I am raising funds for my friend Kimberly's return home after being held captive for almost 16 years in the Michigan prison system. Kimberly is a kind, generous, and creative trans woman who has faced political repression, transphobia and queerphobia from guards and other prisoners alike, and survived Covid-19 while locked up. She was finally found eligible for parole and is coming home August 29. Transitioning from life behind bars to life in the free world is rife with challenges and can be extraordinarily difficult, so let's pool our resources and give Kimberly a soft and smooth landing home. Let's show Kimberly what community looks like out here!

I will disperse funds to Kimberly directly upon her release. Funds raised will go towards gender-affirming clothing, and associated costs with buying and maintaining a cellphone and a car.
