Dzhoy Zuckerman via GoFundMe
From GoFundMe:
“In the early hours of July 15, 2023, local bike legend and ray of sunshine Dzhoy Zuckerman was murdered. Dzhoy was a friend to all who knew them, a parent to their child, and a deeply loved partner to Cathryn Smith.
Dzhoy moved to the United States when they were 7 years old. They made DC their home and brought a smile to the faces of anyone who met them. Dzhoy started a circus club on Sundays in Malcolm X Park to share their love of juggling with friends. They volunteered with DC Bike Party, worked as a bike mechanic, and eventually started working full time as a bike messenger.
Whether or not they were on their bike, Dzhoy was always decked out in purple. You could hear them before you saw them, with a voice that could fill any room and a joyful laugh that could be heard from miles away.
Dzhoy was one of a kind. They are sorely missed already, and their loss will reverberate for years to come.
In the immediate aftermath of their sudden passing, we are asking for funds to support their partner Cat as she gets her feet back under her. She is asking for funds to cover rent on the apartment she shared with Dzhoy, as well as day to day living expenses while she is grieving and unable to work.
Thank you for supporting Dzhoy’s memory.”

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
