rich ppl give your local disabled gay nb abuse survivor (and their boyfriend) your $$$
henlo it’s me back at it again with the e-begging posts. i’m making this one because the way we’re doing things has changed a bit and the other post lost traction, so yeah. not necessarily urgent / an emergency but please keep reading and at least reblog ! ( and if you’re financially strained yourself please don’t worry about giving us anything or feel obligated - i only really want support from people who are in a more stable situation than we are. )
i’ll try to keep this short - last year i moved in with my bf, his parents, and his older brother in order to escape my family who abused me in various ways since early childhood. unfortunately this environment is not entirely safe or healing for either of us, but especially my boyfriend, as his parents and his older brother abuse(d) him. his older brother has physically assaulted him twice since i was here, the first time across the room from me which was extremely triggering and re-traumatizing. his parents used to violently physically abuse him as well, though nowadays they mostly get into loud arguments with each other, leave food around the house that’s earned us mice and cockroaches on top of generally not taking care of things, and they enable his alcoholism that he’s earnestly trying to recover from after his dad got him to be his “drinking buddy” at the age of 14. we both have jobs but they don’t pay well and we have a lot of expenses, so we need help if we wanna move out of here as soon as possible. my boyfriend also survived and was operated on for a cancerous tumor on his kidney this year, which he still owes over 4k in medical bills to the hospital over.
tl;dr: even though we won’t die if we stay here for a year or so more, living with my bf’s family is not good for either of us, and we want to be able to get our own place asap so we can both heal from our abuse and trauma.
if you’re able and willing to help us out a bit, then here’s how -
medical bills after surviving cancer - i made a previous donation post just for this pool. i moved the pool itself and the collected funds over to my boyfriend’s paypal account since he’s the one who puts money into the bills online. this pool has an actual goal that, once reached, we’ll be able to entirely pay off the remainder of what he owes to the hospital.
moving out fund - another paypal pool using my paypal account to collect funds for moving out! this will go to security deposits, rent, etc. and basically anything else involving getting an apartment. the goal here’s not really important. it’s just for whatever we can save to move out in a place where automatic bill payments and such won’t take the money away. hopefully i’ll be contributing to this fund myself soon.
for groceries, medication, car insurance, gas, etc.:
we’re not in danger of starving or anything, but we haven’t been able to grocery shop much lately due to paying for everything else. my boyfriend has IBS and i have ARFID due to sensory issues so us buying our own food is pretty beneficial to us (his family rarely goes grocery shopping, let alone anything that i can eat). the medication that i’m dependent on to function (with no FDA-approved generic) at home and at my job is $180 for a 30-day supply, which i can barely afford, and this is with insurance and a discount. i’m working on lowering the price but as of now it’s still expensive. basically money sent here will be used for bills and other necessities (e.g. braces and mobility aids since my body sucks, lol).
i’m an independent artist and also a casual e-boy so if you want something in return for your support, you have options!
art commissions - consider these “pre-orders.” it might be a few months before a piece is completed depending on what you get, due to my hectic work schedule and my health issues usually keeping me in bed on days where i get home from work.
onlyfans - not much content here, also due to hectic work schedule and my health issues restricting what i can do at home. no nudes, just spicy pics.
bandcamp - i sell what little music i’ve made here. two vocaloid songs and otherwise random ambient-ish / industrial-ish experimental tracks.
i can also proofread / edit both fictional and non-fictional prose (pricing is negotiable and you can ask for examples of my own written work) if you want. writing commissions can maybe be a thing but it really, really depends.
if you read all this way, thank you very much for taking the time to do so! reblogs would immensely be appreciated, and remember, don’t feel pressured to donate if you’re a fellow broke™ person. should the situation become an emergency, i will let y’all know <3
