purplemanatees:

hey guys!!!!

so i’m back in a toxic household after being in americorps, where i worked on active disaster 10-12+ hour days for 6-7 days a week for 9 months which left me exhausted and burned out. they only gave a small living stipend (roughly $300/mo bc they already pay for food/housing/transport). thankfully i was able to save up a little bit, but not a lot.

the first morning i woke up after being back i cried for like 2 hours because i realized that i’m most likely not in a healthy environment anymore. long story short my mom is a terrifying person and, surprise surprise, my mental health is shit when i’m living here but it’s near perfect when i’m not living here.

i’m going to try to move out of my parents’ house within the next few months and i’m gonna have a lot of expenses to deal with. even if my family wanted to help with expenses they probably couldn’t because we’ve basically been living at the poverty line the majority of my life (partially because my dad lost a good job due to sexually harassing a bunch of women). I’ll be looking for jobs soon but for now here are some things I need a little help with if y’all are able:

-general moving expenses

-food + other potential bills

-i’m still $1500+ in medical debt from that time i got a uti/kidney infection over a year ago

-my laptop is on its last leg and i’ll need a new one pretty soon

-i desperately want to go back to college but i’m afraid i won’t be able to afford it

-when i came home i discovered that my cat peed on the majority of my clothes so i need new clothes (i’d been wearing them since high school anyway…)

SO i would be super thankful for any donations to help me out
