“Regardless of how people might treat you, there is a community out there that you will find, who will love and celebrate you!”

Hi, I'm Kaysey and I'm a Contributing Writer for BuzzFeed Canada.

"As the organization that connects Canadians to more than 85,000 charities nationwide, CanadaHelps has a unique view into what’s happening, and their data shows that 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations have lost nearly a third of their donors in recent years. That’s incredibly concerning because behind those numbers are real people and real services."

Across Canada, there are incredible organizations doing vital, and in many cases lifesaving, work to support 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. Whether it’s providing crisis support, mental health services, advocacy, or safe spaces, these organizations rely on community support to continue their work. Even a small donation can make a meaningful difference. When enough people contribute what they can, it helps ensure these organizations have the resources they need to keep showing up for the people who depend on them."

"We’re seeing many 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations struggling with declining donations and funding, and that affects everything from advocacy and education to crisis support and community programs. These organizations are doing essential work, and I think it’s important that we continue to show up for them."
