I am raising funds to help me buy and reopen Stonewall and Vogue Lounge in the Lehigh Valley so our LGBTQIA2S+ community can have a safe space again. When Stonewall closed, we all felt lost and unsure of what the future meant for us in the Lehigh Valley. Then, when Vogue reopened, it gave us a space, but it wasn't welcomed by all. We now lost that safe space again, and it's the last within a 20-mile radius. It leaves so many of us without a welcoming place to gather, connect, and simply be ourselves. That loss has been deeply felt, and it is what pushed me to step up and try to bring this space back. My goal is not only to reopen Stonewall and Vogue Lounge, but also to make it handicap accessible so it can be more inclusive and welcoming to everyone who needs it.

Your support will help me with the down payment, purchasing the building and liquor license, making the repairs the building needs, and covering startup costs during the first month or two of operations while repairs are completed, products are bought, and staff is paid. Any help matters. If you are able to donate, I would be incredibly grateful. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and helping spread the word in any way you can. I know times are hard for many people, but I truly believe that if everyone helps however they are able, we can make this process easier and get this much-needed safe space back open for the Lehigh Valley community.
