<div>We are calling on community to help an unhoused Atlanta forest defender rebuild her life! Our comrade TeeTee is in a vulnerable situation after being unjustly arrested and losing her housing last month. She needs our help to get back on her feet and find a safe place to live.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>TeeTee is a committed activist and freedom dreamer whose dedication to justice is unwavering. She is a resilient fighter, a caring friend, and a cherished member of our community. She has shown up consistently for our movement, putting her body on the line to defend Weelaunee Forest time and time again. Now, it's time for us to show up for her and support her through this extremely difficult transition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising $10,000 to cover TeeTee's moving expenses and basic needs, such as food and transportation, for the next few months. Please pitch in to help a dear friend and comrade recover from abuse and incarceration. We keep us safe!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>About me:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Noah Grigni and I am a friend of TeeTee (Tyequiesha Clark). I've known TeeTee for two years through our efforts distributing food in South Atlanta, and through our participation in the movement to stop cop city. TeeTee is my neighbor, friend, and trusted comrade. All funds raised on this page will go directly to TeeTee's bank account. She will use the money raised here to get her immediate needs met while she finds housing. She is so appreciative of the support she has received so far, and she wants to thank everyone who has pitched in!
</div>

Support TeeTee's Journey to Safety

<div>Hello everyone,
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>We are reaching out to you today to support a strong and hard-working member of our community, Eve, a transgender Puerto Rican woman who has faced significant challenges due to discrimination and harassment in her workplace. Sadly, this unjust treatment resulted in her losing her job, leaving her in a precarious financial situation.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>In the face of these challenges, Eve has been contending with a flare-up of complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD), intensifying the difficulties of her job search and hindering her ability to secure a sustainable income. The emotional strain from the discrimination she experienced has worsened her condition, making it increasingly challenging for her to support herself. Despite these obstacles, Eve remains determined and resilient. She is currently working part-time and doing gig work to make ends meet. However, the loss of her full-time job and the impact of the discrimination have left her struggling to cover her rent.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>We are aiming to raise $6,000 to assist Eve with rent relief. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in helping her regain stability and continue her journey towards a brighter future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You can donate on this fundraiser page, or send funds to Eve directly at @cs_97 on Venmo or $las0sa on Cashapp (letter L, number zero).
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>We believe in the power of community and the importance of standing together in times of need. Your support will not only provide immediate relief but also send a powerful message of solidarity to Eve. It will also give her ample time to find a new full-time job, so she can avoid getting trapped in a cycle of abusive and discriminatory workplaces out of desperation.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Eve is a hard-working member of our community who deserves a chance at a fresh start. She spends her free time volunteering in her local community to help other people, including participating in neighborhood clean up days, helping to prepare and distribute food and beverages to low-income people in her neighborhood, and lending a helping hand to anyone who needs it. By coming together as a community, we can offer her the support and resources she needs to rebuild her life and regain her independence.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>We kindly ask you to donate and share this campaign with your friends, family, and social networks. Together, we can make a difference in Eve's life. The experience of sexual harassment and discrimination in the work place, and the retaliation she received after reporting it to her boss, was incredibly painful, humiliating, and isolating for her. Helping her to raise money for this will show her that she is not alone, and that our community stands with survivors of sexual harassment.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your kindness, compassion, and generosity. Your support means the world to Eve and will help her take the first steps towards a brighter future. Thank you!
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div> 
</div>

Eve's Fresh Start: Rent Relief for a Trans Woman

<div><a href="https://nypost.com/2024/03/09/us-news/woman-hit-by-subway-feet-severed-after-boyfriend-push-cops/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Video of the news report</a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In a devastating turn of events, a woman's desperate attempt to escape her abuser, Christian Valdez, resulted in severe trauma and life-altering injuries. Pushed onto subway tracks in Manhattan, she faced the brutal reality of domestic violence and the harrowing consequences of seeking refuge.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Amidst her physical injuries, her struggle for safety and security continues. She urgently requires permanent accessible housing and future medical expenses. These essential needs are vital steps in her journey towards healing and reclaiming her selfhood.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her story serves as a poignant reminder of the systemic failures that perpetuate cycles of abuse and leave survivors vulnerable to further harm. It underscores the urgent need for comprehensive support systems and resources to protect and empower survivors on their path to recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As we stand in solidarity with her and survivors everywhere, let us demand justice, advocate for change, and work tirelessly to create a society where love is not synonymous with fear, and every individual has the resources and support to live free from violence and harm.

