As many of you have likely heard about the mass shooting at Pulse a well known gay club in Orlando, Florida. At last count it was 52 dead, another 50 wounded.
My heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones, and prayers for those who were killed.
This act of terror and hate against the LGBTQ community hits home for Sylum as this series even though fictional is part of the LGBTQ Community.
There are many who would like to help but not sure how.
There is a Go Fund Me Page set up to help the victims of the shooting – Go Here
Give Blood. If in Orlando, look for places to go to. For those outside the area, check with the Red Cross for more information.
Give to other LGBTQ Charities and Foundations. One I can vouch for is the LGBT Center in LA.
If you have other charities (US and/or International) that would be good – please reply we’ll add them to the list.
As always we’ll stand strong.
Love conquers Hate.
This is why I love this community. We are all one big family reaching out and supporting people who will be hurting bad right now.
