There is a fundraiser (link above)set up just for kitty’s wife, in the interest of supporting her even if people don’t feel comfortable donating to kitty. (context here)
She is in need of food and hormones which have ran out. She has had nothing to do with the charge discussed in the context link and kitty feels this is a better alternative to donate to her wife even if you feel uncomfortable donating to kitty, as amma (she also goes by wynter but amma is what she used on the other donation post that’s been removed) is still very much in need
On Sunday, police responded to a call of a suspicious vehicle parked on Manchester Boulevard around 3:10 am. When police arrived, they engaged in a 45-minute long standoff before opening fire on the man and woman inside the vehicle, killing them both.
The woman was pronounced dead shortly after the shooting, and the man succumbed to his injuries after paramedics transported him to a local hospital.
The shooting seemed like an open and shut case until the next day. Mayor James Butts, while responding to questions about the shooting, opened up a huge can of worms — both the man and the woman were unconscious.
For at least 45 minutes, police attempted “to rouse” them in an effort “to de-escalate the situation,” said Butts.
After admitting that the couple was asleep, Butts quickly defended the officers, noting, “Obviously at some point they were conscious because somebody felt threatened.”
However, that notion has yet to be proven and is particularly unlikely due to the fact that not a single officer received so much as a scratch, nor did the couple have any reason to be violent.
Both of the victims were parents; Kisha Michael, 31, a single mother of three sons, and Marquintan Sandlin, 32, a single father of four daughters.
Families for both described them as devoted parents who made arrangements for care of their children while they took a night off.
“The police ain’t telling us nothing,” said Trisha Michael after being met with tight lips from the department.
“He was a loving father,” said Sandlin’s sister Leandra Faulkner. “All he cared about was his girls, getting them right.”
According to his relatives, Sandlin had a ‘rough life’ but had turned it around and was working as a successful truck driver.
Sadly, these children will now grow up knowing that their parents were taken from them by cops, scared of a sleeping couple.

What the fuck, were they aggressively snoring? Who opens fire on someone they just spent 45 minutes trying to wake up? Great. Now I’ve heard it all. Cops are afraid of unconscious people. 45 minutes of de-escalation? Did it ever once occur that if you try to wake someone up in a car with loud noise and they don’t wake up, medical attention may be needed?

“ My name is Kitty and my wife Amma and I are both homeless trans women in need of a place to stay or even just a hot shower or a place to store our bags. Anything helps.

I am able to pay some rent money and we have food stamps. I am also a tattoo artist, house painter, and do some handy work, I am willing to exchange labour for a place to stay. We are very clean and will clean your house for you if desired. My number is (786)285-8054 (text preferred), email [email protected]”
Also please consider donating to our homelessness fundraiser
Yikes so uh, my family and I live in cold-ass Michigan right, well, as my parents have just informed me, we couldn’t pay our electricity bill last month, and it’s going to get shut off this month if we don’t pay them, so uh … I dunno, it’d be could is we could get some of the money so we don’t freeze in michigan’s winter.
It wouldn’t be that big of a deal imo if it was the summer, but the winter makes it kind of dire? Of course, no one needs to donate or boost! I’m sorry if this bothers any of you, I just figured it was worth a try, thank you all for putting up with this and sorry!
