Love and Support for Community Activist

Hi Community,

Asking for your help on behalf of Darius, a local activist who often fundraises for others:

"I've been going through a rough time for a while, and finally accepted that there's no way I could catch up on my own. This amount will help me pay off the rest of my student loans, fix damaged framework around my home, and replace broken furniture. Any contribution is greatly appreciated - I'm desperately hoping to get back on track before the debt and destruction becomes too overwhelming."

To get a small sense of who Darius is, here are some notes from vir community:

“Darius works constantly to fund the needs of Black MaGes far and wide. Helping vir maintain housing and safety also maintains that constancy of help towards others. Let's elevate the "mutual" in mutual aid! ^^”

“Darius is an all-around lovely person who should receive the same type of support and love that vi has given to countless community members across the years. The amount of people who have had their needs met because of Darius, along with the type of community that vi has created because of vir thoughtfulness, is truly awe-inspiring. I am fortunate to know Darius as I have become a better person and learned an incredible amount in the ways of mutual aid organizing from vir. Simply, Darius deserves nothing less than holistic stability, including financial stability, so that vi and vir family can live the lives they deserve. Please contribute in whatever ways you can to help Darius meet vir goal and share this fundraiser however you can!”

“I have been connected with Darius for quite some time and found vir to be a thoughtful, kind, and supportive person. Darius has often uplifted mutual aid opportunities for others' safety, needs, and wellbeing. Being vulnerable to seek help and support is simultaneously brave and scary. Navigating the world, and particularly the US right now, can inherently be a challenging thing. This is true even moreso for people who have intersecting marginalized identies as Darius does. Contributing to this fund is an opportunity to support someone who is beyond deserving of being extended the same generosity vi has shared with so many people.”
