Hey there, I have set up this page on behalf of my friend Blanca Del Loco who needs our help. Now more than ever our trans sisters & brothers are facing endless struggles on top off what is already a challenging time economically.

Blanca is facing eviction and having to seek accommodation at a shelter and needs funds to help organise her belongings to be put into storage, pay debts & find safe LGBTQ+ accommodation.

Its breaks my heart to see someone who leads with such a strong heart to be faced with endless transphobia, attacks on the subway, financial stress and now facing homelessness.

As a community of humans regardless whether your apart of LGBTQ+ community or not, we have to support each other and help when we can!

So…. If you think you can spare $1, $20, $50, $100, $1000 - anything I know Blanco will be forever grateful!

If you think you can help in alternative ways you contact me via Instagram

Words from Blanca;

For those of you who don't know me well: Hey! I'm Blanca Del Loco (She/They) and I am a Trans Femme based in Brooklyn original from Louisiana that made the big move to NYC over two years ago. I have been constantly working professionally within my industry and working three jobs to keep afloat since moving here but some events transpired last year that sent me back greatly in a way that I haven't been able to catch up from. I have been working non-stop, even working doubles, and triples to try to catch up but also survive and I have not been able to sometimes going days without food sacrificing every penny that I can to try to catch up on my other growing debt. I have been asked to leave by my landlord who is no longer willing to work with me and I must find housing within 10 days or

homelessness as I do not have family within NYC nor do I really have family support.

If I could catch up on my debt and secure new housing I could go back to living and surviving to the best of my ability.

My current ask is $3k (what I owe in back rent + this months rent). Even after my back rent is paid I also have to vacate as the landlord does not want me living with an apartment anymore and will have to find housing so if any of my friends are willing to let me couch hop for a second so that I do not end up homeless or at a shelter I would greatly appreciate it as I also am constantly working my survival jobs and I'm booked already to work at them and do not want to risk losing employment.

Thank you so much for listening to me and I know it's a stressful time for everyone but I truly appreciate any Community support as I love my community and always try to show up to the best of my ability for my community so if my community can do that for me in this trying time I would be forever grateful

THANK YOU DEEPLY FOR CONSIDERING MY REQUEST DURING THIS CRITICAL TIME.
