Proud of how this turned out idk
My uncle was excited to show me that I found a turtle on the side of the road, and brought it home so it wouldn’t get run over. We have named him Leonardo, and we are raising him as one of our own.
So I’m sure you all have heard about what happended a few months ago!! If you didn’t let me fill you in.
So this year I dropped out of school and ran away from my abusive parents to live w/ my grandmother.
It was ok until they brought their son and they left him over here and then everyone proceeded to crowd up on my grandmother. My step father, and biological mom came and moved in w/ us despite my grandmother giving them a house to live at w/ no rent provided they pay the bills and taxes
the house was in really awful condition and the lights were off 2 months out of the year and they showed no signs of trying to fix up the place or take care of us and make sure I had what I needed
so they were v verbally abusive and one day it escalated to physical abuse w/ my dad hitting me and pushing me down onto glass. I called the police and bc they found out we were all staying here they evicted my grandma and she has until the 14th of dec to move out!!
she’s basically stopped supporting me financially and I have no clothes, barely any food to eat, and every day she’s been telling me how’s she’s going to go into foster care and leave me w/ no place to stay bc she hates me for what I’ve done to her (getting her evicted)
I basically need money to buy myself clothes, a drawing tablet so I can start taking commissions and earn money myself, and possibly buy food bc no one in our house is able to take care of me or my baby brother
they’re both working adults w/ full time jobs and they’ve spent all of their money on frivolous things and ran off, leaving me w/ they’re son and no diapers or food for days at a time
im v stressed out and I’ve been disassosiated really badly bc of stress so if you could send money, reblog, or signal boost this it would help me alot!!
my paypal email is cuppersoncup@gmail.com !!
After the controversy, the school’s principal Steve Thennis said he won’t “check students’ undergarments” but will ask students to dress a certain way.
