Looking to create a list of #Minnesotan #charities that are helping #Trans people find #refuge in our great state!

I know I could just #GoogleIt but I'd like to hear Mastodon's recommendations!

Please #Boost for visibility!
Thank you for your time!

Here you see Janette, the visionary, looking down at her phone. She has to be an expert in logistics as part of her job. Materials here, volunteers there, partners on call.

From her location she even supports kids in this neighborhood who need it. When unhoused people come by, she has something for them as well.

She started this charity after she "retired." A bundle of energy, she is driven by her work, not exhausted by it. A key neighborhood resource.

Friday, I helped set up a prom organized for a young adults with intellectual and developmental exceptionalities. We set up elegant tables, a food area, section for parents/guardians and loaded gift bags.

There will be a limo that brings prom-goers to a red carpeted entrance area with a crowd applauding. They will get their photo taken with crowns because they will all be prom kings and queens.

An afternoon well spent. I don't do enough of this.

#Thread on #selfworth & making a difference: Woke up with the firm realization that I am worthless, living a meaningless life. I used to think that had contributed to society bc I co-founded a "#npo" that collected educational supplies for ethnic #Myanmar refugee camps, but that was some time ago now & I haven't done anything as meaningful since. For years I would give what extra money I had to various #charities, like #refugee assistance, mosquito nets in #Africa, #capacitybuilding, etc, 1/
