Help A Black Trans Disabled Survivor
Donation protected
My name is Dandelion (no pronouns)! I'm a disabled trans (tme) black 19-year-old. I am a CSA and domestic violence survivor.
On December 1st, 2020 I was kicked out by my mother after being outed (more details on that situation below) . Following this, I lived in a domestic violence shelter with my ESA from that date to April 1st, 2021 when I was able to secure an apartment and a car. In September of 2021, I had to suddenly move after my landlord refused to renew my lease for her mother to move in instead. Right after that, I had to stop working due to my CPTSD and other disabilities. Since then, I've barely been able to leave my apartment. Before my breakdown in September, I worked full time for over a year to be able to support myself. I had to dropout of high school when I entered the shelter months before I would have graduated my senior year just to work in an environment where I experienced extreme racism, transphobia and ableism every day from management, coworkers, and customers. Since then I have been waiting for my Social Security disability application to be approved. I can barely get out of bed most days and am always isolated. My disability symptoms have become so overwhelming and it's terrifying watching my body fail me and there's nothing I can do about it. In addition to this, I have been barely getting by depending on food stamps for groceries and receiving no other income. I haven't been able to get my medication or any other necessities. As well, my car, which has already needed repairs,(my right side mirror has been broken for months) battery won't start, registration is outdated and insurance. My landlord is now threatening eviction because of past due rent that I have been trying to crowdfund for with little luck. Everything is so overwhelming and I have to do this all alone. If you are able to help in any ways I would be so grateful.

I haven't wanted to publicly add this here before but I think it's important to include/have a record somewhere just in case. Before my mother kicked me out (story in images below) from the age of 9 my life has been a series of homelessness and living in domestic violence shelters due to running from my father who is one of my abusers and rapist. He was in the military in the intelligence department and now works for ICE. He would stalk me and my mother and siblings and threaten to hurt me if I ever told what he did to me. My mother was aware of what he did to me and never did anything about it until I started to remember years later. I've had a very long life full of abuse from so many people surrounding me. Ive never had a chance to feel secure or safe. I haven't known stable housing since I was 9 years old and even then it was a dangerous situation inside the household with my abusers. I would appreciate any support so I can live a new life now where I can be secure in having a safe place to exist.
