Two years ago, I made a big choice to move four states away from home to meet someone I’d never met in real life. I moved in, started a new job, and tried to build a life here. But recently, our relationship has been falling apart, and I feel the end coming soon. I haven’t seen my family in two years, and I want to get back home before I’m left without support. I don’t want to be a burden and ask my family for money, since it was my choice to leave.

The funds will be used to pay for bus tickets and public transportation to see my mom when I arrive, depending on which bus station I get dropped off at. If there’s anything left, it will help me work toward getting my own place and kickstarting my life back home.
