If you've been following the story of Kara, my incarcerated trans friend who has is being held in Texas and has been behind bars for almost three years now, this is the latest need:
Everything she has left in the world is in about 7 bins like these. (It's actually maybe 5 bins like these plus two cardboard boxes and one or two small plastic shoeboxes, but you get the idea. Imagine 7 Home Depot style storage bins)
These have been in a very generous person's basement for over a year, but that person and their family are moving far away. So there's a need to re-home Kara's bins and keep them safe until her release.
Please Note: We're not looking for a handout. There's budget for this.
We need a NYC local who can help (a) secure us new a storage spot, then (b) physically move the bins to that new spot, then (c) guarantee the bins' safety until Kara's release (which could be another year but which we of course hope comes much sooner)
Again, there is reasonable budget that can be made available for a Lyft XL or a rental car (the bins are currently in Brooklyn) and for the costs of a storage unit or for funds to be paid directly to someone who will host these bins in their own possession.
If you can help, please get in touch with me.
