Hey qoob, I set up a fundraiser for LGBTQ youth in NYC (high risk & homeless teens) if you're able to give, shoot me an email and I'll fwd you the fundraiser link.
Why an organization around LGBTQ youth you might be asking? LGB youth seriously contemplate suicide at almost three times the rate of heterosexual youth, and it's 35–50% for trans teens that attempt. This organization serves as a safe haven for youth and is helping to reverse the the hardships youth face, here. It's not easy, I can attest to that.
I've been a member of QBN for so long I remember posting from my ex-girlfriends dorm at Barnard 17 yrs ago; all that to say I haven't seen many fundraisers here, except for 1 or 2. So I'm hoping this is well received.
I'd be humbled to pieces if anyone here joined me in charging an organization that mentors young folks here in this city.
I'll also share with you a piece of my story if you care to hear.
OK, I've busted apart our blog ;)
...back to your usual programming.xo,
