<div>This fundraiser is for our friend and sister Christina Rodriguez, who recently lost her husband Michael. Thanks for considering contributing to help support Christina in the most difficult time of her life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Christina and Michael had been married for six years, and in that time created a devoted network of friends. They threw great parties, shared delicious food and clever stories, and cheered on their friends in all endeavors. It is our turn now to support Christina.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Both of them worked hard, full time, but we all know that is not enough to get ahead in NYC. Michael was a professional chef, who had recently opened his own restaurant/bar in Bed Stuy with two partners. Many friends of theirs, us included, spent evenings at Three Maples, enjoying cocktails and their transcendent elote dip. Christina is self-employed as a successful voiceover artist who has worked in commercials and film.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a result of Michael's sudden passing, we want to help Christina to get through the next few months. Funeral and memorial expenses, time away from voiceover work, and even just rent are all stressful expenses on the horizon. If you are able to contribute even a little while Christina picks up the pieces and figures out her next move, we'd all be so grateful.

For Christina Rodriguez,in memory of Michael Felix

<div>[Edit: I unfortunately need a revision on this surgery, and am asking for more help if you are able to offer it. Please see update below for more information.]
</div>

</div>
<div>My name is Saerlaith. I came out when I was nineteen. Eight years later I am still waiting for treatment. Like so many trans people, I have watched as my hopes for surgery have faded away; private treatment is my only option. I have changed careers. I have stopped making art. I work as many hours as I can, all so that I can save for surgery. Without support, I won’t ever reach my goal. The total cost of surgery is £30,000. I have taken out a personal loan and have some savings. Even then, I need to raise £21,000 to be able to pay for surgery. This surgery will change my life. It will mean I can feel safe walking down the street. It will relieve years of stress and discomfort. It will mean I can finally move on with my life. I don’t want to wait any longer. I believe things can be better, and I am allowing myself the vulnerability of asking for your help. Please help me to live the more joyous life that I have been dreaming of. Love, Saerlaith.

<div>About Saerlaith (Kate &amp; Fionn) When I (Kate) think of Saerlaith, I think of her dancing. I’m at one of the first trans events I’ve ever been to, organised by her and the team at TLAS (Trans Live Art Salon). She’s behind the decks, because she’s the DJ, but she catches my eye and waves so slightly that her rhythm isn’t disturbed. It’s the first time someone like me recognises that I’m like them. You probably think of her dancing too, or maybe suddenly singing a song you’ve never heard. You couldn’t remember half the puns she’s made in one conversation, not to mention the odd thousand that litter the history of all your conversations. Saerlaith’s been there as a frankly underappreciated volunteer in organisations like STL (Small Trans Library) and THR (Trans Harm Reduction). She’s worked to improve trans people’s access to the arts in both Ireland and Scotland. Over the years her sincerity and passion have never wavered. We want her to feel as confident and happy in herself as she has made so many of us feel. We want her to get the care she deserves.

Gender-Affirming Surgery for Saerlaith

We are organizing a motorcoach to bring 55 people from NYC to DC on August 28th, 2020 for the 57th Anniversary of the March on Washington. This is a historic and crucial time in the Black Lives Matter movement fight against police brutality and hundreds upon hundreds of years of systemic racism. We want to bring as many members of the NYC Black Lives Matter movement as possible to take part in this important and historic march, and your generous donation will ensure that can happen.

NYC Bus to March on Washington 2020

Dear Friends, <br /><br />As many of you know I make my living primarily as a photographer. Tonight I lost all of my equipment in the back of a cab, while transporting a number of things after working a 12 hour day. I am currently shooting a 14 show festival, (that I am also producing, so photographing free of charge), serving a large community of artists, and am beyond tired and financially stretched. <br /><br />My liability insurance for the event I was shooting does not cover this expense as it did not happen on site. <br /><br />I need to replace lenses, camera body, CF cards, flash, by Sunday morning in order to meet my obligations to my clients. That's most likely not going to happen. Any amount would be helpful in this situation. <br /><br />Jody
