How should I get away from my abusive toxic family?

I (20F) live at home with my grandparents and autistic sister. My grandma has cancer and is very sick most of the time. All of the pressure of taking care of my sister is put on me. I have a part-time job, and I'm a full-time student at a community college; all of my free time is spent taking care of my sister. My grandma has been yelling at me constantly. My sister has meltdowns every day where she screams, cries, stomps her feet, hits me, and drops to the floor. I feel so overwhelmed, and I just want to get out.

I have fears about leaving my family and being alone, even though I'm severely depressed at home. I dream about leaving for a different state and starting my own life. I only have about $2000 in my bank account, and I have a car. Should I leave?
