I wish there was a group like Somos Familia in NYC when I came out. Help me,help them on GIVEOUTDAY!

$175

raised by 5 people

$100 goal

Somos Familia is a community-based organization founded 13 years ago by two moms who wanted to make the world safer and more accepting of our Latinx Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) youth and their families.


I've been a part of it for almost 4 years now. Not having family here in the Bay Area, finding this organization has been instrumental in keeping me sane. I've volunteered when I could, and seeing how loving the families are and how hard they work to dismantle their preconceived notions about LGBTQ+ folks for the love of their children who have come out has been inspiring. I wish there was something like this in NYC when I was younger. Also, when my mom is here, she has opened up more and more about her side of the story. How she saw things when I came out. That wouldn't have happened without Somos Familia. I hope you can help me support this organization either as someone who is LGBTQ+ or as an ally to the LGBTQ+ community.


This year 50% of the funds raised on Give Out Day will go to a COVID-19 relief fund, which provides financial assistance to people affected by the pandemic. The other 50% will be used to continue to do the lifesaving work of supporting, educating, and building leadership in LGBTQ+ Latinxs and their families.
