I’m reaching out for help during an incredibly difficult and uncertain time in my life.

I’m currently abroad and nearing discharge from an institution I was placed in following circumstances involving my family. Once I’m discharged, I won’t have their financial or housing support anymore, and I currently don’t have any safe or stable place to go back to.

That leaves me facing the very real possibility of homelessness in London, with winter approaching.

I’m starting this fundraiser because I need help bridging the gap between discharge and becoming independent again. I’m not asking for anything extravagant — just enough to secure a safe place to sleep, cover basic living costs, transportation, food, and the initial expenses involved in finding longer-term accommodation and rebuilding some stability.

The funds raised will mainly go toward:

* Temporary accommodation while I look for somewhere sustainable to live
* A deposit and initial rent for longer-term housing
* Food and basic necessities
* Transportation and essential day-to-day expenses
* Costs associated with getting back into a stable and independent position

Having to ask for help publicly is something I never expected. My immediate priority is making sure that when I’m discharged, I have somewhere safe to go instead of ending up on the streets.

I’m doing everything I can to move forward and regain my independence, but I can’t manage this transition alone.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, would genuinely help give me some breathing room and time to get back on my feet. And if you’re not able to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean a great deal to me too.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for helping me through what is an extremely uncertain time in my life.
