I'm here, I'm queer, and I really need to sleep

🌈 I, PRIDE — Pride Month Fundraiser

Pride Month has begun, and we're launching I, PRIDE, a fundraiser supporting LGBTQ+ youth in need.

📅 Fundraiser runs from now until June 30

Why We're Fundraising

This fundraiser supports DDing Dong LGBTQ Youth Support Center, a South Korea-based organization that protects and empowers LGBTQ+ teens facing crisis situations. It provides immediate and long-term support for queer youth experiencing homelessness, family rejection, discrimination, or mental health crises, helping them regain safety, stability, and self-esteem.

Its mission is to create a safe environment where LGBTQ+ youth can survive crisis situations and gradually move toward independent living with dignity and support.
