Hi, I’m Lamia, reaching out for support to recover from top surgery and rebuild a stable life for myself and my two kids.

For 20+ years, I’ve created safe spaces for LGBTQIA, IBMPOC folks and uplifted practitioners of various healing modalities. Now, I need my community to help me rise from a place of survival to stability.

Why I Need Your Help:

On Jan 7, 2025 I will have top surgery. In addition to surgery recovery, I am also recovering from severe burnout. Your donation (of any size) will help to lift me out of a cycle of poverty and stabilize my foundation—for myself, my kids, clients, and community.

Without a family safety net, I’m asking for the strength of community to help me make this pivotal transition.

Here’s What I Need:

Top Surgery: $3,500 (for what's not covered by OHIP)

Recovery Time: $15,000 (2 months of expenses for me and my kids)

Rebuilding Fund: $6,500 (for license fees, taxes, and creating an emergency fund)

These funds will provide the stability I need to recover fully, rebuild, and relaunch into a sustainable future where I can continue serving others without the constant burden of financial precarity.

The Math:

Much like the sliding scale models I’ve co-created over the years, our strength lies in collective numbers. I invite you to donate what you can and share this with your networks. Please send this to anyone who is an ally or 2SLGBTQIA. Also your grandma, cousin, bestie and work huswife are great too! If 1,000 people each give $25, I’ll reach my goal. Whether you donate, share, or both—every action makes a difference.

Why This Matters:

Your support will make a profound difference, helping me overcome barriers, find balance, and continue giving back. Thank you for being in my corner.

Together, we can make this launch pad a reality!

Thank you everyone.
