Dear Friend,

We want every LGBTQ+ young person to have someone to turn to in a moment of crisis.

The Trevor Project's research shows that LGBTQ+ young people with at least one accepting adult in their life report significantly lower rates of attempting suicide — in most instances by 40%.

For many LGBTQ+ youth, that one person is a Trevor crisis counselor. They can always count on us because we can count on you. Friend, will you be the one to support LGBTQ+ young people today?

After analyzing the full day of post-election conversations across our Crisis Services team, we saw an overall volume increase of over 700% on November 6, compared to weeks prior. Election-related content in conversations have increased by nearly 5,200% compared to averages leading up to election day. Friend, your support is needed now more than ever.

You may not communicate with the LGBTQ+ young people who reach out to Trevor directly, but you can be the one to help ensure that one of our trained crisis counselors is at the other end of the call, chat, or text — providing affirmation, hope, and support.

I know you are determined — like all of us at Trevor — to build an LGBTQ+-affirming world where young people never reach a crisis point because they always have family, friends, and communities that uplift them. Please be the one for LGBTQ+ young people today. With your $1-for-$1 matched gift, you’ll help us get closer to that world.

In this together,

Joanne Meredith
