PDX BLACK TRANS WOMEN AID FUND I UNITED- LETS END TRANSWOMEN HOMELESSNESS hasn't added a story.
PDX Black Trans Women Mutual Aid Fund- is a grass-roots activist fund in Miami that provides urgent financial assistance and housing to Black Trans Women facing extreme housing and discrimination.
Most landlords refuse from renting to Black Trans Women, and trans women of color are being harassed and violently attacked.
Currently, the goal of this cause is to raise 500k in donations to create Trans-based communities in Miami - that provide Homeless Black Trans Women with housing- financial assistance and the opportunity to strive in a Trans community that offers acceptance and love for all Trans Women of Color.
This first step represents the rollout of 5- 10 Apartments that are purchased / lease from your donations to house Homeless Black Trans Women and as more donation comes in this Housing Model will be expanded to other areas in Miami.
WHERE I BEGAN
'' Since 2015, I began to connect with the trans community
here in Miami by offering rooms in my home for trans folks
through Airbnb Free of charge; and I realized the need for
housing in the Trans Community is an epidemic with lots of Trans
Women facing Human Rights being Violations; as landlords and
others with the community discriminate, and sometimes impose
injustice on us Trans Folks. ''
As for myself, I have been accommodating
homeless trans women in my homes long before I made this Go Fund
Me; However, the epidemic of homelessness among Black Trans
Women is so huge that I alone can't finance it. As such, I need
your help as the need is far greater than what I can provide
personal and so I'm reaching out to all folks to help me with
gain enough resources to lease or buy apartments in around Miami
to house the many homeless trans women in need.
As I have already begun the journey in doing
so and have provided housing for a few Trans Women via my Airbnb
accommodations, I ask you all of you to consider making a donation
and support my cause as I venture on into opening up more homes
for trans women and expanding the model to other parts of the U.S
where the need is also greatest.
Unfortunately, since April 2020, my personal funds ran out
as my business is suffering from the COVID-19 epidemic and at a
time where the need for safe housing in the trans community -
the need for homeless trans folks is greatest. Because of such
demand couple with the COVID epidemic, my business and I aren't
able to provide the necessary resources to create more homes for
trans women out of pocket. or business profits.
In essence, the longer-term objective is to
use your donations to purchase and/or lease more properties to
house an additional 100 trans women in by the end of the year and
I'm relying on you to help me and my team make it a reality. At
the moment, my initial goal is simple to expand housing to 10
trans women in 2 homes that I will be acquiring through leasing or
buying. and then scale from there - It all depends on how this
fundraising goes.
I have come to realize and learn that there
is a harsh reality imposed on Trans Women of Color and this has
made me a better human being and put my life on the path to save
them all. Our strength as Trans Women of Color lies not in our
struggles; it is how we survive the injustice, discrimination,
reject, inequality coupled with violations of our human right to
live free from hate and oppression. In the face of adversity, we
stand strong even when facing oppression. While undertaking this
social justice work - I have met and shared my experiences with
them; cried with them, share their pain and suffer with them;
because as a Trans woman myself, I realized this: while the rest
of the world wants us not to exist, we are here, we have always
been here, and we’re not going anywhere. So all of us people have
to work to change humanity and campaign for better laws and
policies that protect the rights and dignity of us Trans Women of
Color.
OUR MAIN GOAL
Our goal is and always will be to establish permanent
housing for Trans people. However, the need to help Trans Women
of color is the greatest. As 90 percent of Black Trans Women
experience housing insecurity, homelessness, discrimination, and
violation of their human rights. Because of this Black Trans
women are particularly more venerable and experience chronic
homelessness on a more severe scale. To ensure that this never
happens the Homeless Black Trans Women Fund Miami is dedicated
to providing all wraparound services necessary to Trans Women
for them to feel safe, protected and provide housing with
wellness, career and educational programs that allow Trans of
Women of color to achieve their dreams in safe communities and
homes.
Please bear in mind that this cause depends
on your donation to get rolling - and it's really crucial that you
consider supporting it for the coming months as the girls being
house will need resources to help them combat the effects of being
homeless and long- term financial assistance to help them gain
independence.
