Good Will Toward All

Today I would like to highlight a couple of good causes. There are many others out there worldwide to local. I want to mention these though. They have struck a chord in me and I hope they will you.

My first cause is New Alternatives. I'll let Irene Monroe tell you more about it from the article I first read. The link to the site will be after.

The other cause is Hike for Equality. Please read about their mission and support equality.

Love is Never Wrong

  1. Our area doesn't have a youth shelter, of any kind. Since I have lately joined Pflag that is something I plan to ask. Is there any safety net at all for thrown away LGBT kids in our area.

    Thank you for all of your hard work

  2. Biki There are only two LGBT centers listed for all of Alaska. Identity is one and another is in Matsu. Here is the Matsu link. I will add it to Gay Alaska II as well. I hope this helps.

    The plight of many of our youth and adults is very sad. I think more resources need to be distributed to helping them. To many of us end up homeless or in need simply because of who we are.

    If you can make a difference yourself. Organization always begins with one person or a group striving to make a change.
