March 31st is Trans Day of Visibility, a day created to celebrate trans people, to raise awareness about the challenges they experience, and to advocate for equality. RECLAIM is committed to uplifting and honoring the trans youth we serve. Our therapists create space for youth to explore and develop their identity, and we support them in building resilience against the harassment and discrimination they may face at home, in school, at work, or in their community.

Please donate to RECLAIM in honor of Trans Day of Visibility. Your gift sends the message that you see and celebrate trans youth, and it lets them know you stand in solidarity for the hope of a better world. You can donate with the enclosed envelope or online at www.reclaim.care/TDOV.
