HELP PLEASE, HELP!
I’m a senior in high school from India. I live in a family which is just not verbally abusive but also physically and this is before they even know that I’m into women. They’re extremely homophobic and what is happening now will only multiply infinitely if I came out to them. It’s not even a question of want now, I desperately, imperatively, need to get out of here, and I cannot reiterate this enough. My mental health keeps on deteriorating more and more with every passing day and I just want to freaking breathe. But I’m stuck, I’m always stuck and the only way out and away from this toxic place is for university for which I can leave in 5 months.
I got accepted into a university in Scotland, which is very very far from here, but the tuition costs much more than I can afford. I can’t take a loan because my parents are very deep in debt. I started a crowdfunding fundraiser, which accepts foreign donations, to send myself to college and that’s the absolute last way out I’m left with.
I’m aware that many people are not in a position to support even though they might wish to. But the queer community has so so much power, if this fundraiser manages to go viral across any social media platform; tiktok, reddit, instagram, or here on Tumblr, I can at least afford my tuition and then work two three jobs to afford living and everything else. Please help it pick up the pace on twitter as much as you can and consistently tag popular queer youtubers, tiktokers and strong allies who would want to donate amply or who could encourage their massive number of followers to do so. I’ve attached a kofi link below which accepts donations as little as $3. Those who wish to donate larger amounts can go to the fundraiser link below, which accepts donations from $25 onwards. PLEASE DO NOT let this post go stagnant, please keep on pushing and pushing forward till it reaches thousands or till it reaches a person who is easily able, and willing to donate generously. I desperately need help and I have absolutely no place else to go. Please please donate, I don’t know how else to convey the absolute urgency of this situation, please I implore you, to please help me, every dollar, pound, and euro counts. I have about 3 months to raise at least half the money or I won’t be able to apply for a visa. If I don’t get out now, I will be stuck here for 4 more years and I absolutely cannot afford that, at all. This community is the only community I have and I’m asking for your help because I really really need it right now. I’ve been stuck in an extremely small space with abusive people for over 14 months now, with no escape whatsoever. It is absolutely relentless, keeps on happening again and again and again. Being forced to stay here for any longer is absolutely going to destroy me, is already destroying me. Please please just get me out of here.
Those who donate to the fundraiser or kofi, I can make your photos into digitalised pop art images. Text me if you would want that in exchange for a donation. I would love to do more, but this is all I can afford. Please donate, thank you.
