Support JQY, Get Magical Monsters from RachFried

Something you might not know about me is that I'm a monster maker and enthusiast. This Giving Tuesday,  I will create/add a personalized monster to a digital photo for each person who donates over $72  (thats four times chai, baby!) to my campaign. For anyone who donates over $180, I'll write one name or word out of monsters for you.

This could be a great holiday gift for a loved one - you'll get it digitally but can print it yourself for an in-person surprise. Making monsters and magic for JQY at one time? Lez do this!

...NOW BACK TO JQY!

This Giving Tuesday, I'm raising critical funds for JQY, an organization that provides life-saving support to LGBTQ Jewish youth from historically non-accepting communities.

Right now, LGBTQ Jewish youth are increasingly vulnerable amidst rising antisemitism and anti-LGBTQ sentiment and legislation, leading them to feel afraid and isolated. They need support immediately. JQY creates an affirming environment where both their queer and Jewish identities are celebrated, and provides essential mental health resources for youth who have nowhere else to turn.

JQY's life-saving work is made possible through targeted support systems: a weekly Drop-in Center provides free mental health care and community connection. A Jewish queer book club gives youth across the country representation they can connect to monthly. Educational programming equips therapists and community leaders with tools to create safer, more compassionate environments at the source. These and countless other touchpoints are lifelines that equip Jewish queer youth to survive and thrive.

This work saves lives. No young person should face their identity alone. Join me in supporting JQY's critical work today.
