🚀 CRITICAL: Environment Toxic. Fund Gap. FINAL 36 HOURS.
This is the final, most urgent update. We are in the last 36 hours.
The Situation: I returned to the house to pack. I lasted less than an hour. The environment is not just unsafe; it's physically toxic. My housemates' cats have saturated my room with ammonia in the time that I was gone washing my clothes and engaging in basic fucking self-care. So my last safe space is gone.
I am currently wearing a mask lined with Vicks VapoRub just to be able to breathe inside. I cannot sleep here. I cannot stay here. Please, gods, I can't. ☠️
The Deadline: My exit deadline is no longer Monday. It is this Sunday night.
The Financial Reality: As had been discussed in a previous update, part of the $746 you all generously donated has been spent on the non-negotiable costs of escape:
🔹 Multiple, repeated washings of all my clothes (decontamination).
🔹 Packing supplies (boxes, tape, bins).
🔹 Food and supplies to survive while packing.
After accounting for everything, I have approximately $400 left for the exit itself.
This is the hard reality: $400 is not enough to cover the one-way truck rental (which requires a debit card hold) AND the gas/tolls for the 15-hour drive to Pittsburgh.
I am now in an impossible position. I am being poisoned by cat pee in a house I cannot leave, with a deadline I cannot meet. I have no other viable, safe options. This fund is the only path that gets me and my dog out safely by Sunday.
We are no longer building a buffer. We are funding the physical exit. The truck. The gas. The tolls.
If you have been watching and waiting, the time is now. This is the final 36 hours. Please. Help me close this gap and get on the road safely on Sunday.
