Help Disabled Activist Avoid Eviction

Daphne Frias is organizing this fundraiser.

My name is Daphne Frias, and at 26, I'm facing a battle on multiple fronts.

As a disabled activist fighting for justice, I've dedicated my life to uplifting marginalized voices. But today, I'm reaching out because my family and I are in crisis. For years, we've endured abhorrent living conditions in our apartment: relentless leaks, toxic mold, infestations, and crumbling walls.

Our landlord has ignored our pleas, offering only temporary fixes that mask deeper problems. We've poured our own money into repairs just to keep our home livable. The situation has spiraled out of control. Our bathroom ceiling collapsed, forcing us to flee in the middle of the night. Bed bugs invaded my bedroom, leaving me covered in bites.

Just as we thought things couldn't get worse, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Throughout my grueling cancer treatment, the mold continued to spread, even growing mushrooms. We couldn't afford to move, so we relied on air purifiers to protect my weakened immune system.

Finally, after a long legal battle, our landlord has been ordered to make comprehensive repairs. But with my health still fragile, we need to relocate while the work is done. The landlord refuses to provide suitable accommodations, leaving us with a devastating choice: find temporary housing or risk my recovery.

We're asking for your help to raise $26,000 to cover the remaining rent arrears and the cost of relocation. This money is crucial for our safety and well-being. It will allow us to find a temporary home where I can heal and rest, free from the constant threat of illness and injury. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a tangible difference in our lives. It will give us the chance to rebuild and reclaim our home, a place where we can finally feel safe and secure.
