Last call for donations for an advent calendar raffle entry is 11:59pm PST tonight!

Our fandom also introduced me to our second featured charity, Rainbow Railroad. They also have a four-star rating on Charity Navigator and have helped over 40k people in the LGBTQI+ community with cash assistance and relocation to safer areas.

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far!

SAGE assists with housing and health care for LGBTQ+ elders. They also have programs to create community when people are at an age where they may have no family and few friends, which can feel worse during the holidays. I really appreciate everyone who has donated to them so far!

When I first formed the idea for the calendar fundraiser, I knew my first charity would be SAGE. Our fandom introduced me to their work through other fundraisers, and their direct support and longevity really impressed me. They also have a 4-star rating (98%) on Charity Navigator.
