Need help settling down
This is hopefully the last post I make about my situation, but I’m still grateful that I reached this stage of my life and that I’m almost stable and settling down.
I’m escaped my family in the middle east in August, after years of planning and reaching a breaking point. I was already physically and mentally abused by my family but at the month that my last semester in college just started, they were forcing me into an arranged marriage. I’m already a lesbian and I never intended to come out but that fact I was almost gonna marry a man that moment terrifed me so I abandoned my education and ran all the way here to the U.S.
I didnt have money or even a degree at this point and all that made me survive to this point was the kindness of this community who donated to me. Everytime I made a progress I was still short on money and was hesitant to ask again but each time I had the push and support from you all to make it through.
So far I became a resident and I applied to college as a transfer student (I have issues with my transcript now and I need to save up before k request it again) and I finally got a part time job.
But I am still in the DV shelter and I’m about to exit (I stayed there for 3 months and then dont consider me a DV victim no more). I’m moving to a room near my job but I only saved up for the first rent and security deposit and since I just started and still trying to find a second job I’m afraid I wont make it till next month.
So please, I’m so sorry for being desperate, help me settling down till I can support myself with rent. I’ll have a stable income by 3 weeks hopefully so boost this and donate even if a dollar or so. It makes a difference to me!!
And thank you so much for helping me survive and getting a second chance at life.
I haven’t got enough so far and I’m struggling with a college fee now on top of all of this. Please anyone who could spare me few dollars help!