Justice for black DV survivor in MTA incident

<div>Hi, my name is Ian Garvey from the US and I’m raising funds to support my friend Raja Tayseer Saeed Abu Al-Laban, her husband Khalil Omar Saber, and their three children Ibrahim (12), Raghad (10), and Yamen (4) in Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For years, we have watched in horror as they endured unimaginable conditions. Now, with the ceasefire in place, a fragile window of opportunity may open. <strong>According to Israeli Army Radio, Gaza residents will be allowed to travel to Egypt via the Rafah crossing.</strong> My friend and her children are eagerly awaiting online registration to leave.
</div>
<div>They have a plan, but they need our help to make it a reality.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

<div><em>Yamen, Raghad, and Ibrahim standing with the Rafah border in the background, with a child running up the hill behind them </em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Their Current Reality:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her recent messages paint a devastating picture of their daily life:
</div>
<div>Health Crisis: She writes, "<em>I always suffer from asthma, colds and flu. I am always tired... I am now tired and feel very depressed... I have an unbearable headache, weakness and pain in the muscles of my entire body."</em> She and her children are suffering from malnutrition, dehydration, sleep deprivation, and the effects of living with a constant "high alert" nervous system.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Financial Strangulation: </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>"Our purchases are made through a banking application, and there are goods that we cannot buy... that require cash."</em> To get physical cash, they are forced to pay a devastating 50% interest fee to cash merchants.
</div>
<div>No Life Left in Gaza: <em>"Gaza has become unfit for living. There are no necessities of life." </em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Their Path to Safety and Recovery:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Their goal is simple: to <strong>leave Gaza as soon as the borders open</strong> and spend <strong>one to two months in Egypt</strong>. This period is not a vacation; it is essential for their physical and mental recovery. It will allow them to:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Rest from two years of constant trauma and thinking
</li>
<li>Access nutritious food to combat malnutrition
</li>
<li>Receive medical attention for their ailments in a stable environment
</li>
<li>Secure a safe base to finalize plans to travel to their final settlement country
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Where the Funds Will Go:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She has a brother in Egypt who can help them navigate this process. I’ll update this to have exact dollar amounts when I have more information, but the funds raised will be used for:
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong><em>Rent in Egypt:</em></strong> Securing a safe apartment for 2 months where they can start to truly rest and recover.
</li>
<li><strong><em>Emergency Travel Costs:</em></strong> These are the expenses related to traveling after resting in Egypt and getting all their paperwork together. Plane tickets, permits, things like that. 
</li>
<li><strong><em>Essential Living Costs:</em></strong> Food, utilities, and basic necessities during their stay.
</li>
<li><strong><em>Healthcare:</em></strong> Addressing their immediate medical needs, including her chronic asthma and the children's malnutrition.
</li>
<li><strong><em>6 Months (Minimum) Additional Living Expenses:</em></strong> This family expects to need time, both in Egypt and their next country of residence, to address physical and mental health emergencies and get back on their feet. 
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What They Experienced In Gaza </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Unbearable loss:</strong> Raja's brother Mahmoud lost his two young sons Amr (8 months) and Anas (3 years), who were killed in a bombing. Mahmoud is still alive, but Raja tragically lost her other brother, Ahmed, and his 4-year-old daughter, Mira, in another bombing. These are not the only family members they’ve lost, but these ones in particular have left deep wounds in Raja’s heart.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><em>Mira, 4-years-old</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Home Destroyed:</strong> Raja and Khalil got married in 2012. They rented an apartment and saved their money for 10 years to buy an apartment in 2022. They did not even get to live in it as proud owners for a full year: after 10 months, it was bombed and the building was completely destroyed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Struggles for Basic Needs:</strong> Flour, once a very expensive item at the market, is now extremely rare to find. The family has mostly sustained themselves on bread they baked themselves and canned foods. People, including Raja and Khalil, have recently began depending on bakeries for bread. It gets so overcrowded that there’s been multiple incidents of people being trampled to death. This is a danger that Raja and Khalil face daily in order to keep themselves and their children from succumbing to starvation. Water scarcity is another situation with vast health issues like Hepatitis, which this family personally struggled with badly a few months ago. It’s getting colder every day now, and blankets and winter clothes are extremely hard to find and very expensive to buy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Destruction of Healthcare Infrastructure and Widespread Illness, Disease: </strong>Gaza is facing a catastrophic health crisis as bombings, bulldozers, and blockade have decimated its healthcare system. Hospitals are overwhelmed, lacking essential medicines, equipment, and electricity to treat patients. Clean water is scarce, leading to widespread waterborne diseases like Hepatitis, while malnutrition and food shortages have left children especially vulnerable to severe health complications. Families like Raja’s have battled life-threatening sickness again and again and again. Without immediate intervention and access to humanitarian aid, the health disaster will continue to claim countless lives.

