First off, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to look over this page and hear my fiancee's dilemma; I hope you'll be able to help him.

So... I guess I should start from the beginning: My Finacee’s in trouble. He’s in an abusive home, and unable to move out at the moment. He was abused, especially as a child-- and long story short, mom got guardianship of him. (Technically that's expired now that he's 21, but she's still his SSI payee.) No one in walking distance wants to hire him, and his mom refuses to allow him a bike. It's gotten to the point it's affecting him physically, migraines and nightmares being some of his issues, not to mention horrible eyesight from the abused as a kid.

Everyone in the family takes out their anger on him, being the only male in a family of male hating women, with the very rare exception of his mother. His grandmother's called him a waste of space and said he should "Go kill yourself like a good little teen." His sister does whatever she can to hurt him-- including call the police on him for whatever reason she can think of, once just for oversleeping. His mom.... tries to raise him, but she's got her own issues and even on a good day feels that despite the fact he's 21 he doesn't have a right to his own ID/medical card/etc, or the right to handle his own SSI income.

He's never learnt how to drive, isn't allowed a bike anymore since the last one ended up falling apart, and no place in walking range will hire him. (There's also no public transportation in town.) He hardly sees any of his SSI, 50/mo if he’s lucky, but he's trying to save up what little he does occasionally get. I want to get him here, someplace safe, and get him to a doc. And more importantly, get him to a counselor so he can start healing... and then start helping him learn how to drive, help him get a job, and work with his counselor to help teach him how to be self-sufficient.

I'm scraping and saving every penny I can: we want to get a place together, but it’s going to take work. Moving him here to WA and getting a place, even taking Amtrak instead of flying, would still need about $1500-2000 to move smoothly. We're hoping to get 3-4K total, just in case something unforseen comes up. Our goal is to have enough by summer of 2010, but we hope we can raise enough to get him out a lot sooner then that, hopefully by the end of this year... I think the longer he stays there the worse things are going to get. I'm working hard, and he's doing what little he can, but we're still going to need every penny and every prayer we can get.
