Loa is a queercrip based in New York City. Before they got this sick, Loa was a writer, activist, and oral historian, but these days they spend most of their time tending to their illnesses. They have severe ME/CFS that leaves them unable to work. We are fundraising to support Loa's basic needs such as medical care, food, and home health aide hours. You can help by setting up a monthly donation or making a one-time donation.

Loa is a proud Gemini, lover of queer horror, and a dedicated enthusiast of letter writing. Their favorite TV show is Black Sails and their favorite book is Confessions of the Fox.

Loa’s illnesses are severe, and as a result they spend most of their time in bed. Though they’ve found some successful treatments, they are unlikely to fully recover. While their health problems are difficult, the greatest hardship in Loa’s life comes from trying to piece together support from a fractured social safety net. Loa lives entirely on community and social support

We are Friends of Loa, a care collective that fundraises to provide for Loa's basic needs, including food, shelter, medication, and other medical supplies.
