Hey there—

We’re about to send the email below to everyone who donated to The Trevor Project for Giving Tuesday. Each made the compassionate decision to be the one to make ending LGBTQ+ youth suicide their priority on this global day of generosity. Because I know you care about the health and well-being of LGBTQ+ young people, I wanted to provide another opportunity for you to make a gift. Just click this link.

Creating a more welcoming, inclusive world for LGBTQ+ young people will take all of us, but change starts with one person. So, please be the one to take loving, life-saving action today by donating your best gift.

In community and with thanks,
—Duyen

Hi Friend of Trevor,

Our community showed up for LGBTQ+ young people in a BIG WAY for Giving Tuesday. It’s inspiring! Your generosity, gifts from your fellow donors, and $150,000 in matching funds from our proud partner lululemon will fuel Trevor’s work in the months ahead.

We include the following statistic in many of the emails we send because it’s just that powerful: affirmation can be life-saving. When LGBTQ+ young people report feeling accepted by just one adult, their odds of attempting suicide are significantly lower. In many instances, by more than 40%.

A key component of Trevor’s mission is ensuring there are allies wherever LGBTQ+ young people need support — their homes, schools, doctor’s offices, local, state, and national legislatures, other government agencies, and wider communities.

And that’s where you come in, friend!  All of us have the power to be the one — a compassionate adult who embraces an LGBTQ+ young person as their authentic self.

And, if and when it’s safe for you to do so, here are other ways you can let the young people in your community know you support them:

For all you do to affirm and protect young LGBTQ+ lives, you have my deepest gratitude.

Warmly,

Amanda Ryan-Smith
