Help Sie and Christin Get Back on Their Feet

Donation protected
After lockdown started, Sie lost his job and his health insurance. Without coverage, he was forced to ration his insulin, and because of that went missing three times from diabetic dementia. The last time he went missing, obviously in a confused mental state, he opened a woman’s passenger car door. Police on the street assumed that he was stealing the car and arrested him for carjacking. As a gay, high-risk, immune-compromised, black man he is being held in a room with 40+ other men during a pandemic and none of them are wearing masks. Sie is not a criminal, he is a sick man who needs treatment and help. Like so many of us, he is a victim of the pandemic. Please help me get him out of jail so that we can start to put our lives together. We’re behind thousands in rent and he is completely traumatized and miserable. Jail is no place for him.
He is my partner and the funds from this campaign are going to getting him out of jail, covering any legal fees, and helping both of us get back on our feet by helping us pay our past-due rent as well as assisting us with our living expenses. COVID has taken so much from all of us and we are no exception, your help on this campaign will go to insuring that we are able to survive the pandemic and secure stable housing and medical care. Thank you all again for listening to out story and supporting us during this time, you have no idea how much it means to us both.
