Every year, I fundraise in May and June for The Ali Forney Center, an agency in New York dedicated to helping LGBTQ homeless youth. It is the largest agency of its kind. It has grown from a six-bed sanctuary in a church basement to assisting 1,400+ youth each year and providing 70,000+ meals annually. Founded by Carl Siciliano in honor of Ali Forney, a gender-nonconforming teen who fled their home at 13 and ultimately ended up homeless by the age of 15. Ali advocated for the safety of homeless LGBTQ youth and was tragically murdered in Harlem in 1997.

100$ of proceeds will be donated to the AFC at the end of June!