<div><em>Hospital paperwork from Al-Asqa Hospital </em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Inhumane Living Conditions:</strong> Tent supplies have been very expensive, between $600-$800 and are vulnerable to rains and the cold. It’s common for tents to be flooded by heavy rains, ruining peoples possessions in the process. Luckily, they are renting what is basically a storage container that’s been converted to a single room. It’s still very cold, but it’s safer from the rain. Getting all of your clothes, bedding, and personal items wet from floods and rain is extremely difficult for people in Gaza to handle physically and emotionally.

Support Raja and Her Family in Gaza

<div>Hi, my name is Chiomma and I am a 27 year old black disabled nonbinary artist and community organizer in the South. I have been living and working in Metro Atlanta for the past five years and am transitioning into youth arts programming and childcare.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, I am at risk for eviction and must raise funds to cover this month's living expenses. I have never been late on rent payments before, so my property manager is giving me the grace to pay by no later than Monday, December 11, 2023. I must raise $1630 no later than Monday!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The remaining funds will be used to cover living expenses until the end of my lease in January and support my move to a new space. Please help me as I transition to a stronger foundation for the new year! Thank you for your care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If interested in my work, you can check it out at chiommani.com or via my instagram @chiommani.

This has been going on to long and my family and I are devastated and overwhelmed over this sudden and tragic incident. My daddy didn’t deserve this and we don’t deserve this. I am in need of and asking for help so that I can give my daddy the proper homegoing and burial that he deserves. Anything you can give will help. We really appreciate everyone and even if you can’t your prayers are still needed and appreciated. The sooner we can get funds the sooner we can move forward with service preparation. Again thank you all.

<div>Hey there! My name is Jess (they/them) and I am a nonbinary, transmasculine person who is currently getting my Master of Social Work degree and planning to become a therapist who specializes in providing care for the LGBTQ+ community.<strong> I am raising funds to cover the cost of my Gender-Affirming Top Surgery on May 3.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/70442679_1673572153707268_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why Your Support Matters</strong>
</div>
<div>I have been wanting this surgery for such a long time and this year is finally the time. I know that top surgery will allow me to feel so much more comfortable in my skin and embody my truest self.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I work as a barista, take online classes for my degree, and intern at a nonprofit that is helping prepare me to be a well-equipped social worker. There is just no world where I could afford this surgery without community support. I am a very diligent steward of the finances I have and I have been saving as much as I can toward this goal, but it is still not enough.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am hoping to become a therapist who specializes in providing care to the LGBTQ+ community. In this chapter of my life, I am asking for community support by donating whatever you can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/70442679_1673572197826749_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Where the Funds Will Go</strong>
</div>
<div>This is a surgical outpatient procedure that will take place at my local hospital and be carried out by Dr. Singh from Panacea Plastic Surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Surgeon fees - $6000
</div>
<div>Hospital fees (Facility, anesthesia, extra fees) - $3500
</div>
<div>Post-surgical tissue biopsy &amp; labs - $500
</div>
<div>One month of Income replacement - $2,000
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I will be unable to work for about 3-4 weeks and will be taking that time off to rest and recover. I have included the estimated amount for a month of income replacement to make sure I don’t have to worry about finances while I’m recovering.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Alternative Means of Donation</strong>
</div>
<div>You can avoid the 3% fee gofundme tacks on by sending donations directly to me. In the case of raising more than my expected amount, any extra funds will be donated to trans mutual aid funds.

