trying earn so i can leave an abusive household
hello! i'm 22F and i'm in a really difficult situation and could use honest advice from people who've actually been through something similar.
i'm trying to earn money so i can eventually leave an abusive household, but i'm stuck on some basic problems that keep blocking almost everything i try:
- i don't have a phone, so i can't do phone verification (which almost every freelance/gig platform requires)
- i don't currently have access to my ID documents (dad keeps them with him)
- i do have a laptop and stable wifi
- i have no work experience/CV, but i'm a strong writer/communicator and decent with basic design tools (canva)
- i've tried Fiverr, Clickworker/UHRS, and general "passive income" advice, but almost everything hits a wall because of the phone/ID issue, or turns out to be a waste of time (months on survey sites for basically nothing)
if anyone has been in a similar spot, needing to earn quietly and quickly, i'd really appreciate any real, tested advice. not looking for generic "try freelancing" tips, more looking for what actually worked for you given similar constraints.
to clarify, i've already tried shelters/authorities here, they didn't help or consider it urgent. i'm not free to just leave or go to a friend's, movement is restricted. documents aren't accessible, and legal routes have failed so far. earning enough to leave quietly is genuinely the only path i have left.
thank you for reading this far. (:
