Support Black Queer Artist’s Rent & Utilities in Chicago

Donation protected
Hello! Our names are Noel, Gericault, & André and we are organizing this fundraiser on behalf of a good friend in Chicago who is in need of mutual aid support to cover their utilities from now to the end of January of 2025. They were recently laid off in July 2024 and have struggled to find sustainable employment & unemployment resources since then.

Due to the nature of their layoff, which unfortunately included an airtight non-disclosure agreement (NDA), our friend needs to remain anonymous in this mutual aid ask. They need up to $3,000 total in monetary support to cover three months of rent & utilities expenses.

Any donation helps and no amount is too small. Please do not give past your financial ability; we are aware that as the end of the year has arrived that many people need support, especially as the months get darker earlier and colder.

Here is a breakdown of our friend’s expenses that they need support with:

  • $1800 three months rent
  • $750 three months phone bill
  • $450 three months utilities

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this GoFundMe. Our friend has written the following as a thank you in advance to all who are able to support them either through donating or sharing their GFM:

Hi All - thank you for taking the time to read everything that’s been laid out by Noel and Gericault on my behalf.

This recent season has been extremely challenging for me and I’m grateful above all for community. While I am experiencing a challenging time of difficulty - am forever thankful for my community, my rootedness in Chicago, and the work I intend to keep doing here.

Please know that everything you share and or donate will be used to solidify my presence here in Chicago and help me reorient and re stabilize myself and we move forward into the 2025 year.

Thank you!
