When 17-year-old Christian was kicked out of his house, he reached out to his favorite artist on Twitter and the response was beyond his expectations.
Christian, a 17-year-old living in San Antonio, Texas, found himself in a tough situation this week. His mom had kicked him out of the house after she’d learned he was gay by finding messages and photos on his unlocked phone.
“She got really upset,” Christian told BuzzFeed News. He said it was the first time he had been kicked out of the house.
He quickly began reaching out to friends for help and documented the events on Twitter.
Christian sent a tweet to his favorite musician, a Chicago artist named Cupcakke, to let her know that it was her music pulling him through this tough spot.
“I was shaking and crying, it was so cold,” Christian told BuzzFeed News.
“I had my wifi, so I put on Cupcakke's music because she always cheers me up.”
Cupcakke didn’t hesitate to get back to Christian, asking if he had a place to stay for the night and even offering to pay for a hotel room.
“I was honestly shocked when she responded asking me if I needed a hotel. I really did need a shelter badly,” said Christian.
Unfortunately, because of his age, he knew he probably wouldn't be able to check into a room on his own.
Cupcakke then sent some follow-up messages to make sure that the teen ended up somewhere safe for the night.
