My fiancé and I are trying everything we can to get out of Louisiana and start over

My fiancé and I have reached a point where we genuinely don't know what else to do, so I'm asking for help.

I'm transgender, and my current family living situation has become extremely hostile and emotionally exhausting. My parents do not accept me for being transgender and regularly insult me because of it. On top of that, there is constant yelling, arguing, and belittling directed at both me and my fiancé.

Recently, my stepmother came into our home and spent around an hour yelling at and insulting us. She attacked my fiancé personally, telling him that he's useless without his mother and saying other incredibly hurtful things until he broke down crying.

Living in Louisiana has also made an already difficult situation harder for me as a transgender person. At this point, we don't believe simply finding somewhere else nearby will give us the fresh start we're looking for. We want to leave Louisiana entirely and relocate to Rock Springs, Wyoming, where we hope to finally build a stable and independent life together.

The problem is that we've been getting hit from every direction financially.

We currently don't have a working car. My fiancé has spent roughly the last three months applying for job after job. We've gone from restaurant to restaurant applying anywhere we could think of. He's tried applications both with and without portions of his previous work history, and despite being willing to work, he keeps getting told that employers have decided to go with someone else.

We're not sitting around waiting for somebody to rescue us. We're selling our broken-down car and its parts, our VR headsets, and other belongings we can live without. We're putting our own income toward the move as well. We're trying to turn basically anything we have of value into a way forward.

We've calculated that approximately $6,000 would allow us to relocate and get established:

• $1,000 for the moving truck
• $1,000 for initial housing/move-in expenses
• $1,000 for fuel, food, and travel expenses getting to Wyoming
• $500 for groceries and necessities after arriving
• $2,000 for a basic used vehicle after we arrive so we can get to work, stores, and appointments
• $500 for unexpected moving expenses and emergencies

We already have $1,244 committed from our own available money and help from family, and everything we make from selling our belongings will also go toward getting us out.

I'm exhausted and scared about what happens if we can't make this work, but I'm still trying. We aren't looking for anything luxurious. We want a roof over our heads, basic transportation, the ability to work, and the opportunity to live independently without constantly being insulted or torn down.

If you can donate, it would mean more than I can properly express. If you can't, sharing the fundraiser or pointing us toward resources that could help us relocate or reduce these costs would also be incredibly helpful.
