These are real people we are currently helping. Every donated cent helps make sure that these people are given the best possible chance to succeed in their new lives here in the PNW. This is one of the most accepting places on the planet, let's show these people that they have a home here.

"To escape my state and a heavily restrictive family, not just in terms of LGBTQ+ things. I'd like to work towards a future, get work, and eventually help myself and others."

Here are some anonymized quotes from people about why they need to flee "To get out of the place I've been trapped for over a decade, being emotionally manipulated while being denied chances to pursue who I am."

1. So I started Prozac about a month ago, which was the first antidepressant that has actually worked for me. Made me realize my parents were neglecting me, and I got in an argument w/ them about their political beliefs.
