POC Artist Seeking Healing and Help
Donation protected
My name is Cailyn, and I am raising funds to support a POC, nonbinary, queer artist struggling with a sudden eviction, sexual assault, drug addiction, and mental health issues. They are a deeply caring person and friend with a gentle soul. They overflow with creativity and share their perspective generously with the world through their art.
After being kicked out of their housing without a 30-day eviction notice, they were sexually assaulted by a Lyft driver. They grew up in an abusive home environment and are currently experiencing financial instability. They have been going through a tough time the past few years, as so many of us have, and we are asking for your support to see them through this especially challenging time. They need a break and an opportunity to get the help they deserve.
Your generous donation will ensure X has a safe place to stay while they focus on their healing and recovery.
Longterm, X’s goal is to develop an art collective center for healing trauma in youth. Their drive to heal themselves and others around them brings to light X’s altruistic, kind and giving nature. Thank you for your support and consideration.