Top Surgery for Jess!

<div>Hi, I'm fundraising on behalf of a good friend who prefers to stay anonymous. Please help a wonderful mother pay legal fees to win custody of her young trans daughter! This child is one of the sweetest, happiest, coolest kids I've ever met, and her single mom is her fiercest advocate. Unfortunately, this family is facing a nasty custody battle that could put them in an unsafe situation. Help this young trans girl stay in her happy, stable, safe, affirming home!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We started fundraising in January, and with the help of our amazing online community (you all!), we raised $5000 for her to hire a good lawyer and pay the retainer. We are so thankful for everyone who donated! It made all the difference in empowering this young mother to stand up to her abusive ex, and begin the process of fighting for custody of her child. However, those funds have now been used up, and this family still has a long road ahead of them. The child’s father plans to drag out this legal battle for as long as he can, to drain the mother of her financial resources and force her to give up. We have no choice but to ask for your support once again, to help this child stay in her safe and loving home with her mother.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please give what you can and share widely! Protecting trans kids means keeping them with parents who love and support them! Please continue to support this family and share this fundraiser with care and intention. Thank you so, so, so much.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If we somehow raise more funds than we need, we will redistribute any extra money to other fundraisers benefitting trans kids.
</div>

Help a young trans girl stay with her loving mom!

</div>
<div>Sep/10/22
</div>
<div>When I first started this GoFundMe, I never thought I’d actually be able to fight and have hope for myself again. Battling cancer is something life cannot prepare you for, and I was scared. I saw saw everything I worked so hard for—being a black trans woman— stripped away. The treatment messed with my hormones, my hair fell out, my skin changed. I could only see myself in a coffin, not living life. And because of my unique situation involving incarceration I didn’t have access to traditional medical help and SSI, so it was huge for me to reach out to a community online that doesn’t even know me in real life and receive so much love from them and from God. This help has kept me fighting until today. If you see my pictures, you’ll notice that I am looking better. This is not because I am any less sick with the cancer, but because I have chosen to live life and fight back! And you all have helped give me that strength.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Everything that was donated to my GoFundMe so far has been used for my medical treatment at Northside Hospital. Now I’m at Emory, and I’m undergoing strenuous chemo and prescribed numerous medications. Finally, I have a team of doctors who understand my situation and who believe they can shrink the tumor enough to be able to remove it with surgery!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The hospital says if I can raise $60,000, they will cover the rest of the surgery expenses. And so I’m turning once again to my community and asking you not to give up on me. I want to be able to say I won, that I’m a winner. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now I’m reaching out to a lot of different talk shows because I want to go on them and be a voice. I want to let people know what I went through, from being homeless, to being incarcerated, to being sick, to people accusing me of making it all up, to some days only having God and the power of God to keep me going. But if Mike Tyson can come back and fight when everybody says he’s too old and out of shape, then Tomorrow will continue to fight when the doctors told me I had 6 months to a year to live. Those six months are up and I’m still living and fighting.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With this cancer, some days are better than others, but whether they’re up or down, my name is still Tomorrow, and so every time I close my eyes I know I’m going to see the next day. My name is Tomorrow, and there is going to be a tomorrow for me. Not just for me, but for each and every one of us that claims that for our lives. That’s a promise. 
</div>
<div><br />

