Help Cy Breathe Again

Disabled community member raising funds to address mold toxicity, covid recovery and survival needs.

Unable to work or receive disability social security from the state, Cy’s illnesses leave them consistently trapped in a cycle of physical and financial precarity, and artistic stasis. They are in need of a long-term network of care & support as they navigate erratic symptoms that are consistently debilitating, isolating, and limiting.

Disabled people deserve to rest comfortably in homes that don’t contribute to our worsening health, while being forced into isolation by the public at large in multi-pandemic times.

in solidarity,
