#MutualAidRequest day four 🏳️‍⚧️

update: We've received $300 of donations! This might not seem like a big milestone to some, but this is life changing for me! Thank you all so very much for your kindness!! I almost have enough to pay one of the remaining school fees now! I can't thank everyone who has donated or shared enough. Thank you for helping me make my dreams come true!!

Hi, I'm Cey. I'm trans️‍🏳️‍⚧️ and stuck in a very controlling and abusive household. I recently got accepted into my dream college (NIU), and this might be my only good shot at moving out and building a better life for myself and my support dog. College fees are more than I had anticipated, and I've spent all of my savings just on solidifying my spot in the school. I'm struggling a lot to get financial aid (my parents refused to fill out the FAFSA, because they don't want me to leave). I'm doing everything in my power to make this work out, but I can't afford the fees, let alone tuition, housing, and basic necessities. I'll need to leave for school on July 30th, if everything works out. I'm doing everything I can to try to get a job and save up before I have to leave, but I haven't been able to land a position yet. Due to my situation and environment, I'm at a very high risk of becoming homeless. I'm also in southern USA, which is very hostile for trans people. Being able to go to a safe state, have a safe place to sleep, be able to further my education, and make my dreams of a better life come true would be incredible. Anything at all helps immensely, and I will be eternally grateful! Just sharing helps! Thank you so much for your time and for helping me get to safety!

To anyone who shares or supports: I cannot thank you enough! You're helping me to get out of a situation that I wasn't sure I ever would. You're helping me chase my dreams and change my life for the better. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Things have taken a turn for me in both good and bad ways recently. I got accepted into my dream school, but I'm struggling to be able to afford to go. And since being accepted into my dream school and wanting to leave my abusive household, I'm at an even higher risk of homelessness now. Anything helps greatly, even just sharing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart :QueerCat_Trans:

day seven and we've raised $300 so far!! Thank you so much everyone :QueerCatHeart_Trans: !!

update: just got an email from the school, I got a partial scholarship for my academic abilities!! that's so cool I'm so excited!! that will be really helpful! in light of that and also having applied to as many jobs as I can, I've lowered the goal a lot. Now it's for just enough to cover transport and the final fees, since I can use the scholarship for books, and part of tuition and housing. I'm hoping I'll hear back from one of the applications soon and be able to get a job. The sooner the better, I need to save up as much as I can, and hopefully I'll be able to transfer to a location near school so I'll already have a stable job in place. Thank you all for helping!!

Alright people, I know this update is nearly a week late, but this week has been full of anything and everything and I haven’t had the spoons to write this out so here we go: There has been a BIG change in plans.

For those of you who are just finding me for the first time: Hi! My name is Connie. Along with my wife, I’m trying to move from Maryland to Seattle, Washington. Health issues, family issues, homophobia, transphobia and a general bad job market have made Maryland a generally bad place for us to live.

My wife has been working 3 jobs in order to save up money for this move and we’re reaching the point where the move itself should be possible. Finding a place to live is a little more difficult given some recent law changes. This, however, is not the biggest issue we’ve come to face this week.

Part of our plans involved getting some very specific financial aid which we were 95% sure we would get and due to circumstances that are out of our control that money simply isn’t coming. This has led us to a very difficult decision. One of the main reasons for moving there was for my wife to attend a specific school. She’s already been accepted and is enrolled but without that extra aid we won’t be able to afford her classes. Thankfully there is still the option of her to delay until the fall semester when hopefully we will be in a better financial situation.

The plus side of this is that we SHOULD be better off financially by the fall not to mention it gives us time to adjust to the area before getting super busy. The downside being that this pushes her entire education plan back not 1 but 2 semesters because she will also be missing out on summer classes. We’re still planning to make our move when we had previously scheduled because things just work out that way but it DOES give us more wiggle room to make the move.

Thanks again for any help. All donations, shares, boosts, and advice are greatly appreciated. Every little bit counts.

Trying to keep posting new updates every couple of weeks to let people know how things are going. Unfortunately, this update is less about our progress and more about how we now have MORE reason to leave this place. So on to the short intro:

Hi, everyone! I'm Connie and along with my wife, I'm trying to move to Seattle in January!

