Gifts?

We have everything we need right here in each other <3

Just kidding! But really, in lieu of gifts, please consider donating a little money to one of these non-profits that mean a lot to us.

Indiana Youth Group - This local group in Indiana provides basic needs, healthcare, and community for LGBT folks in Indiana. My (Ariel’s) mom’s large family is from Indy and one of my cousins volunteers with this group. A lot of places that should be safe (home, school, the bus stop, the doctor’s office, etc.) are hostile or even deadly for LGBT youth right now. At the very least, community orgs like IYG can provide a safe space for people who are otherwise unsafe. At their best, they can be the one place a young person to discover things like hope, friends, and passion that make life worth living. Help us protect the kiddos and the dolls.

Rape Hurts Foundation - I (Ariel) met Hellen, the founder of Rape Hurts, in 2022 when a job sent me to Uganda to film a small doc about her. She’s an actual real life superhero. She took a horrible thing that happened to her at 11 years old and has committed her life to helping others. The work that she and her organization have accomplished with such small resources is astounding, and I know they could do so much with more. Here’s the small film we made.
