In May of 2020, my good friend U-Neek will be reentering society after being incarcerated for eight years. She is a kind, generous, and proud trans woman who is excited to parole in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois and begin living life on her terms.
Reentering from prison is always hard, but it is especially challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic. She is in need of financial support to help sustain herself as she searches for work and gets back on her feet. Your support will help her access food and clothes, use phones and the internet so that she can find resources and expand her community, and reach her goals.
U-Neek and I are both endlessly appreciative of your support! We will continue sharing updates here, so please check back and share with your community!
UPDATE 05/12/2020:
I am overwhelmed by the generous support! Thank you all for contributing. U-Neek is not able to call me every day (because prisons... grr) so I haven't heard from her since starting this fundraiser, but I just know that she is going to be overjoyed! I can't wait to tell her! We will keep posting updates here.
