Hi! I am a Boston based activist and community organizer. I have been doing this work unpaid for over 10 years, while balancing school and paid work. I am white, disabled, poor, and queer. I do my best to stay on top of my life so I can put as much as myself into my organizing as possible.

Unfortunately, this past year has not been an easy one. I lost my housing, a loved one fell deathly ill and has a long recovery, and I was sexually assaulted during my paid work. All of this combined with political trauma I have experienced caused a severe relapse into an eating disorder and an increase in PTSD symptoms. The trauma also left me with a partially herniated disc in my back. This has made me unable to work continuously for the past 6 months. I have been able to get gigs and I also get some state benefits, which is able to cover the bare minimum of my expenses.

I desperately want to get back to work and back to my life. To be able to do that, I need a safe home,and specific medical & therapeutic interventions to heal. I am lucky to have found all three.

However, I need help to cover the copays of a therapist, eating disorder dietitian, and a physical therapist as well as moving costs.

Here is the cost breakdown

Therapist: $30 per week * 4 weeks * 3 months = $360
Dietitian:  $30 per week * 4 weeks * 3 months = $360
PT         : $30 per week * 4 weeks * 3 months = $360
Moving:    $100 for supplies + $200 to pay friends  to help move things = 300

Total: $1380

Anything extra that is raised will be donated to Whose Corner Is It Anyways.


Thank you all for your love and support!
