March and Memorial for Damien Lopez

This GoFundMe is to raise funds to pay for a memorial bench in honor of Damien Lopez, a local trans youth who tragically lost their life to suicide in March of 2021. In addition the funds will assist the family with costs associated with a memorial march in Bloomfield, NJ. On Oct. 22, 2022 we will be hosting a MARCH TO PROTECT TRANS YOUTH. The march will travel through downtown Bloomfield and end at the Bloomfield Public Library. The memorial tribute bench will be placed in the Library courtyard. Bloomfield Pride LGBTQ Community of Bloomfield New Jersey will match the first $150 of donations. All of our LGBTQ+ youth are vulnerable in the current climate of political and social polarization. We feel lucky to live in a community where diversity is celebrated. Any donation amount will help make an impact. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to Damien's family and the general community of Bloomfield, NJ.
