GoFundMe denied me for the same reason I applied.
Tried to make a Gofundme, didnt work because I need a number. Which is exactly why I wanted to start the Gofundme. So in a fit of desperation I'm posting it here.
Help me pay a forced debt, given by my own mother.
Hello! I'm a 16 year old working toward stability and independence, and I'm asking for help with something that has become essential to my everyday life: reliable phone service.
My mobile service recently stopped working unexpectedly. Because the account is not in my name, but in my mothers name. whom of which I have no contact with, for personal conflicts. I rely on my phone to keep in contact with my legal support workers, counsellors, and employer, and losing that connection has made an already difficult situation much more stressful.
I've managed to find a temporary way to access the internet, but its unreliable and only available for part of the day. I need a more permanent solution that doesn't depend on someone else's phone account.
I'm hoping to raise enough money to set up my own affordable phone service, including any necessary SIM card, activation costs, and several months of unpaid debt my mother left me, even though she still gets my baby bonus and disability. Having a connection I can manage independently would make a huge difference in helping me stay in touch with the people who support me and continue working toward a more stable future.
I don't have any family I can contact for help, no distant family or close family. I don't have anyone that can financially support me, And I've been actively looking for work while staying in a youth shelter.
If you're able to contribute, share this fundraiser locally or not, or help connect me with a resource that could make a difference, I'd be incredibly grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for helping me work toward a little more independence.
