I Want to Leave, But I am Afraid

Hello everyone,

I'm writing this because I don't know where else to turn.

I have been abused by my foster family for most of my life, and I desperately want to leave my country and start a new life somewhere safe. When I was a child, I was sexually abused by my babysitter. I never told anyone because I was afraid, and the trauma has stayed with me ever since. I'm 27 years old now, but those experiences still affect me every day.

My biological mother left when I was two years old, and I haven't seen her in about 25 years because she lives in another country. Growing up with my foster mother was extremely difficult. I often felt controlled and mistreated, and many of the plans I made for my future were destroyed. Even now, I don't feel like I have the freedom to make my own decisions. Her children still treat me like a child, even though I am older than some of them.

I graduated from university, but I have no job and very little money. I feel trapped. In my country, many opportunities seem out of reach unless you have money or connections. I don't even have a passport yet, despite trying several times.

I'm losing hope, but I'm still trying to find a way forward. I need help leaving this situation and rebuilding my life.

If someone is willing to help me open campaign or guide me through another safe way to raise funds, I would be deeply grateful. If you would like to help or have any advice, please reach out to me.

I don't post my picture because I'm afraid my foster family might see it and cause more problems for me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your kindness, support, or even sharing this message could make a real difference in my life.
