Life is funny. People see you on Twitter and think they know you.... but I only a handful of you know me irl. Irina is one of those people.

Irina and I go way back and people used to assume we were siblings. White folks in LA would often we were the same person :/
-
Irina knows the most intimate things about me. They've carried me through thick and thin. Always my advocate. Always my best critic.
-
I've had bouts where I wasn't always sure I'd make it. Irina knew I would... mostly, they made sure I did.
-
If I've ever said something that made you think twice, or brought a new perspective to life, it's probably because of Irina.
-
And I've tried to do the same. Most recently, been hanging out with Irina and Ixi. Here's a photo I took a few hours after Ixi was born <3pic.twitter.com/NdDHs1n6W3

Irina was laid off from work last year and it's been a struggle. Now, they've a new life in their life. The most precious little thing.
-
I want Irina and Ixi to do more than survive. I want all their needs met in these first few months. I want you to understand and donate.
-
I don't care if all you can afford to donate at the moment is $1. That's enough, especially if enough of you do it.
-
I especially want cis men who know all the right words but rarely know the right actions to donate: https://www.youcaring.com/irinacontreras-803155 …

There is so much wrong in the world. You don't need me to tell you that. I'm just asking that you contribute to something that's right.

Part of saying we're committed to justice in the time of Trump means showing up, supporting qpoc and their babies. Here's your opportunity.

This isn't the first time I'm tweeting this fundraiser, and I doubt it will be the last. Here's the link. Donate. https://www.youcaring.com/irinacontreras-803155 …
