Beeline Studio

Dear Friends and Supporters,

I find myself at a crossroads, both personally and professionally, and I feel it's important to be transparent about the challenges I'm facing.

Firstly, my ex has filed a motion to have me forcibly removed from my home on November 7th. Her lawyer, Dominic Porrino, has been working diligently to marginalize my experiences, dismissing my efforts to make Beeline a safe space for q***r people as an attempt to turn a yoga studio into a "drag show."

The truth is, I've been a victim of physical, verbal, and emotional abuse throughout my relationship with her. Despite this, she now seeks to claim the home I've invested in, both emotionally and financially. Her claims are not only false but deeply hurtful, as they undermine the trauma and oppression I've experienced.

I'm currently on approved FMLA leave due to clinical and manic depression, making this an especially vulnerable time for me. I've been working hard to negotiate with creditors and keep everything afloat, but the challenges are overwhelming.

As for Beeline, we fell short of our fundraising goal, raising only a third of the money required to keep us going. I've come to the painful realization that I can't handle Beeline on my own, and our current volunteers are also stretched thin.

I'm now facing a legal battle that will cost me $3,000, money I simply don't have. I've even sold my car as an emergency measure. The situation has escalated to a point where I fear for my safety, particularly from law enforcement who may be sent to forcibly remove me from my home.

I don't expect anyone to solve this for me, but I won't lie—I'm terrified. I'm sharing this not to garner pity, but to paint a full picture of the dire circumstances I find myself in.

If you can offer any form of support, whether emotional, financial, or legal, it would mean the world to me. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
