Need some ideas? We’ve got you: 💸 5 friends. $5 each. That’s $25 right there. 💬 Hit the group chat. Your friends have supported you through worse. They can handle one fundraising link. 😂 📞 Call your mother. Or your aunt. Your cousins. Your grandparents. You know who has the soft spot for you. Ask them to donate! 📄 Print some flyers. Put that QR code somewhere people actually look. Your office. Your fridge. Your neighborhood bulletin board. Get creative. 🐶 Put a sign on your dog. Because honestly, who’s saying no to a cute dog asking them to support LGBTQ+ youth? And remember, every donation helps move Team LnFY closer to our goal, and donations to our team are being matched 100% by AHF. ❤️ So send the text. Post the link. Ask your people. Let’s see what Team LnFY can do in this final week. 🏳️‍🌈 📍 AIDS Walk Atlanta | September 26 🔗 Join Team LnFY or donate through the link in our bio.

At LnFY, we want houses to become homes. These houses give LGBTQ+ youth a stable place to live while they work toward their next steps. Having our case managers based in the homes also means they have more flexibility to spend time with youth, help with day to day needs, and provide support when it’s needed. And so much of what makes these spaces feel like home has come from our community. Donations have helped furnish the houses, create comfortable shared spaces, and turn them into places where young people can actually live and feel at home. Want to be part of what’s next? Donate, volunteer, or shop the Lost-n-Found Youth Thrift Store. Every bit helps. Visit our link in bio to learn more. #LostnFoundYouth #LGBTQYouth #YouthHousing

REMINDER! We are giving away a $200 dollar gift card to the LnFY Thrift Store! Join Team LnFY for AIDS Walk Atlanta, make a minimum $25 donation, and you’ll be entered into the giveaway! The gift card is great. But what matters most is showing up. We’re walking together, and we want you there. 💛 AIDS Walk Atlanta brings our community together to raise awareness, support people living with HIV, remember those we’ve lost, and help fund the organizations doing this work year-round. For us, it’s about community. It’s about showing up for each other. And it’s about making sure young people, especially LGBTQ+ youth, have people in their corner. So come walk with us. Bring your good walking shoes. Bring your friends. Bring your family. 🌈 📅 Saturday, September 26 📍 Piedmont Park 💛 Join Team LnFY + make a $25 minimum donation in LnFY’s name to be entered Let’s fill the park with Team LnFY. And if you happen to win $200 to spend at the thrift store? We won’t complain.

Sometimes, support looks like this. Here, two of our youth are working together on job applications. One of those everyday moments that says a lot about what community can look like. At LnFY, we spend a lot of time with our youth building skills, preparing for employment, and navigating the challenges that come with transitioning into adulthood. But in the in-between moments, something just as important happens: our youth show up for each other. Every young person who walks through our doors brings their own background, experiences, and strengths. When those experiences come together, you see the power of connection and why creating spaces where LGBTQ+ youth can support one another matters so much. These are the moments we’re grateful to be a part of. And they’re moments we get to share because of your support. 💛

Okay, but what’s better than finding a thrifted piece that you actually want to take home? 👀 Our friend here knows what he likes, cool furniture, clothes that fit, and those unexpected finds. That’s what makes thrifting at LnFY so fun. You never know what you’ll find, and every purchase helps support LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness in Atlanta. 💛 Come see what you can find. 📍 2585 Chantilly Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30324

Acceptance isn't just a nice thing to have. It can make a real difference. LGBTQ+ youth in accepting communities report suicide attempts at one-third the rate of those in unaccepting communities. Every young person deserves to feel safe, supported, and accepted for who they are. That’s why safe spaces, affirming adults, and community matter so much. At LnFY, we’re committed to creating that kind of community for LGBTQ+ youth. 💛

Last year, our incredible supporter helped rally their community and became one of Lost-n-Found Youth’s top fundraisers at AIDS Walk Atlanta. 💛 We are so grateful for not just him, but all the people who have continued to show up for LnFY. Every donation makes an impact. When friends, family, coworkers, and communities come together, amazing work gets to happen. Thank you all for the support , and this year, we’re inviting you to join the movement. 📅 September 26 📍 Piedmont Park 🌈 AIDS WALK Atlanta Will you walk with us? Support LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness in Atlanta. #AIDSWalkAtlanta #LostnFoundYouth

The South is at the center of the HIV conversation ❤️ The South accounts for more than 52% of new HIV diagnoses in the U.S., despite representing about 38% of the country’s population. For LnFY and LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness, access to healthcare, HIV prevention, testing, and supportive resources can be especially important. This Southern HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, LnFY is raising awareness and helping create a community where young people can access the care, support, and safe spaces they deserve. Because ending HIV in the South starts with making sure every young person has a place to turn. 🏳️‍🌈 #SouthernHIVAIDSAwarenessDay #HIVPrevention #HIVTesting #HIVCare #LGBTQYouth #YouthHomelessness #LostnfoundYouth

Every opportunity LnFY has to educate, connect, and empower our youth are the moments we strive for. 💛 Through hands-on learning and working together, the youth in our program build collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills that can make an impact today and well into their future. A huge thank you to Ms. Joan and all of our volunteers for providing lunch, not just for our youth, but for our team and thrift store crew, too. It’s days like these where you can really feel the impact of community. 🏳️‍🌈 Want to help LnFY end LGBTQ+ youth homelessness in Atlanta?
