Dual portrait of California Quail. The male has the more elaborate plume, presumably to pick up radio transmissions from the Quail Planet.

Hi, my name is allissa. If you don't know me, you likely know me from my previous work on Plus St or Constellatory.

I currently live in an abusive household with rich parents who take advantage of me, verbally abuse me, scream at me, and gaslight me. Life at home is an ongoing nightmare. The constant screaming matches over nothing hurt me and cause me to break down crying every time. My parents restrict my domestic and foreign travel outside of the house, pry into my personal life by knowing every little detail of what is going on, all so they can feel "safe". I'm 19, legally able to leave the house if I wanted, but they threaten to do horrible and vague things to me when I do. Every one of my girlfriends and friends who have seen their antics can will say they've been hurting me and are abusive. This vicious cycle has been going on for over 5 years.

I barely get enough money from them to leave the house as is, and my parents keep yelling and pressuring me to get a job despite me attempting to do so for weeks now. One time I did get an interview, but my mom forced me to cancel it because she "knew better"! My money gets dried up from me fleeing the house because of their abuse.

I desperately ask if you can still support me financially to help me live my life, eat food, get my meds, etc. Please donate with any of the methods listed on this website: https://itzzen.net/donate/ Any amount is appreciated, and I'm thankful for any donation I get, it all means the world to me.

I am going to be starting UConn in this fall, and I'm already graduated and out of high school. In addition to asking for money, I ask close oomfies and mutuals in the US to please consider housing me up until August 23rd where I will need to move into my college doorms. I am relatively quiet and kept to myself and I live very light (as in I really don't need much, a small room with an air mattress is good enough). Please contact me via https://itzzen.net/contact if you can house me.