<div><strong>(The Cancer: the doctor said without the surgery I only have 6 months to year to live the cancer is growing rapidly in my breast. Just because I'm trans does it mean that I should have a short life or that my life doesn't matter. Don't cry for Me I'm blessed even at this stage. If I die today I'm going to heaven. If I don't have surgery I'm going to die.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My goal is to raise money not only for my health.But to start my own out reach to help trans people with cancer. People have stopped donating and it's made me sad but I'm also thankful that I was able to pay some of my surgeries that I've had biopsies etc and I have a long journey ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year, while I was homeless, doing survival sex work, and living in and out of hotels, I received the worst news of my life. In March of this year, I ended up going to the hospital because I had trouble breathing. My trans sister called me an uber even though I was scared to go. Turns out I had COVID-19. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While in the hospital, they gave me a CT scan and the doctor pulled me to the side and told me that a cancer specialist wanted to talk to me. They told me that something didn’t look right and they wanted to run some more tests. After being in bed for weeks with COVID, and then getting better, I woke up one morning and my breast was as big as a cantaloupe, and it was hard. I didn’t know what to do, but eventually the pain was so bad that I drove myself to the hospital.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>On July 1st, doctors told me that I had</strong> <strong>stage 3 inflammatory breast cancer.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This type of cancer grows aggressively and rapidly - 80% faster than most cancers. It also has spread to my lymph nodes and my kidneys. 
</div>
<div>I have only been approved for my medication, but don’t have insurance.<strong>I already owe the hospital over $30,000. </strong>I need to have surgery as soon as possible. The doctor has informed me that time is of the essence. The doctors said I need an emergency surgery to remove the cancer from my kidneys. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I want to be an advocate for the girls to get checked, to get mammograms. They don’t know what their bodies are going through. I know I didn’t. I didn’t feel anything and then one day I woke up and had cancer. I am now the living witness of what can happen to us. If I can influence girls to go get tested and take care of themselves, then I would die happy. If there’s anything left over, I want to pay it forward to other Trans folks who are living with cancer and bring awareness to the community--especially regarding silicone injections.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>My story:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Tomorrow Valentino. I just turned 50 years old. I got my name when I was in prison. They put a guy in the hole with me. He had a bunch of tattoos, and turns out he was a Blood. He asked me my name. I told him how growing up, they would call me China because of my eyes (I’m Jamaican). He told me that he always wanted to name his daughter Tomorrow, and decided to name me that instead. I was looking out the window and saw the sun shining. I looked up at the sky and realized that the name was mine. No matter what happens in my life, there was always a “tomorrow” for me. Even with what I’m going through right now, I know there will be a tomorrow.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I left my parents’ house at 17 years old. My parents are from Jamaica. They did not understand my “lifestyle,” not at first. When I looked in the mirror, even before the breasts, I knew who I was. My mom was like, “If you don’t cut your hair, you have to get out of my house, I know I only had boys.” So I packed my stuff and left. I didn’t finish school and ended up on the streets and homeless. I had to hustle to survive, scamming, stealing. I ended up being in and out of prison. I grew up on the streets. It set me back in my transition and goals. If my parents had accepted me when I was young, I could have been anything I wanted to be.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve never been that type of person who asks for help, because I’ve always done things by myself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Growing up a Black transgender female in the 90s, we bought our hormones from the girls who already had them. We had to pay like $100 a bottle for black market hormones. There was also an underground surgery market for silicone injections. That’s what I got – aka SEAL. I got it in my breasts, hips, butt, and cheeks. What they didn’t tell us, is the effects it could have on your body. In my case, it was injected in the wrong place, and years later it all moved to one side of my breast, which caused the silicone to create a mass and triggered the cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I remember when I met Verna, who did my injections. She had this huge house. When I went in, she was just studying me. When she finished my face, I was so pretty. I had high cheekbones, a pointy chin. People would look at me and say I’m striking. After that feeling of euphoria, it became addictive, it made me able to pass--or look more and more like a woman. I simply wanted to be able to fit into society, fall in love, get the house and white picket fence. I wanted to recreate myself. I wanted to forget who my mother had and be the woman I wanted to be. I created a whole new life for myself. Unfortunately, I was forced to choose between myself and my family. My family members would call me a “faggot.” Luckily, more recently and especially since the cancer, I've had my family start to support and rally behind me. They don't have much money, but they are praying for me and are they're trying. They finally say I love you... and I haven't heard that since I was a kid.