I was tooling around on FB and am a subscriber to the "Give A Damn" campaign at http://www.wegiveadamn.org and came across an article about some folks that are rehabbing a row home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for LGBTQ youth who are homeless due to family rejection. It's a two bedroom place and is expected to house up to 8 young people between ages 18-21. They are 10% of the way to their goal of $40,000 to fix the inside of the house up to be suitable for use.

The numbers of young LGBTQ folks who are homeless solely because of family rejection is disheartening. These kids are someone's babies….maybe we can be the village to help raise the child. Please pass the word…..
