……Okay, that still won’t last long, but it’s more than the 15 dollars I had when I started this thread, so….. I’m getting there.
I've been keeping my nose out of this but I'm an adult and I feel as though I wouldn't be doing the right thing if I didn't say something.
1. $54 is not enough. You will spend that in a day. 2. Don't run away. I understand and sympathize with your situation, but running away will only place you somewhere worst. 3. If you don't have your social or state ID then you don't have much. If you want to get a job, you will need those two things. 4. Unless you have couches to crash on, you will very much be without a roof over your head. You don't have a car I'm assuming either, so you couldn't even sleep in there.
You currently have: $54, no identification, and no shelter. Unfortunately, you just have less rights as a teen than as an adult. At least wait until your 18 years old and plan your escape for around then. Get your identification, get a bank account, get a side job, finish school, save up, and make connections.
As for your foster home situation, you should have certain rights? I don't know 100%, and it varies on state, but look into that first before running away.
1: I mean, I know 54 dollars isn’t enough, so I’m trying to save up more money before I go through with this. I can just go days without eating too.
2: I wish it were that simple, believe me, but what choice do I have? It’s either I run away or go back with her, and I do not wish to go back with her. You can DM me if you wish to know.
3: I mean, our mom has them, so I’ll have to try and ask my facility if they can help me make myself a copy of them, since I know I won’t be able to get my hands on the original.
4: Yeah, I don’t have a car or a place to crash at all, really. It’s fine though, as long as I get to leave this place, and better yet, rob our mom of any chances to get me back in her custody.
5: Just for clarification since you didn’t know, yes I am in the U.S.
(Btw, if anything in here came off as rude, I didn’t mean for it to. Sorry in advance.)

I don't take it personally. Did you at least look into the foster child bill of rights?

Have you considered getting emancipated to get away from your mother?

Ah fuck it, I’ll just tell you guys. The bad news is that our mom found out about me telling our grandma that I didn’t want to go back. (She still doesn’t genuinely know I don’t want to go back, she just thought our grandma was spewing bullshit.)
For context, our mom is now allowed on campus to take us out every Saturday, which I wasn’t agreeing with, and not only that, they pretty much pressured me into going. She found out about this when she looked through my sisters phone and saw a text conversation between our grandma and case worker.)
Why is this bad? Because I worry she’ll try to do something to prevent our grandma from coming to see us, and since she’s coming over next weekend, which is also set on our mom’s next visit with us, means they’ll likely meet in person, and I can only imagine the arguing and fighting.

Another update: It turns out we’re supposed to head back with her in October, so hopefully I can get a bank account and stuff before then.
Since that’s bad news, I have looked into my runaway plan. I’ll try signing out of the place I’m at (which should give me an 8 hour head start), walk to a gas station, call an Uber, hand them all my money and hope they’ll be willing to drive me as far north as their 8-hour time limit will allow, which should be enough to get me to South Carolina.
