Hello! I'm very lucky to begin a new chapter of life while remaining in cherished Albany Park. Thrilled to share that I have secured housing! While I am starting full-time work this week, moving costs and July 1 rent + utilities are ahead of me.

Your support will help me navigate the move out and move in processes as well as safely transition into the new lease. As some of you know, I'm a person without traditional support networks so I am leaning on community in this moment with a humble heart.

A bit about me:

I'm a trans southern transplant who's involved in community gardening, urban ag, food justice advocacy and mutual aid on the Northwest side of Chicago. Been living here for over three years and wanna continue planting roots -- sharing food and plants, dancing under the disco ball, assisting local farms and food networks, caring for each other.

Thank you for taking the time to hear about where I'm at and holding space for my struggles and successes. Love and gratitude <3

p.s. if this fundraiser reaches beyond it's goal, remaining funds will go towards paying for medication + healthcare as I prepare to lose Medicaid (also saving up to buy a bicycle!)
