Hello everyone! Bird here with exciting news! This saturday, the 18th, I’m finally moving up to Toronto, Ontario to live with my best friend!
This is great because my family is very disrespectful and is the main cause for many of my issues, mostly by saying many, many hurtful things and threatening me with harm. Not to mention the house i live in houses a chain smoker and it has drastically affected my health, to the point where i had to quit my job and school because I couldn’t breathe and constantly had the flu, contracted Acute Bronchitis for 3 solid months, and never truly recovered, and have since contracted it again(though slightly less seriously) just a few months ago.
I need out of here for my mental, emotional, and physical health.
However, as great as it is that I’m finally moving away to a healthier and friendlier enviroment, there’s still some troubles we’re going to be facing. Namely, that I’m not a Canadian citizen, have little to no money besides petty pocket change, and money will be hard for me to make without a work visa, which can be very difficult to get without a college degree, and full citizenship requires me to have lived in Canada for at least 4 full years.
So until I can get that work visa and get a stable job besides mowing lawns, money is going to be tight, especially on my most saintly friend(who also takes commissions! He’s an amazing artist and it’s on a pay-what-you-want basis), who will be housing me for as long as he is able. Which will hopefully be until I can hold down a job, which I really hope is a possibility. Or else I will have to move in with my dad, whose strictness, domineering personality, and explosive and outright dangerous temper has led me to fearing for my safety and suicidal thoughts in the past. I would very much rather not go back there.
So all I am asking is for donations. I’m not asking for much- every little bit helps. This money will be mostly used for basic necessities such as food, rent, and clothing, and probably future visas for me. All very necessary for me to not be living in a dangerous situation such as Homeless or At My Dad’s.
If you can help out, even a little bit, that would be fantastic. Please help me move to a better place for my mental and physical health- and help me stay there until I can support myself.
