Hey all, I’m a cis ally in the upper Midwest of the USA. I offered a room to Keris a while back and she accepted.
She got here Wednesday night and things are going very well. She likes me, my wife, and our cats and one dog, and is learning to tolerate the other.
She has an attic bedroom that is her space alone.
She has time to unwind and figure out what she wants to do without fear of being dumped on the streets.
I just wanted to let you all know that we have taken her in and that she is safe and loved.
I can not express the gratitude I have for you. Keris seemed to be in a desperate situation and I think you are going to be such a positive influence on her life as she moves forward.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Youre a modern day underground railroad safe haven for us trans people who just want to live our lives.
The world needs more people like you and your family. ❤️
Take care and again, thank you for saving a close friend
Oddly/sadly, we have already had that discussion with Keris as we are in a position to get her up to Canada if things get more dangerous.
And yes, thank you, this is why I stepped up, because I can and I haven’t been. It’s always gnawed at me knowing I could help more if I just opened up.
