acacia now has only 5 days until their rent is due, and there is still $1,975 to raise

10 people donating $198 or 20 people donating $99 or 25 people donating $79 shall get acacia to their goal

$800 / $2,775 due tuesday april 2

from acacia: i do not have, and have never had, a basic quality of life i have had the first four decades of my life taken from me by the harmful actions of others, and have had to endure living in severe poverty, painfully witnessing my life and my potential and go to waste every day, because i have never been deemed worthy of receiving basic needs and have been left to go without

i live with immeasurable grief and have to come to terms with not only the loss and destruction to my life but also the significant loss of my capacity, only ever being able to experience a mere shadow of what i was originally capable of; all of this because of harmful others who'll never know what i've lived through and shall never go without a day in their life

your donations and sharing support have the power to radically transform acacia's life, interrupt the cycles of oppression they are trapped in, end the suffering they are so familiar with, and provide them with an opportunity to move toward the life they deserve

acacia does not have the privilege of community, friends, connections, or people to help share, and they are also extremely isolated; they are relying on people who see this post here to either share or to contribute

please circulate these flyers in spaces where they are likely to receive donations and contribute if you have $1 or more of wealth to spare 🤍

Queer people don't always understand being disabled. Other disabled people don't understand being queer. People in MH recovery spaces are hostile to people w/ severe trauma, including ppl with BPD. Even in disability-centereed spaces we get shunned for fucking something- being too young, having rarer symptoms and disorders, being autistic, simply not being part of the clique, idfk.

And fully none of them understand being homeless.

Even among other outcasts, we are unwelcome and off-putting. The other people who understand this aren't people in the same demographics as us; they are other people who are part of multiple demographics that are marginalized.

And ykw I haven't heard anyone use that term in years anyway. If I search "multiply marginalized" on here, I can find a few folks using it as an MA boost tag, but otherwise, I get posts from, like, fucking 2015. No wonder nobody gives a damn about intersectional politics anymore, we aren't fucking talking about them...!

acacia has fought very hard for very many years to find safety & a safe, accessible, stable place to live.

they have done so all alone, without adequate access to basic needs while being continuously targetted by violence.

since arriving in safety at the end of january, acacia found a suitable property & was able to move in with funds raised through the care4acacia campaign.

they now need support to maintain their safety & to continue to remain in this home.

$2,775 is due on april 2

context i have been urgently needing to raise funds for tech ever since my ipad was maliciously damaged while i was fighting for my survival on the streets; it completely stopped working last year, and i lost essential functionality for communication and basic needs as a disabled person, for my artwork, my ability to do my work and earn income, and i lost all of my work and essential paperwork

i have had to prioritize housing and groceries and other essential needs, so my tech needs have been going unknown and unresolved

i can't continue on anymore with this tiny little ipod touch ( the only device i have ) because: it's old and is now now refusing to charge most days it overheats very rapidly and turns off for long periods it has been discontinued so none of the apps are working anymore because companies are all designing them for a later version of ios i cannot continue to try to do all of my work and rely on the limited functionality of a tiny (broken) ipod touch where most of the apps aren't even working anymore the ipod touch doesn't have the functions i need a) for accessibility and b) functionality for my work/so i can earn income

i rely 100% on tech as a disabled person to do everything essential in my life; a lack of the tech i need is a serious safety issue, would isolate me from absolutely all communication with anyone ~ my life is necessarily entirely online, being able to get my needs met, and a significant hindrance to my ability to function each day

i need specific tech to be able to offer my services and earn income

i need access to this tech before i begin a 9-month intensive neurographica® course on may 9 [i also need to raise funds to cover the course fee, which is $6,000/€5,500]

[please no suggestions about secondhand or other options ~ i cannot use other brands/models or secondhand or refurbished products for health reasons and i need to purchase these products myself directly from the manufacturer: thank you]

theme: roller skates, teal, gold, white and pink

and the beautiful vision that guided them to it

$540/$3,125 => $2,585 remaining

✷ URGENT ✷ in order to remain housed, acacia needs to raise $2,585 by saturday march 2, i.e. within the next 4 days

for over two decades, guided by a vision of a re-indigenized healing sanctuary and optimal quality of life for their heavily marginalized and traumatized peers, acacia has fought tirelessly, day after day, in severe poverty, navigating ongoing interpersonal and systemic harm and a continuous barrage of unrelenting challenges, to find safety and an accessible place to live

this is a call to acacia's communities to protect acacia's safety and the vision that guided them to it by donating, sharing and doing everything you can to ensure this need is met

we'll succeed if: 10 people donate $258 20 people donate $129 30 people donate $87