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I really want people to know, our surgeries and injections are not cosmetic, they are needed for us to feel like who we are. You can’t beat it out of your kids. Is it an act of God? I don’t know, but I do know there is a greater purpose for us [trans] people. If we weren’t here there would be something missing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All I ever wanted was to be a woman. I struggled my whole life. When I look in the mirror, this is all I want to be and can be. Whether I live through this or whether I die, I just want to be remembered as Tomorrow. Although I couldn’t do everything I wanted to do, I Iived my best life as a woman.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>My Dream(s):</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before I leave this world...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1. I would love to own a convertible VW. LOL seriously I love them things.
</div>
<div>2. Another dream of mine has been to get face feminization surgery. I've never been comfortable with my face. I've gone to prison trying to get the money to for FFS, but never was able to see the fruits of it.
</div>
<div>3. There's also this cross that I saw that I promised myself for my birthday which is ($2,800) my goal was to buy it, take it to my pastor, have him pray over it, and then to get baptized--that was my goal for my birthday.
</div>
<div>4. Lastly, one of my lifelong wishes is to put together a documentary about my [trans] community--so the world can see and hear our stories, know our truths. I want to leave my legacy behind and pay it forward.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But none of these things matter because with God's help, I will continue fighting to see another day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As of March 18th 2022 my biggest dream is to start tomorrow's promise my own outreach which I'm trying to raise $200,000 to do so believe in me and help me start this help me change the lives of these other girls there's never had a chance in life . I'M afresh eye, With a fresh voice and a new fight being angel and an ambassador for God and bless me with this money to start tomorrow's promise and when you do #this is for tomorrow's promise change the life today of a person who just needs the help.
</div>
<div>After all, my name is Tomorrow.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1/22/22 today oncologist called and told me that they're putting me on chemo with radiation at the same time chemo was so hard on my body to think I'm going to be on chemo and radiation at one time back to back five days a week then I found out I have to leave THC the housing program so now I'm back to being homeless and have to find some place to go with my two dogs. I hope you all watch the 11 alive news that I did and that's now airing on YouTube,: Homeless Transgender Battle of cancer on YouTube. If you notice we decided to raise the fundraiser because if I live I want to open up my own program for trans women so no one can put them out so they can get the help that they really need now that I've gone through it I know that I can help and I know what it feels like please help me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It's now October and it's almost the end of the month and I'm almost close to going into surgery but I don't have the money to pay for it I've used all the funds that you all see has been donated to me for the other surgeries that I've had and for medical care and for my medication as well as personal care my friends are depleted and I'm at the ground zero I know it seems like I have $25,000 or $26,000 but I don't I'm at ground zero all that money is already been paid out to the hospital for the other surgeries that I've had which was the colonoscopy and the surgery to stop the bleeding that I was having eternally I really need someone's help please I'm begging you I go to see the doctor November the 2nd and the 3rd and the 4th and I'm asking for your help to take them some sort of money that they'll know that I could pay the rest of it and that they'll put me on their calendar to remove my breath and to do reconstruction if I qualify thank Tuesday NOV22/22, I'M NEEDING $400 AND THAT'S WITHOUT THE TAX FOR MY MEDS AND ANTIBIOTICS WITH CHEMO AND EVERYTHING OUR BODY HEALS DIFFERENTLY AND I NEED TO STAY AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHILE I'M HEALING BECAUSE OUR BODY AND OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS DOWN SO IT'S EASY TO CATCH ANYTHING IF THERE'S ANYBODY OUT THERE THAT CAN DONATE $400 TODAY WOULD YOU PLEASE DONATE IT TO MY CASH APP AND MY VENMO IT'S REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT THAT I GET IT WHILE I'M HEALING AND THEN I HAVE TO LOCK DOWN UNTIL I'M HEALED I CAN'T BE OUT AND ABOUT TO HAVE THANKSGIVING WITH OTHER PEOPLE HOWEVER THE PROCEDURE WAS DONE AND I'M THANKFUL FOR THAT.

