** Hey
Friend,
------------------------------------------------------------

When Kristen’s son Kaiden told her he was transgender, “I was angry ... I didn't understand,” she said.

Although it was “a rough experience sometimes,” Kristen realized why she wanted to embrace her son: “If Kaiden was going to be happy and at peace” she knew it was important to “accept it and continue to love my child.”

I wish every LGBTQ young person had a parent, guardian, or other accepting adult in their life. But for the many who don’t, The Trevor Project’s crisis counselors listen with compassion and communicate with support — 24/7/365.

To be there for the LGBTQ young people who contact Trevor every day, we need you — and your generous, loving support. So please make your gift — whatever amount is right for you. ([link removed])

Kristen’s religion taught her to believe that “men are supposed to be men. Women are supposed to be women.” Then one day Kristen went to her sister for advice on how to react to Kaiden’s transition. “What am I supposed to do?” Kristen asked. She continued: “And my sister looked directly in my eyes and said, ‘LOVE.’”

LGBTQ young people are more than 4X more likely to attempt suicide than their cisgender and straight peers. They aren’t inherently prone to suicide risk, but the stigma, bullying, and discrimination they can face make them more vulnerable.

But acceptance from at least one adult can decrease the risk of an LGBTQ young person attempting suicide by 40%. So, affirmation and support are life-saving gifts that you can help Trevor provide. Please donate with love today. ([link removed])

All of us at Trevor are so grateful for your commitment and support!
