For Sterling Fleming

Donation protected
Hello, My name is Zurich Deleon. Recently, I've had the opportunity to get to know Sterling Flemming, a phenomenal person. Sterling is a 52 year old, Black and Androgynous person who was previously incarcerated for 6 years and 7 months, they go by any pronouns most common they/she/her. She was in an abusive relationship with a police officer that took advantage of her. This consequently led to Sterling's incarceration. Sterling is a survivor in many respects who refuses to be silent in defiance of police brutality and injustice. She has most recently worked with No New Jails NYC and The Sylvia Rivera Law Project.   

If she could do nothing else, she would want to sing opera. She actually graduated from LaGuardia high school (Class of '86) and has worked with various gospel groups. She also loves dogs!

Sterling is an amazing person outside of her various accomplishments. She is trying to rebuild her life with the most positive and forgiving spirit. Sterling is an only child with no biological family so any support you can offer is incredibly welcome. Sterling's goal is to secure an apartment that they can finally call home. They are currently residing with friends.

You can make a donation here, or you can also make a donation to Tess Dworman on Venmo @Tess-Dworman. She has equipped Sterling with a debit card linked to the account. Sterling, and only Sterling, has direct access to those funds.

Tess has been lovely enough to create an account that goes directly to Sterling. Currently, Sterling has no bank account.

As soon as we reach our goal, or perhaps in increments, I will write a check to Sterling Flemmings and will update this fundraiser with those transitions. 100% of any donations made will go DIRECTLY to Sterling Flemming. I hope to get her on social media soon!
