My girlfriend’s family desperately needs help. They’ll be homeless on Monday (4/8) after her mom’s partner was fired for reporting transphobic harassment in Kentucky. Since then, every attempt to find a new job has been met with discrimination.
The court has given them only 2 days to leave. They have 2 kids (6 & 16) and 2 dogs, and they are about to lose the only home they have.
Their own family promised to help… but instead, they stole from them and assaulted my girlfriend, who is 16 and trans. Now they have almost nothing. Even the storage unit with the kids’ belongings will be sold on 4/6 if it isn’t paid off.
They have no one left to turn to. Any donation, even a small one, or a simple boost could be the difference between safety and losing everything.
We are working on setting up a gofundme but due to current circumstances can't receive text messages to verify the account.
However, we need to begin raising 20,000$USD immediately so that we can begin the visa application process, for which the Japanese government requires a fairly substantial 10k in an account in our name as "proof" that we can be a productive resident.
This visa is our best, and possibly only way to escape the growing fascism in America before it's too late. 🙏🏽 #mutualaid
