Dear Friends and Allies,

As we look ahead, we see increasing threats to the safety, rights, and dignity of our Queer, Trans, and Non-Binary community members. The upcoming administration’s rhetoric and policies have already signaled attacks on LGBTQIA+ rights, making our work at Hidden Water more critical than ever. For Queer and Trans folks who’ve experienced sexual harm, our safe spaces are not just necessary—they are life-saving.

At Hidden Water, we provide confidential, affirming spaces where Queer, Trans, and QTBIPOC individuals can heal, grow, and connect without fear of judgment or harm. In a time when policies seek to silence and endanger our community, our mission to support healing from child sexual abuse and prevent further harm remains unwavering. Every circle we hold is a testament to the resilience of Queer and Trans survivors who are reclaiming their stories and building safe, supportive spaces for themselves and their families.

With threats of defunding and restrictions on LGBTQIA+ protections, we rely entirely on our community to keep these spaces open and accessible. Every dollar you contribute helps us resist this tide of discrimination by ensuring that our Queer and Trans family members can access healing spaces—free of charge, without barriers, and led by those who share in their experiences and struggles.

Now more than ever, your support is a powerful statement of solidarity with the Queer and Trans community. By standing with us, you’re not just donating; you’re helping create a world where every child, every teen, and every adult can feel safe being exactly who they are.

Please join us in strengthening Hidden Water’s foundation to meet the challenges ahead.

Together, we can ensure that Queer and Trans survivors have a place to heal and a community to rely on, no matter what comes.

With unwavering gratitude and resolve,

Team QT