Doctor told her to give up Don't fight no more

<div>Hi, I'm Noah Grigni, a trans artist and community worker in need of support. For the past three years, I have been working on a community empowerment project, essentially for free. I am burnt out, financially drained, emotionally exhausted, and finally ready to ask for help.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>About my project: since 2019, I have been working on my exhibition<em> </em><a href="https://www.noahgrigni.com/transdreams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Protect Trans Dreams</a>, currently on display at <a href="https://bostonchildrensmuseum.org/exhibits-programs/exhibits/gallery" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Boston Children's Museum</a>. Protect Trans Dreams is a community-based art project celebrating trans joy, created in collaboration with local trans kids and their families. The show is up until July 24th -- if you're in Boston, go see it! You can see the paintings, and read more about the project, <a href="https://noahgrigni.com/transdreams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>. This work, like all of my work, is rooted in my burning desire to provide trans kids in my community with the resources and representation that I lacked growing up. This project means so much to me, and I want to continue it, but I need your help.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Why I'm fundraising: the museum was able to offer me a small stipend for this show, but it does not begin to cover the costs of organizing the project over the past three years, meeting with the families, creating the paintings, and traveling to and from Boston. I have lost a lot of money doing this, and I do not hope to make it back or break even, I just want to get back on my feet. I lost my apartment and had to move out of Boston last year, as a result of working for free for so long. I am now living in Georgia with my parents -- and while I love them a lot, I would really like to be independent again. <br /><br />I have poured my heart into this work, and really suffered financially for it. I am now in a position where I cannot afford to return to Boston at the end of the summer to deinstall the show. I can take responsibility for my own decisions, for choosing to pursue this work, knowing that this might happen. And, I can humbly ask my community for support.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>If I raise $1000, I can return to Boston at the end of July to deinstall the show, and transport the paintings to the families. (The paintings are theirs to keep!) This is the bare minimum to finish the project.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>If I raise $2000, I can visit Boston in June and organize a Pride event around the show, celebrating trans kids and their families! I'd also like to host an art workshop for trans adults, focusing on reclaiming childhood dreams.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>If I raise $3000... I can start thinking about continuing this project beyond Boston. I would love to do this again my hometown, Atlanta, with a new group of kids. Disclaimer: I have a lot of other work to finish first, so it would take me a while! The initial work of organizing another show would include applying for grants, reaching out to local museums and galleries, and connecting with local trans families.<br /><br />My goal is $5000, which would allow me to get back on my feet, feel like a person again, and dedicate substantial time to organizing another Protect Trans Dreams show in Atlanta. I really believe this work matters, and I want to do it again -- just not for free this time. If it's something my community wants, then it's something I want to do.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Please share, support, and donate if you can. I really appreciate any help I can get.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>

<div> 
</div>

Help Sarah get surgery to heal

<span style="color:rgb(127,127,127);">Hi everyone, <br /><br />Some of you may know me and some of you don’t, so let me introduce myself. <br /><br />I’m Riot and my family and I need to find a new place to call home. <br /><br />We are a group of Black lgbtq+ folks, young and old, animals and humans, folks who are mentally ill, gender non conforming, s*x workers, disabled,  you name it. <br />Pretty much anyone who needs to be here is here. <br /><br />For the last year, we’ve been living in a house big enough for us as our family only grew larger. <br /><br />Our landlord is now deciding to do renovations and would not like to offer us a full term lease. <br /><br />So that leaves our Black family in all our marginalizations without housing. <br /><br />So we need your help.<br /> Most of us struggle with everyday employment (such as a 9 to 5pm) but we do gig and engage in survival s*x work for daily funds but it’s not enough to afford the down payment/deposit, security, first month, and whatever else the new landlord or broker might ask for. As well as moving fees. <br /><br />So please, if you can, share, donate, spread the word. <br />We need all the help we can get. <br /><br />Thank you for listening, <br />Riot <br />House Mother of the Jellicles <br /><br /></span>

Help the Jellicles fund their forever home!

In January 2020 Ash was diagnosed with AML leukemia completely out of the blue. From symptoms to leukemia ward within a month. It has been a whirlwind and currently we are both on unpaid leave from work! We don't know yet how much more we'll have to pay in medical bills or if he will need a stem cell transplant, but the doctor says the latter is likely. <br /><br />Ash is a vet tech and active artist in the queer community of Atlanta. He is a genuine soul who is always there to support others, but now he is the one in need of support. <br />And we could use all the support we can get!<br /><br />I've set the goal at 10k for now until insurance starts sending the bills and we really know what we're in for. <br /><br />Will keep everyone posted!<br /><br />If you are looking for other ways to support us consider donating platelets to the bone marrow transplant unit at Northside hospital on Ash's behalf!
