Thank you for your 2018 contribution!
I have a few more months left to get to my $5000 in a year goal, but 2018 has come to an end, as did Give to the Max Day on November 15.
Thank you to everyone who donated, but for the single highest day of giving on my fundraiser for RECLAIM ($1510), a special thanks to: Ross, Irene, Kerry, David, Denise, Amy, Susan W., Susan J., Laura, Gretchen, Katherine, Noah, Sara, Andrea, and RECLAIM's Executive Director, Dr. Felicia Washington Sy.
Also, thank you to those who made matching grant challenges in 2018: Jeff Klein and Pat Ditlevson.
My name is Addy Free and I'm on the board of an organization providing critical mental health services for LGBT young people, often left behind by schools, communities and even families.
As many of us know, LGBTQ youth, and transgender youth in particular, are under attack due to increasing entrenchment of intolerance and bigotry. RECLAIM resists this atmosphere by ensuring that young queer and trans people and their families get the mental health support they need. Serving 90% transgender youth, RECLAIM works to provide youth and families quality mental health care regardless of their ability to pay.
Every day, young people at RECLAIM do the hard work of healing and growing. The youth are fighting to move beyond survival, to live, to change, to thrive. They are fighting to be free. Healing is resistance!
I would like to ask you to make a charitable contribution to RECLAIM that will be directed to be a stepping stone in developing and establishing a more robust cash reserve for the organization, helping to better safeguard its programs against the unexpected (or a government hostile toward transgender people) and ensuring that its critical services, often neglected elsewhere, are available to our young people.
Thank you so much for your consideration! All donations are tax-deductible.
