Help Me Reclaim My Space & Purpose — A Call for Mutual Aid

Help Me Reclaim My Space & Purpose — A Call for Mutual Aid

My name is McQueen. I am a non-binary, Indigenous/Aboriginal, queer-presenting artist, healer, and spiritual leader. My life’s mission has always been clear: to be a vessel of love, healing, and transformation. But I am at a crossroads — and I’m humbly asking for your support to help me stay grounded in this world and continue my purpose.

Since 2013, I have lived in an illegally converted basement apartment in New York City — no proper windows, no fire exits, black mold, no heat — a space not meant for safe or healthy living. Now, I face possible eviction while navigating burnout, financial hardship, and the ongoing spiritual warfare of simply existing as a person like me in this world.

I’ve spent my entire life learning how to heal — not just myself, but others — through ancestral practices, movement therapy, somatic healing, and my work with Respect My Space Alliance (RMSA). As a third-gender person, I carry the historical role of peacemaker and healer. Yet, in modern society, this sacred position is often erased or misunderstood.

I’ve been without the safety net of family support for years. I’ve sacrificed much to care for others, but now I find myself in urgent need of care. The world is heavy with pain, disconnection, and manipulation — yet I remain a beacon of optimism, vision, and creation. My work is not finished. My mission is not complete.

Your contributions will allow me to:

• Secure safe, stable housing and exit the dangerous apartment I currently inhabit.

• Build a support team to help grow Respect My Space Alliance as a space of healing and community.

• Travel to spiritual and creative spaces that continue to fuel my work and my ability to serve others.

• Continue to create art, fashion, movement work, and healing spaces that uplift marginalized voices.

• Protect my mental health and reclaim my physical space as a sovereign being.

I am not just seeking charity — I am inviting you to invest in my continued work as a healer, artist, and vessel for collective healing.

Your support is not just saving me — it is helping me continue to serve others who are often unseen.

With love, gratitude, and radical hope,

McQueen
