Kindred employee Miss Keisha and her young daughter walk the road towards the gate with Staceyann. Staceyann has learned that Miss Keisha’s eldest daughter is in the hospital in Kingston, and invites her to the office to provide some financial support for the journey.
Keisha is one of the wider pool of residents in Point Hill who benefit from Stacymann’s new farm. When necessary, she visits Kindred to collect water for her home. And as the mother of a young daughter who is fighting sickle cell disease, her relationship with Staceyann has been a source of support as she navigates these crises.
The work that Staceyann and her team do with Kindred has a direct and lasting impact on the community beyond its immediate borders. As queer persons are integrated into all communities at large despite marginalisation, Kindred's influence is felt beyond the queer community, too.
