(Updated) DONATIONS NEEDED: Help Bianca succeed post-incarceration!

EDIT: We are no longer accepting donations for Bianca – we have been informed that she has passed away. We wish her power and peace in her final rest.

Hey folks, we’re soliciting a round of clothing donations! A trans woman named Bianca* reached out to us from prison to ask for help accumulating resources for when she gets out and moves to transitional housing in the next few weeks – she has run into cyclical issues before when being transferred into women’s housing without feminizing resources.
We’ll sponsor some shaving supplies, but clothing and hygiene products would be very welcome! I asked for sizing and style preferences and received the following info:

General clothing sizing: M to L
Bust: 38C
Shoes: 13 women’s (can fit a 12)
Waist: 34″
Hips: 35.5″
Style: “I love low rise jeans, like Dorinan brand ‘type’ idea. I am a more ‘femme’ than butch tomboy type. I like skirts, jeans, trackpants, not so much dresses. Yoga pants are my favourite. I like tight fitting stuff and tops. Whatever you can help me find I am sure I would be happy with.”

We would greatly appreciate donations dropped off 11am-6pm any day, minding that we are closed Sun Aug 4th and Mon Aug 5th!

*Bianca has agreed to us publicly disclosing her identity, acknowledging that publicity can help with donation solicitations. This is a 2015 article published about her incarceration:
