Hey buds, things have been quiet over here. Social media isn’t top of mind for me but regardless, I’ve been spending time on the best project ever, Mx. Fix It itself. One big revelation that came up is that I’m not a business, I’m Danny ✨🙇🏻‍♂️✨
I’ve got a few ideas on how this changes things but you should stick around as I move towards an actual pay it forward platform, start teaching/skill sharing, mix in some of my other skills, and expand this idea of “help” out of a construction zone 💛

Hello, this is Danny 👋 the owner of Mx. Fix It and excuse me, 😳 500? What?

That absolutely snuck up on me. But of course it did because that was all You!

While I’ve been busy doing task for y’all, you’ve been sending folks our way and from the bottom of my heart I can’t thank you enough.

Did you know Mx. Fix It never had a hard launch? We haven’t stopped working since we soft launched in November and we’re so close to being able to officially start building the roster with subcontractors 😅 it’s been crunch time while we go through this growth spurt and I see and appreciate everyone who has met me with compassion and encouragement while I brave all the uncomfortable white cis male dominated areas of handy work to help folks who need it. 💪

Speaking of being hot 🔥

Let us know if you need a hand with installing your AC units this year! *We’re talking little guys only, no home systems or anything.

We can help get custom pieces of plexiglass for hoses or wide windows. Making sure it’s safe, secure and sealed.

The tiring task of being hot all month long is here 🥵

Remember to drink your water 💦

But seriously, we’ve been focusing on creating space that isn’t just tolerant but celebratory, pushing local organizations to express their allyship loud and proud, individually helped 40+ people, held office hours where we came together in q***r company, AND we’ve been getting all the boring ducks in a row so we can bring this roster to life. 🤠

In short, we’re proud to work for the lgbtqia+ community and give folks a safe resource all year round 💪🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

‼️CW: alluding to unsafe housing and violence.

Our homes have a way of capturing moments in time. Including moments we’d rather forget.

Growing up, I (Danny 👋) remember learning to live with the little marks, dents, and holes, from years prior that at a glance told a tumultuous story. It didn’t seem like fixing it was an option. We just lived inside a scrapbook.

Feeling empowered to erase painful memories can help leave those reminders in the past for good. Your home should be able to evolve just as quickly as you 🌱

Whether it’s patching a hole or adding a coat of paint, Mx. Fix It can help you get a fresh start 💪

We are working towards a pay it forward type program where if we have extra materials from previous jobs we can offer discounts to people who need it.

So, make sure you’re transparent about your budget when filling out a request form and we’ll try to meet you where you are. And anyone who can contribute, this is where community support and donations come in handy!

We’re trying something a little different! Tell your friends 🙂

We’re hoping to continue to bring pay it forward projects with your help 💪 Materials, traveling, tools, time. It all adds up and we want to continue helping as much as possible.

The details: If you need a sink, email [email protected] with subject line “my sink is draining me” and we will work through the details to see if we can install this sink for you.

That’s the post.

Stop apologizing 😤

You’re a human with crushing responsibilities.

Whenever something feels awkward to me I like to just say it out loud, bring it into the light and then give it a good gut punch. 🥊 This time it’s the follow back.

Have you been curious why Mx. Fix It gave you a follow?

1. So we can root for you when we see you doing really brave things 🥹
2. So we can offer advice if you are asking about something 🤔
3. So we can try to connect some dots in the Grand Rapids q***r community🏳️‍🌈

Wanna know a secret? There are a lot of people working towards similar goals or goals that could build off of each other but y’all need to say your dreams out loud or ask for help and support. That’s the only way we can figure out how to work together 💪

Oh, last thing on the follow back, it’s totally chill if you wanna deny the request. Keep up those boundaries bestie. Buuut our bad if we tired to add you twice 😅

A little love note from a trans business owner 💌

To those dismantling the gender binary, fighting for the imagination of others, for the freedom of everyone, for the safety and futures of trans children, to those moving resiliently towards defiant truth rather than ignorant bliss…

We see you. Now make sure you’re filling your cup up, ok? 💛

We need you strong for the marathon, not a quick race and if that means you store your magic away until the sun shines, so be it. Fill your cup.

Let your friends lighten the load and always, always ask for help 💪
