Hi there! It's Luka here, Co-Founder at SQSH, the St. Louis Queer+ Support Helpline. SQSH has felt like my baby for the first two years of the organization's existence. Now in its third year, SQSH is no longer my baby, but the baby of our 60+ volunteers and 3 staff members. It is my dream to see SQSH thrive alongside the St. Louis LGBTQIA+ community, so that I can share my life's work with other queer St. Louisans. 

SQSH is one of the only queer-led local organizations providing identity-affirming mental health support, education, and advocacy for the St. Louis LGBTQIA+ community. With your help as a SQSH Star Monthly Donor, we would be able to pay our staff members (including myself) a stable living wage, while continuing to provide lifesaving services everyday. 

Please help to sustain the resource that I've created for our community – a resource that I wish I had as a closeted queer youth!
