I'm D.J.(they/them), a proud Black nonbinary trans person working and living in the Boston area.

I am leaving an abusive domestic violence situation/breakup. I have been displaced as of last week(April 1). I do not have the full funds, at this time, to make a permanent move.

This is a mutual aid request to help me find a stable, consistent place or a permanent space. The violence I experienced has resulted in my belongings currently needing to be moved into storage and my laptop being destroyed. I wish not to go into details publicly about the experience that I had from my previous relationship, but it's been one of the most difficult experiences in my entire life.

I would be grateful for any aid, support, or help in any form that you may be able to give.

You can contact me via IG @mxdjbaker.

If you like to donate on a platform other than this, my cashapp and venmo are: @mxdjbaker

I am also able to offer services as a reciprocal mutual aid to others:

I am a birth and gender doula, gardener, forager, fermenter, cheesemonger, and Certified Master Naturalist. I love our community, good food, and being proudly queer.

Housing search:

I am looking for a living arrangement that is drug-free, preferably, for I am allergic to weed/cannabis. My job is in the South End of Boston, I am open to spaces that aren't in that area. My budget is from $800-1.3k/month.

For transparency, the total associated costs with this move and transition look like:

First month, last month, and security: $2.4k-3.9

Storage for approx 2 months: $300

Uhaul truck rental: $150

Replacement laptop: $1k

Missed time from work: $1k

Total: $4.8k-6.3k

More transparency:

Total support via Venmo/Cashapp(as of 4/9): $2000
