This Holiday Season, choose to give... The Gift of Belonging.

Dear John,

Aging is far from a universal experience – especially for LGBTQI people.  

Meet Sarah

Meet Sarah.  

Sarah (she/her) is an intersex woman in her 70s, and has been struggling to find places to live. She shares how difficult it can be to find information and protections from discrimination against renters, and how it impacts her sense of belonging and safety: 

“When I go out looking for a place to live, I can just imagine the time I’m going to have. [...] It needs to be a situation whereby, yes, this is a senior citizen. She is intersex. Or she is transgender, or she is whatever."

"We need to be assured and really well advised that there are legal means in place to protect this person.”

Through your support, Egale can continue to conduct community-based research, and produce the necessary information and reports needed to fill gaps and improve the lives of 2SLGBTQI people, like Sarah.  

This Holiday Season, please consider supporting Egale’s pillars of work, and giving the greatest gift of all: #TheGiftofBelonging.  

Thanks to the generous support from our friends at The Lawson Foundation, the first $10,000 in donations will be matched!  

Please consider donating today to ensure your donation will be matched and your impact doubled! 

We are so grateful for your support!

Wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy Holidays,  

Your Friends at Egale Canada

Having a Lasting Impact 

Assets, estates, and Wills can be a confusing, sensitive topic.  

However, as proud partners with Will Power, we are raising awareness about the movement to create ethical Wills – where you can pass down your assets and values by supporting the causes you care about, while still taking care of your loved ones.  

When you leave a charitable gift to Egale in your Will, you can continue to have a lasting, significant impact on the lives of 2SLGBTQI communities.
