Help Justine Escape From Her Abusive Household

Donation protected
Hi everyone! We are raising funds for a beautiful 22 year old trans woman named Justine for her gender transition and to enable her move out of her abusive home. Here's a little bit about her story, and why we're raising funds for her:

Justine was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. From the time of her birth until now, her family members have not been supportive of her transition and have made her feel unwelcome in her own home. She was forced to undergo conversion therapy in her church at a young age and attended a public school where she was harassed,bullied, and sexually assaulted because of her sexual orientation. Throughout the years, Justine has received psychologically-harmful threats from her siblings and other family members that target her for being transgender.
Because of this and other developments Justine no longer feels safe around her immediate family members, and therefore we are  seeking additional financial support for her to be able to live and complete her transition without them.

She was homeless from March-May 2020 due to losing her job and apartment from the COVID-19 pandemic so she had to move back home to a very abusive and unconducive environment. As of now, she is focusing her finances on essentials such as housing and food and so the future of her gender transition remains uncertain.

We are aiming to raise $9,500 by December 2020 in order to pay for her transition-related costs, such as therapy sessions, clothing to wear to work, and the psychiatric medications and hormones that keep her stable.

Therapy, medication, and clothing may not seem like necessities. However, our society has created conditions where transgender women and other gender non-conforming folk depend on them for our mental and physical survival. If you are unable to donate today, you can still help by sharing this page with others or telling your friends about Justine's story for it is only one of many.
