Help a Disabled Trans Inventor Keep Her Home

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Maddy, and I’m a disabled trans woman, a community elder, and a lifelong advocate for trans liberation. I’ve spent decades offering shelter, mentorship, and care to trans girls and people in crisis, often opening my home as a safe haven when no one else would. Now, I need your help. Due to chronic illness, I’m unable to work full-time and don’t qualify for disability benefits, which wouldn’t meet my needs anyway. My mortgage is at risk, and without urgent support, I may lose the home that has been a sanctuary for so many in our community. But this isn’t just about saving a house. It’s about preserving a vital resource for trans resilience. I’m working to develop AI tools designed specifically to support trans people navigating capitalism, safe harbors and protections in the turbulent seas of social media. These tools aim to empower our community with accessible, affirming resources that I never had growing up. Your donation will:
 • Keep me housed, ensuring I can continue to offer shelter to trans individuals in need (including myself).
 • Fund the development of AI tools to assist trans people in accessing social media safely.
 • Sustain a space of care, where a big table remains open for those seeking community and support. I’ve always believed in the power of chosen family and mutual aid. With your help, we can ensure that this home remains a beacon of hope and that the tools I’m building can uplift countless others. Thank you for standing with me.

With gratitude and love,