My wife is currently working 3 jobs and we're saving every penny we can in order to make this happen and we're also asking for anything that can be spared. Our situation here in Maryland has been difficult at best. Between health issues, family issues, homophobia, transphobia and a general bad job market, life has not been kind to us, so we're excited to start anew in a better place.

Now for this update I have to be very careful what I say because of some legal issues. My sister recently informed me that she has had a stalker for the last 9 months or so. The reason this only now comes to my attention is because her stalker turns out to be a substitute teacher in my child’s school district. Not only that but I later found out that she was in the school WITH my child a couple weeks ago. This gives us a whole new reason to want to be away from this area.

In other news: We’re starting to put in some applications for apartments that meet our needs. It looks like we’ll have a rough time meeting some of their requirements, but we’re trying anyway.

We’re still leaning towards the possibility of driving out. It’s not going to be a fun drive, but it gives us a lot more freedom in how we move some things as well as when we stop to rest and where.

Thanks again for any help you can provide. Every little bit brings us that much closer to a better, and safer life.

Alrighty, it's been a couple weeks so it's time for a new update!

Hi, everyone! I'm Connie and along with my wife, I'm trying to move to Seattle in January!

My wife is currently working 3 jobs and we're saving every penny we can in order to make this happen and we're also asking for anything that can be spared. Our situation here in Maryland has been difficult at best. Between health issues, family issues, homophobia, transphobia and a general bad job market, life has not been kind to us, so we're excited to start anew in a better place.

Recent updates: We're currently spending what free time we have cleaning and organizing our belongings. We've already come to understand that a large portion of our things will not be able to make this move with us. Some of the more valuable things will be staying with people who we trust to take care of them, and others are being donated or outright trashed depending on usefulness and condition.

We're still looking for the right apartment to move into that will be a good home for us to eventually bring our child to join us. This hasn't been easy within our limited price range. We are also open to the possibility of moving into a smaller place for a short time and upgrading when we get closer to him joining us.

Finally: We're reconsidering the possibility of driving. The entire trip is looking to be 40+ hours of drive time and we're not thrilled about the idea, but this will drastically cut down on moving costs considering not only do we not have to pay someone to transport our vehicle, AND I can avoid the dreaded TSA, but we also have more space in which to bring our most valued belongings. (And if things work out, we'll stop to visit some friends along the way.)

Thanks again for any help you can provide. Every little bit brings us that much closer to a better, and safer life.

Time to post another update: We're still trying to move to Seattle in January!

It's been slow going but things are in motion. We've been apartment / house hunting in the area. We have a rough estimate of what we can afford and there is the potential of having housemates if we get a bigger place.

One of the big setbacks we've hit so far is that my parents are doing literally NOTHING to help us. My mother has flat out refused to even share the link to the #gofundme because she doesn't like "the wording" of some parts. WTF, mom? So much for being the supporting parent! Still better than my flat out transphobic father who hasn't even LOOKED at the page. >_>

All the same, we're saving up as much as we can to make this happen, and anything you could spare to help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. ❤️

Sharing an update: Funds are being received. Thank you to those of you who have donated even the slightest amount towards our goal. You are helping us in ways you don't even know.

For those of you seeing this for the first time: Hi, I'm Connie! I'm trying to raise funds for my wife and I to move to Washington for a better life. Better jobs, safer communities, and above all getting away from harmful people where we are now. (More info in the description and previous update linked below.)

We are still a long way from our goals, but progress has been made. My wife is currently working 3 jobs to get as much as possible before the move to make sure we have some stability when we get there, but as it stands right now with my calculations, we may just barely make it there.

Any little bit you can spare is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

OK It's official. We are asking for help. We are dead set on making this move happen no matter what. Now with updated information!

Also, I wanted to add another detail that I'm afraid to put in the actual description:

Over the last 2 years as I've transitioned, my father has become increasingly hostile towards me. Despite his claims, he's not the "accepting ally" he thinks he is. He's shown himself to be transphobic, homophobic, and as is turns out, xenophobic (as I recently learned) towards Asians, on top of the racism he picked up from HIS father.

He's always been somewhat abusive to my mother and and he's doing worse than ever. I've been trying for the last 6 years to get away from this man and now more than ever I'm afraid to live under his roof.
