[[$1 for $1] Help create & connect LGBTQ young people with affirming communities
Happy Pride,
Friend of Trevor!
As we come together to celebrate Pride, I want to thank you for supporting The Trevor Project. Youâre part of a fierce and dedicated community that allows our organization to provide best-in-class, life-saving services for LGBTQ young people 24/7/365. That is the power of us.
Twenty-five years ago, after the success of âTREVORâ â an Oscar-winning short-film I directed about a 13-year old boy whose world turns upside down when word spreads that heâs gay â I soon discovered there were no 24/7 crisis lines that met the unique needs of LGBTQ young people. That weighed on me. So, I found a crisis intervention expert who helped set things up and train counselors. I enlisted my fellow âTREVORâ producer, Randy Stone, and "TREVORâs" screenwriter, Celeste Lecesne. In three months, we raised funds and The Trevor Project was born.
Iâm calling on you today to help ensure that our crisis counselors are always a call, chat, or text away from LGBTQ young people who are feeling anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed.
Thatâs why âStories of Pride â The Power of Usâ is Trevorâs theme this Pride. The âUsâ is you, me, and every supportive ally who unites â during Pride and every day â to create and connect LGBTQ young people with communities that celebrate and uplift them.
Thatâs the âPower of Usâ â and your generosity!
In community and service,
Peggy Rajski she/her/hers
