<div><strong>Please celebrate Emi's memory by keeping her organization Aileen’s open.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Emi, co-founder and co-director at Aileen’s, beloved friend and sex trade, trans, intersex, queer, disability, gender-based violence, and feminist advocate extraordinaire, passed away on Wednesday, June 10th 2026. </strong>In her final days, Emi was surrounded by her incredible and loving community and chosen family. <strong>Help us continue her life's work and keep her organization open and serving our community.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Emi was the driving force that holds together Aileen’s–a peer-led community organizing and hospitality space by and for women living and working along Pac Highway. </strong>And, if you knew Emi, you would not be surprised to hear that her work at Aileen’s is a massive undertaking, because her dedication to serving the community meant she did more than humanly possible in a 24 hour day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is crucial that Aileen’s continues to serve women who are experiencing homelessness, criminalization, and violence. <strong>Since 2019, Aileen’s has provided hospitality space, non-judgemental and accepting community, peer support, resources, harm reduction advocacy, and outreach services.</strong> Led by 6 part-time peer staff, Aileen’s aids community dealing with issues of poverty, criminal legal, CPS, substance use, domestic violence, police harassment and brutality, sexual assault and harassment, racism, transphobia, and more. <strong>Countless people rely on Aileen’s for necessities like food, supplies, showers, clothing, and a safe place to rest.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Emi has been essential in Aileen’s ability to serve the community, and Aileen's was Emi's most cherished project. Without her or other support, the organization is at risk of shutting down. </strong>Weeks ago, when asked what all Emi does for Aileen’s, co-director Leslie said “Oh, she does everything.” It is hard to describe “everything”, but Emi handled: all grant writing and reporting, administration responsibilities, fiscal sponsor management, coalition building, court and political advocacy, resource accrual for survivor support, safety planning, and training/education for staff and community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aileen's, and all of Emi's past work, is about liberation and survival under a system that has left so many without. <strong>With your donation, Aileen’s can increase pay and hire more peer staff, transfer daily operations, buy essential supplies like food, clothes, harm reduction items, and take care of basic costs not covered by grants. </strong>
</div>

<div><strong>Please donate and widely share the gofundme. </strong>To learn more about Aileen’s, visit the website at aileens.org

<div>*While $$$ donations are essential, Aileen’s is in serious need of donated clothing and some other supplies. Please contact <em>donate@ (aileens.org) </em>to coordinate making clothing donations and see our wishlist at our website.
