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.

Thank you by the way to everyone who always inquires how Kara is doing. She and I managed to successfully get a video call working on TruLinks today. A little Christmas miracle. 🎄💚 Reminder that you can always send her a letter and it's always appreciated... Kara Sternquist Register Number 44404061 FMC Carswell Federal Medical Center P.O. Box 27137 Fort Worth, TX 76127 Handwritten or typed is okay, but always use plain white paper. (Fancy cards or thick paper stock can be considered a security risk.) Photos are allowed, too. But print them on regular photo paper and of a standard size and don't show anything risque or criminal. (Photos can delay someone's mail, but mail is always unpredictable on the inside.) If you include your email address she can reply that way, too, via CorrLinks. (Be sure to check your spam and junk folder regularly because prison messages can wind up there... especially the first ones in a new thread.) Happy holidays to you and to all of your loved ones. May you hold them close if you are able to. 🎄🎁
