A month ago, my chilld's father survived a terrifying accident. We are very lucky that he was able to walk away—but our car was utterly totaled, and now we're unable to replace it. I am a genderfluid, queer writer providing full-time childcare to our 9-month-old infant. I am also launching Impure Leftist, a newsletter that aims to help the disparate factions of the American left create resilient coalitions for lasting change in the face of fascism and climate despair. While we did receive an insurance payout for the car, it won't cover the replacement cost of a reliable used vehicle in the current market. Plus, most of that check ended up paying our rent due to lost work from injuries sustained in the car accident... and that rent is about to go up, too. Unfortunately, we don't have the credit scores that would help us access affordable car loans. So this one calamity has knocked down a row of dominoes leading to increasingly stressful situations for our family.

I have some great work opportunities available, but they require a vehicle. We also need a car to access medical appointments, groceries, and other necessities of daily life. Our child is too young to safely ride public transit during an ongoing pandemic, and we're not in an easily accessible part of the city. That's why this is such an urgent ask. Your donation will help us recover from this crisis, and continue to do our essential work as activists and parents. Any additional funds beyond our goal will help us cover related costs such as car insurance, registration fees, gas, and any repairs/parts that our newly acquired vehicle may need.
