I build around the failures most people ignore, especially the ones many assume are functioning when they are not. Right now, I am living inside that reality. I am navigating an active systemic crisis to protect my son and our safety from crimes that have not stopped and have yet to be acknowledged in any meaningful way. This is not a bid for pity. It is the plain truth of my life. I only ask for clear understanding.

Support here functions as the literal overhead of my survival. It goes toward housing, medical transportation, and the basic capacity required to keep me in this fight, down to a clean toothbrush and the ability to get to my doctors. If you value me, my son, or the work I do, this is how you help keep us standing. It supports the infrastructure required for our lives not to be dismantled.
