** Hi
Friend of Trevor,
------------------------------------------------------------
Today — Giving Tuesday — is one of The Trevor Project’s most significant opportunities to raise funds that ensure we can be there for LGBTQ young people in crisis — every single one.
That’s why I’m writing personally to ask you to make a gift. A total of $100,000 in matching funds from our proud partner, H&M*, will instantly double your generosity — but only TODAY, so please don’t delay. ([link removed]-*\|CAMPAIGN_UID\|*)
Before becoming Trevor’s CEO & Executive Director, I was a volunteer crisis counselor. I still take shifts to this day.

I remember a call from a young man who’d just been in a fight with his parents. They didn’t accept him for being gay. He told me he was planning to kill himself that night with one of the dozens of guns his father kept in their house.
“What’s the point of sticking around,” he asked,
“if even my own parents don’t accept me?”
I told him what I’ve told so many over the years: There may be people who don’t accept you for who you are. But there are many who not only accept you, but celebrate you — and I am one of those people.
We know supportive messages like these can save lives: When an LGBTQ young person has at least one accepting adult in their life, the risk of suicide plummets by 40%.

Trevor estimates that every year in the U.S., more than 1.8 million LGBTQ young people seriously consider taking their lives. Our goal is to be there for every single one of them. Your gift today will support our efforts to be a phone call, text, or chat away — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. ([link removed]-*\|CAMPAIGN_UID\|*)
Together, we will show LGBTQ children, teens, and young adults that they are accepted — and celebrated — for who they are. That’s the power of your generosity, so please make your best gift today. ([link removed]-*\|CAMPAIGN_UID\|*)
Gratefully,
