🌟 Support Our Welcome Kits Initiative for Trans and Gender-Nonconforming Individuals! 🌟

Hello Layers of Change community!

We have a new initiative aimed at providing essential support and comfort to the residents of The Dandelion Hive, a recovery home for trans and gender-nonconforming individuals. As part of our ongoing commitment to creating safe and affirming spaces, we are assembling Welcome Kits to assist those beginning their recovery journey.

What Are Welcome Kits?

Our Welcome Kits are thoughtfully designed packages containing a variety of items to help new residents feel comfortable and supported as they transition into their new environment. Each kit will include:

• Gender-affirming personal care items

• New pillows

• Small queer plushies

• Journals for reflection

• Stress-relieving fidget toys

• Water bottles

• Towels

• Unused makeup

• Razors

Our Goal

We aim to create 25 Welcome Kits, and we need your help to achieve this goal. All donations are tax-deductible, and we welcome any items that contribute to the comfort and wellbeing of our residents.

How You Can Help

1. Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: Every contribution brings us closer to our goal. Monetary donations will be used to purchase the necessary items for the kits. You can donate here.

2. Donate Goods: If you are a creative or maker, we invite you to donate your goods. Items such as small plushies, journals, and other comfort items are highly appreciated. If you would like to donate something not listed, we would love to hear from you.

3. Spread the Word: Share our initiative with your friends, family, and networks. The more people we reach, the more support we can gather for this important cause.
