help a black trans teen move out
hi 😳 i’m 18 & i’m living with an abusive m*ther increasingly off the shits. she’s been wanting me out since my birthday months ago and sometimes goes into yelling fits just because i’m still here, occasionally threatening physical violence or the destruction of my electronics. she says by late june she’s demanding i give her $1k (which, um… no thanks!) or find another place to live. so yeah, i would really like to skedaddle, preferably without her knowing because i so very much want to never interact with her ever again.
i’m located in NYC and would prefer to stay here for the time being since i’m still in the process of legally transitioning & getting an ID (i have to wait like at least 12 more weeks just to get my birth certificate updated so i’ll probably just bite the bullet and get an ID with my deadname on it until then 😑), and am planning on participating in SYEP this summer.
i have about $2k in savings ($3k if i receive the maximum stipend from SYEP) so i can help with rent for a bit if needed but i’m unemployed, i’ll need a new phone (possibly laptop as well?) once i leave, i occasionally need to buy myself food, and there are currently uncontrollable barriers to my ability to get a job. these barriers should hopefully be eliminated in a few months if all goes well. i am fully vaccinated as of may 27 2021.
please DM me or send me an ask if you have any leads or know somewhere i can stay (before anyone asks, youth shelters are not an option for me for personal reasons), as well as discussing any details/logistics. in the incredibly fortunate event that any of you can provide me temporary housing, i’ll need help getting a suitcase for some of my belongings (i’ll reimburse you on the spot if you need to buy a new one) on leaving day since again, i don’t want my mother to know about this.
please reblog this even if you can’t help in other ways. thank you.
update i guess lol
mfw the earliest reservation date to get an ID in literally any DMV in the city is july 28 🥴 and i have to redo my birth certificate application which will take at least 20 weeks of processing haha quirky 🤪🤪🤪 please don’t hesitate to contact me if you know someone able to take me in who doesn’t live in NYC i’ll take all the plans i can get at this point. NYC is just a preference i am desperate lololol
