Support the LGBTQIA Emergency Fund of North MS

We are educators and advocates who are dedicated to creating inclusive spaces and helping individuals in need. Over the years, we have heard a number of stories about LGBTQ+ youth and young adults who have suffered housing and food insecurity after coming out, and who have struggled to find counseling and appropriate medical care. We decided to establish a fund to try and help during such crises, instead of hearing about these situations after the fact.

We look forward to the day when an LGBTQ+ Emergency Fund is no longer necessary and all young people have the resources, support, and safety they need.

The Emergency Fund will provide short-term emergency help for LGBTQ+ youth and young adults in North Mississippi who find themselves in urgent need of housing, food, and medical resources. It will also help to connect LGBTQ+ youth and young adults with existing resources in the community.
