What your gift makes possible

Published about 12 hours ago • 1 min read

When you donate to the Share the Magic campaign, here’s what your gift makes possible for parents of trans kids:

🌟 Safety: The Parents of Trans Youth Community (PTYC) is as secure as we can make it: double-vetted members, invite-only membership, independent community platform, membership fee, digital security, robust community guidelines, and moderated discussions.

🌟 Connection: PTYC members create authentic relationships with other affirming parents through support groups and other live events, discussion boards available 24/7, and direct messages with other members.

🌟 Learning: Outside experts lead workshops and presentations on everything from neurodiversity to college admissions to medical transition. Knowledge builds confidence!

Our scholarship fund makes it possible for ALL affirming parents of transgender kids and young adults to have access to this important resource!

Supported parents = supported kids.

Please make a donation today and help us continue showing up where it matters most.

We're already at 75% of our goal! If you've already donated to Share the Magic, thank you. If not, please help us get to 100% by donating here.

Thank you!
