Hi, my name is Chi, and about a year ago, I was diagnosed with autism. I had to fight to receive my diagnosis. I feel like I have fought all of my life. I fought to go to nursing school, I fought to stay there, and I also fought to leave my toxic home. And then I became tired of fighting. My body gave out, and I became someone I did not recognize. And sometimes someone I did not like. I feel vulnerable saying that. It is true. I do like myself now.

I am asking for funding because I know I need help as an autistic person. As of now, I am unemployed, and I need to get back on my feet. I do not have a car, and I need to have a place to stay. I need to move out of the apartment where I am currently staying with my siblings and our cats soon; the lease is ending. I do not know where I am going after this. I have to leave in seven days. And I have been feeling extremely anxious and uncertain. Your help/generosity will allow me to think of a plan to restart my life. It will also allow me to help my family. Thank you. I should have asked for help a long time ago. I am uploading food I have baked because this is hard for me. I want to maintain privacy and reserve some dignity.I can answer questions about myself, and I will be transparent with you all.
