Support for Gabi

Donation protected
UPDATE: the goal was originally $8,000, but as of 7/19/2020 Gabi was in an accident while swimming that has resulted in her spine being fractured and surgery on 7/21/2020. Surgery was successful and she is recovering, but I have raised the goal to account for medical bills and comfortable healing. The goal may change later on as we don’t know how much it will cost yet but we know it will be a lot. Thank you for your support. ——————————————————————-

This fundraiser is for my best friend Gabriella to be able to go back to cosmetology school, and for her to purchase a car. 

Gabi is a Black Trans Woman living in Minneapolis. She has a vital role and is deeply loved in this community and she needs our support at this time.

Gabi has gone through some of cosmetology school, but was unable to finish and obtain her license due to lack of funds. She has tried to finish school numerous times in the past couple years, but has been unable to because of transphobia that she was experiencing from students and administration. She is feeling more ready than ever to finish school and obtain her cosmetology license, which would give her access to a stable job and more financial stability and independence. $3,600 will go towards her schooling.

The rest of the money ($4,400) will be used for Gabi to purchase herself a car. For Gabi to have a car, she would feel more confident in her independence and sense of safety. She wants to be able to easily and safely travel to and from school, work, and to be supporting the community with supply runs and volunteering . As a Black Trans Woman, having a car and feeling more safe and independent is very important and detrimental to her peace of mind. Her quality of life would be improved significantly!

Gabi needs us, this is your chance to support a Black Trans Woman in fulfilling her dreams of being licensed in cosmetology and having a better sense of safety. Anything extra will be given directly to her. Please donate what you can and share!!
