, manipulation and gaslighting to force me to stay. My abusive parents do not want me to leave and are using every tool they have, including other family members and their financial control over me to make me stay. I simply can’t go on in this environment any longer, having my safety constantly at risk because of my identity is grating at me and wearing me down. It’s thanks to my friends and community that I’m choosing to have hope and make this post at all.
This Gofundme is to help provide me with the financial support and cushion I’ll need to move out. I am currently job searching, and having money for necessities such as my car insurance to drive to work, first + last month rent and security, a laptop for school and emergency money in case I need to leave immediately will be a huge weight off my mind. I have a month to raise these funds in order to move in August.
I just want to be able to wake up every morning without the feeling of fear for my safety and walking on eggshells so that I might not face verbal abuse that day. I want to be able to heal from the 22 years of trauma I’ve suffered. I appreciate everyone who helps me with getting there.
I don't punch bugs but my boyfriend is 6'7" and 220lbs so I'll call him to get the bugs and he walks in and does his best new york gangster voice (he's British) and goes "is that guy bothering you, toots?" and then puts them in a cup
