Growing up, I witnessed firsthand how powerful community can be — and how painful it is when people are excluded simply for being who they are. Whether it was friends, family, or even my own experiences navigating identity, I saw how the LGBTQ+ community often faces challenges that many take for granted: lack of support, discrimination, and limited access to safe spaces.
Over the years, I’ve come to believe that visibility, education, and support save lives. Pride is more than just a celebration; it’s a reminder that love is love, and that everyone deserves to feel seen, valued, and safe.
This fundraiser isn’t just about raising money — it’s about raising hope. Every dollar helps create safer spaces, provide mental health resources, fund educational programs, and uplift voices that too often go unheard. Together, we can make sure that no one ever has to feel like they’re alone simply for being themselves.
I’m committed to being part of that change. Whether you’re a member of the LGBTQ+ community or an ally, your support can directly impact lives. Let’s show what’s possible when love and acceptance lead the way.
