I am fundraising for an anonymous friend, who is a trans sex worker and POC. They are at risk of losing custody of their children. Please, please donate. This is a situation that is painful and scary beyond description.

URGENT NEED! HELP KEEP FAMILY TOGETHER, DONATE NOW!

We are raising funds for a pillar of our community: a trans sex worker of color who is at risk of losing custody of their children. While their lawyers are confident they can win this discriminatory case, funds are needed by February 2026. We believe they should no longer have to face this on their own, which is why we are asking for your support.

Goal: $50,000

We are raising funds for a beloved community member; a trans sex worker of color who is at risk of losing custody of their children. For their safety and privacy they must remain anonymous, but this is a pillar of our community, loved and verified by those of us running this fundraiser.

Our friend is facing a trial in February regarding the custody of their young children. The case against them is based on the fact that their primary form of income is sex work. Notably, the judge of the initial custody arrangement ruled that their job was not reason enough to restrict their parenting time years ago. Because of this precedent, their lawyer feels very confident they will win their upcoming case.

To defend their rights to parent their own children, our friend needs to raise $75,000 by February 2026. This staggering amount of money is required by the court to cover the costs associated with a two day trial (lawyers fees, expert witnesses, the court reporter, depositions, creation of trial binders, the list goes on). If they cannot secure these funds by the February deadline, they will be forced to settle, resulting in severely reduced interaction with their children. We obviously do not want this to happen.

Our friend has provided for themself and their children for years, fighting their custody battle in private while continuing to be an incredible parent, friend, and educator. They can no longer face this by themselves, which is why we are asking for your support.

In our current political climate, we know that our friend's situation is especially precarious. This is a crucial moment to show solidarity with a community member who needs it more than ever.

disabled people are set up to die under capitalism

if you can’t work you’re offered red tape eugenics and an unlivable wage

we’re also often abandoned by family and friends on top of everything else

my brother and I need support
we’re disabled and chronically ill and just trying to survive

My car got totaled while I was asleep.

I can't afford another & insurance will only cover 1,500$. They won't cover if my neighbor avoids contact, which she is.

Any amount helps, I have cancer screening and emergency dental extraction!

#TBNC #HelpSky #MABoost #FundSky #MutualAid #HelpFolksLive

A quick image I drew, the image shows my mascot in a classic "OTL" pose with text.

The text reads: "Help us cover a car for cancer screening and emergency surgery!" Followed by an amount: 17,500.

Underneath the amount, it says "Any amount helps!" with icons for several payment processors: Gofundme, Ko-Fi, Paypal, and Cashapp.

At the bottom it reads: "Situations plus link below!"
