fernstream: kittyit: I’m posting this fundraiser for a friend! Jae is incredible - her magazine Maize is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in women’s land. Please consider helping keep this woman afloat so she can survive & thrive & many more women can visit her land in New Mexico. “Dear friends, you may know Jae Haggard as the publisher of Maize: Country Womyn’s Magazine and womyn’s land directory. Jae is also the keeper at Outland womyn’s land in New Mexico and the creator of Woman Earth and Spirit, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding possibilities for landykes, lesbians, and other women. Jae works hard to offer community connection to rural lesbians and to hold space for womyn in the world. She is as kindhearted and generous as can be.Some friends and I met Jae this summer when we visited Outland to help her with work on the land, and we’ve kept in touch since then. I love her so much. She’s grounded, loving, wise, and full of stories of life on lesbian lands. Meeting her and spending time with her on land has taught me so much and changed my life for the better — I’ve said a few times that knowing her feels how I imagine it would be to be close with a grandmother, and if you saw her texts and emails all beginning “Hello you dear on this beautiful soft Outlandish morning,” you’d know what I mean.Recently Jae has had some challenges with her health. She is asking womyn to focus our energy on her innate vibrant health as she works to heal from within. “We are what we envision,” she says. Because of these challenges, Jae had to cancel visitors to Outland for a couple of months. She could use some community support to help with treatment and to make ends meet until she’s feeling better again. Anything you can offer will show her that she is surrounded by caring community and will help ease things for her. She sends her trademark “deep heartfull appreciation and love” for all of your prayers and intentions for her healing, and for any material support you can offer. Every little bit will make a big difference.” GOFUNDME Hey, I’m the friend! Jae is so dear to my heart & such a blessing to all of us. Now it’s time for us to show up for her – please, please contribute what you can as you hold her strong and healthy in your thoughts. Even a few dollars from each of many of us will go a long long way! -- source link
