In March 2017, my parents began forcefully arranging a marriage between myself and the son of a business partner of theirs. We grew up together but we’re not friends. It’s always been social between us; our parents are close. We are strangers. I call him “Charles Lee” because he’s just that–arrogant, reckless. Wild temper. He once hit me so hard I was brought to the emergency room. Our parents and the people around us believe him over me.
That said, in order to survive, I’ve had to do some questionable things. Which is what’s led me to my problem. Weeks ago, I tested positive for pregnancy. Took me awhile to see a doctor to confirm it despite the multiple pregnancy tests because I had to keep it a secret. That doctor trip took a lot of sneaking around and a very generous loan from a friend who barely has anything going on herself. I’m 5 weeks in. I’m running out of time to hide.
And I can’t have this baby. Having this baby means even more strict protocols than I already have now. It means I will be forced to marry “Charles Lee” as quickly as possible. It means I will lose what little freedom I have. It means I will be pulled out of school. It means I might as well be dead.
I live in a very religious country where abortion is illegal. I’ve found someone who does it safely, highly recommended by many other women; the price of her services and secrecy, however, is steep.
My finances are closely watched and there is no way I can suddenly justify taking the amount I need for the abortion without raising suspicion.
I’m opening commissions/requests–I have a lot of fandoms but aside from fanfic, I wouldn’t mind writing term papers or doing homework or research (just no math because I wouldn’t be able to give you your money’s worth).
As of October 7, 2017 I have $105 out of the $300 I need to cover medical costs and debts incurred.
If you have anything to spare, I’m only able to take payments through www.ko-fi.com/mirarespira – and if you don’t, please just send me positive vibes and spread this like wildfire. Please. I’m desperate.
ugh
