<div>While I was drinking coffee,<strong> a fifty-foot oak limb tore through the roof of our home, splintered beams, shattered rafters, and changed everything. </strong>The damage is extensive — and the emotional toll is real. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My partner, Alex, is a leading civil rights attorney, and I'm a Trans Puerto Rican filmmaker whose work centers social justice. We are first-time homeowners who poured our life savings into this 32-acre ranch to create something rare: <strong>a trans and BIPOC-owned refuge for our community's artists, organizers, and healers to gather. </strong>At a time when we are under relentless political and economic attack, this land has been a space of restoration, laughter, and dreaming. We’ve stretched every dollar to make it possible — but this storm threatens to undo years of work overnight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are in insurance purgatory with the rainy season fast approaching. Even if they pay out, we face a $10,000 deductible before we can begin repairs. On top of that, they’ve refused to pay to remove a second massive limb hanging precariously over the door. It will cost $4,000 to remove this "widow maker" to prevent further damage or worse. We’ve been eking by, holding this space together with love and sheer determination, but <strong>these unexpected costs could bankrupt us and close the ranch.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Please give today and share to help raise $14,000 </strong>to start roof repairs and remove the dangerous limbs. Every contribution helps protect a living sanctuary for liberation and belonging.
