Remembering Mel Baggs

Donation protected
Our community is mourning the loss of Mel Baggs, writer and activist, who passed away unexpectedly on April 11, 2020. 

Mel's loved ones need help to preserve Mel's writings and artwork, ship treasured items and family heirlooms to the people sie would want them to go to, and take care of other expenses related to hir death. Right now our most urgent needs are: 

* Hiring movers to move Mel's personal items out of hir apartment, dispose of items that won't be needed, and store personal belongings until they can safely be sorted through
* Hiring a medical disposal company to move anything that can't be safely disposed of by traditional movers
* Shipping family heirlooms to their intended recipients
* Helping to care for Mel's beloved cat, Igor

Any excess donations will be used for a memorial fund to continue Mel's work.

Donations will be managed by Laura Tisoncik.
