Survived a Hate Crime — Now We’re Fighting to Heal

ive put it in a link because it was really distressing for me to see and i dont want the image of a black queer person in the hospital as the image that circulates. this black queer married couple survived a violent racist and queerphobic attack and they only have 3% of their goal in helping them with bills and therapy. from their gofundme:

"We survived something that should’ve ended us. And now we’re speaking out — not just for ourselves, but for everyone who’s ever been targeted and forced to stay quiet.

This was hate. Targeted. Deliberate. And deadly. I’m not sharing this for sympathy — I’m sharing it because silence protects the people who did this. And they walked away while we were left to fight for our lives. To those who know us: your support means everything as we begin to heal — physically, emotionally, and mentally. Please keep us in your prayers and share this to raise awareness.This kind of hate is still out here. It’s real. It’s violent. It almost killed us. But we survived for a reason. We are asking for your help."

this article further explains what happened and two of the people charged. it is extremely triggering for black queer folks so please be careful

#MutualAidRequest to help a disabled trans couple be sheltered again

Goal:
$130/$170 to book two nights
($130/$300 aim for 3 nights + non-food essentials)

Hello Fedi. My partner @LukeOrion and I are only $40 away from being able to book two nights inside the motel again after spending last three nights outside in our RV in the heat without plumbing and electricity (generator doesn’t work and we can’t use the air conditioner). And if we didn’t have enough on our plate, after running the RV last night to keep the battery from dying our engine started leaking some kind of fluid (likely coolant) AGAIN, so we can’t even currently leave the motel parking lot. At least two nights inside would help us be able to figure out dealing with that.

We have an overall goal of $300 which would cover three nights inside along with other non-food essentials. Thankfully we received our EBT card yesterday and we no longer have to worry about staying fed.

We are a disabled trans couple that struggles to be able to get by. We have survived being unhoused on multiple occasions now. We are currently seeking more permanent housing options for us (like renting a room).

Please boost for us, thank you!

#MutualAidRequest to help a disabled trans couple be sheltered again and stay fed

Goal:
$19/$300

Hello fedi. Trying to raise $300 so that my partner @LukeOrion and I can be sheltered again tomorrow and stay fed in the mean time. Because of a city ordinance limiting stays to 28 days we have had to be out of the motel that we had been staying in for the last two nights. If we are able to raise the funds then we can be able to check in again tomorrow. We have been staying in our RV that doesn’t have working plumbing or generator in the meantime.

We are a disabled trans couple that struggles to be able to get by. We have survived being unhoused on multiple occasions now. We are looking into more permanent housing options for us (like renting a room), and at long term RV park options in cheaper parts of the state.

Please boost for us, thank you!
