《 Venmo and CashApp at end of post 》
I’m Julian (aka Roswell), and I’m an 18 year old, neurodivergent, chronically ill, queer trans man with really awful parents and expensive college to deal with!
I recently started college and moved into my dorm (pets not included), and I have basically no money to fund my life with. I'm unable to find work due to the fact that I'm a full-time student, lack reliable transportation, and have conditions that limit the types of job I'd be eligible for. This leaves me with no income to fund my medical (mental, physical, and/or trans related), educational, or general needs.
Both of my parents are abusive, transphobic, and ableist. The consistent exposure to emotional/mental abuse has resulted in me having crippling CPTSD and social anxiety. My mother is the worst offender, and I'm incredibly relieved to be out of her house. However, she is constantly insisting that if I don't stay in touch or don't allow her to visit, I'm "a selfish asshole who will regret ruining a relationship", and even threatens to just track me down on her own (she is in my area often, so this is a legitimate stressor).
I suffer from asthma, tremors and pain in my hands, and chronic headaches, all of which I have been unable to receive viable treatment for. I also have sensory processing disorder and suspected ASD, the latter of which I have been unable to get diagnosed due to my unsafe previous environment.
The yearly cost of the college I'm attending is estimated at around $21,000, and there's no way I'll be able to afford tuition, housing, books, food, medical, and personal expenses.
I enrolled in a payment plan which is primarily covered by financial aid, but I still owe $785 every month. My father is unwilling to help, and I refuse to involve myself with my toxic mother (who would be unable to help financially anyway). I currently only have enough in my bank account to cover two months worth of payments on my own, but that's about it.
ANY HELP AT ALL WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!! EVEN IF IT'S JUST A REBLOG!
