Hi Friend of Trevor,

My name is Dennis, and I am proud to be a Trevor Project sponsor, donor, and volunteer crisis counselor. I'm excited to write to you, a fellow member of Trevor’s community, during LGBTQ History Month.

I grew up when homosexuality was considered a psychiatric disorder, and you could be arrested for congregating with other men. As a young person, I had no allies — no one who would listen to me talk about my feelings without judgment. Had Trevor existed then, I'm sure my youth would've been a happier time of my life.

I’m honored to be a supportive adult for the many LGBTQ young people I communicate with during my shifts as a crisis counselor — to give what I didn’t have when I was struggling. I also know that my financial support helps ensure that Trevor can provide free, secure, 24/7/365 suicide prevention and crisis intervention services. Today, I ask you to please deepen your commitment to ending LGBTQ youth suicide by making your first gift to Trevor. 

Together with Trevor and its partners, we’ll build a more loving and less hostile world for LGBTQ young people — one in which they can envision their own bright futures.

I remember the history of our movement, the history of our people, and the progress that we’ve made over the last few decades. And my message for all of us (LGBTQ people and our allies) is: let's not repeat the past. Let’s continue on our journey to finding the happiness and love we all deserve and to make sure that every LGBTQ young person can feel safe and affirmed to live as their authentic selves. Please make your first gift to Trevor today.

Very truly yours,

Dennis
