Hi Friend of Trevor,

This year at The Trevor Project, we’re celebrating Pride by sharing “Stories of Pride” from LGBTQ young people.

We know that pride and self-acceptance are a journey. Thanks to caring people like you, no matter where someone is on that journey — in their story — we support them. We’re here 24/7/365 — listening with compassion and communicating with empathy.

To be here for LGBTQ youth facing a moment of crisis, Trevor depends on you, so please make your gift today. Thanks to $100,000 in matching funds from our proud partners Walgreens and Puma, every $1 you donate becomes $2.*

For LGBTQ young people who don’t have a supportive community, Trevor’s work is especially crucial during Pride. To some, it can feel like the whole world is celebrating while they struggle. That’s why historically the number of young people reaching out to us increases every June.

With the wave of anti-LGBTQ bills sweeping through state legislatures and the ongoing mental health challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic has created, we expect that LGBTQ young people will need our support more than any other Pride season. But with your instantly doubled gift, our trained crisis counselors will only be a call, text, or chat away for LGBTQ young people during Pride — and every day of the year.

When we asked Bowie, who grew up in the midwest, what they think a warm, welcoming, LGBTQ-affirming world would look like, they said:

“Like a painting. It starts out white. But think about how beautiful it becomes once you splash color on that. The end product is just gorgeous.”

Let’s do the work to create that world, Friend.  Please make your gift right now when it will be 2X as powerful.

With pride and gratitude,

Amit Paley

P.S. We’ll be sharing more stories from LGBTQ young people like Bowie all month long. Please support them on their journeys by making a 2X-matched gift today.

*Until Friday, June 3, 2022, all gifts online up to $100,000 will be matched by Walgreens, and Puma 1:1
