And happy birthday Bilbo Baggins and Frodo Baggins!
Hobbit Day is a name used for September 22 in reference to its being the birthday of the hobbits Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, two fictional characters in J. R. R. Tolkien’s popular set of books The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Bilbo was born in the year of 2890 and Frodo in the year of 2968 in the Third Age.
Help a young Black woman escape an abusive environment
I’ve been going back and forth with myself about creating this as I’ve never really wanted to put my business out there like that.
I’ve been living in an extremely abusive household for most of my life (I’ve been under authoritative care for some of it, have lived in hotels, hostels, with friends and relatives for the rest between the ages of 11-23). I’ve been threatened with homelessness again. I was threatened to have police take me out of the house just today for venting to a friend. This has been extremely traumatic for me as a Black woman. I’ve had the police called on me a lot, have been manhandled by them and have slept in cells since I was 14 due to false allegations. I’ve been hospitalised by this abusive parent which resulted in me getting surgery, have been made homeless countless times that the number escapes me and I’ve almost been stabbed by a sibling who is also physically abusive. I suppress it because I don’t want my mental health to decline but sadly it has been and a lot of the time I do fear for my safety. I am being told to kill myself which I cannot give them the satisfaction of doing, I know I have to leave though. I’ve used a lot of money to support my mother thinking this would stop her from kicking me out but as shown by the incident today, it can’t be helped. I also recently decided to walk away from my job due to on-going racial abuse so I’m literally depending on my savings right now.
Initially I begged for my mum to allow me to stay until December which is around the corner but as she keeps threatening to have the police take me out, I’d rather not risk it.
I’ve been isolated from family which has made it very hard to contact them for help. I don’t know any of them nor do I know where they live. That’s why I’ve come to ask for help from you guys. ❤️
There’s a lot of traumatic incidents I’ve had to experience living here that I’m not comfortable sharing right now but this is a synopsis of what’s been going on.
I’d like to ask for your support in donating to my gofundme, cashapp: £labonitafi, PayPal if you can as I really need to get out of this toxic situation on my own terms before I’m put out prematurely. I’ll be using the money for a deposit and a few month’s rent on a new place.
If you’re not in the position to donate, please reblog and share. ❤️❤️❤️
