Emergency Funds for Transgender Woman of Color
Donation protected
To any and all members/allies of the Trans POC community, we need rapid financial assistance to support an ambitious black transgender woman who has been repeatedly, unexpectedly, and unfairly relieved of employment and hasn't a safe place to live.
UPDATE: What was originally a **second** leave of absence has turned into a termination of employment based on false allegations, with no offered explanation and no way to support her immediate bills.
UPDATE: In addition to all that she's gone through, her current living situation has become hostile, unsafe, and traumatic. With no money, no job, and no home, she'll be homeless by the end of June.
Despite performing at the top of her cohort, she has continually found herself on the receiving end of bigoted harassment and unnecessary workplace trauma. They have required her to take unpaid ‘leave of absences’ to process harassment and logistics claims she had been forced to make. Furthermore, after each individual harassment, she has had to re-live the experience by writing at length her claim while those harassing her had no such requirements. What was originally a **second** leave of absence has turned into a termination of employment based on false allegations, with no offered explanation and no way to support her immediate bills. As Boston is one of the most expensive cities in the nation, we humbly ask your support in getting her through this interim period while she finds another job. In addition to all that she's gone through, her current living situation has become hostile, terrifying, and traumatic. With no money, no job, and no safe home, she'll be homeless by the end of June without your support. As she has dealt with discrimination in previous living situations, retaining a stable living environment is at the forefront of her needs.
You can help support her career and health with the following goals:
1) We need approximately $3,000 to cover first, last, and security deposit at a new home in expensive Boston.
2) Share this fundraiser to raise awareness for her situation and increase the probability of reaching our goal.
This money would need to be raised by approximately June 18th. Any and all donations/sharing/page activity will go a long way towards supporting her. Despite being in a partially liberal city, it only takes a few people to completely disrupt an otherwise successful career. We rely on good people like you to mitigate the injustice so commonly infringed upon the Trans POC community.
Thank you, in advance.
