Hi Friend,

As the Director of Lifeline, my team and I offer support, compassion, and acceptance to LGBTQ young people in crisis.

Generous folks like you make this work possible, so I hope you’ll give from your heart — as much as you can.

Although many LGBTQ young people call us in need of support, we also hear from those who want to thank us for helping them through a dark moment:

“I called the crisis line, and one of the volunteers talked me down, and I am here because of her. Thank you.”

“Just like to point out that you saved me from suicide four times last year.”

“It’s really hard to live my truth and shine. Thank you so much because you make me feel validated.”

Friend, I love reading these messages because they demonstrate the life-changing — and life-saving — impact of our work. Our research proves it, too: Acceptance from at least one adult can decrease the risk of LGBTQ young people attempting suicide by 40%.

You can show more LGBTQ young people that they are loved and not alone. That’s the power of your generosity so make your best gift today.

Thanks!
