We’re here to help the LGBTQ+ community.
NOT Profit off of it…
Our team of passionate LGBTQ+ advocates have devoted their talents and time to build Pride Pocket in the hopes of giving back to the community. Too often, these days, companies claim to be allies in order to make a pretty penny. We promise to always do everything we can to make a difference in the lives of all LGBTQ+ individuals. What that means right now, is that we are all volunteering our time and effort to build this for you.
We’re just like you.
The Pride Pocket team is made up entirely of LGBTQ+ individuals. We all have faced struggles emotionally, financially, and navigating life as a member of the community. Our goal is to ensure that future generations not only have the information they need to better their lives, but also have a means of doing something about it.
Our two founders were discussing how much they wish they could be moms but how little they knew about their options. Upon researching the various methods that same-sex couples use to conceive, they realized very quickly how much of a challenge it would be. Choosing the right path was only the start. Realistically, conceiving, adopting, using a surrogate would all cost upwards for $40,000. And that is no guarantee that they would be successful.
As they discussed further, it just seemed so simple. In times of need, friends and family want nothing more than to help. If only there was a platform to learn about LGBTQ+ related topics and raise funds. Then, your loved ones would know that they were making a positive difference in your life by supporting your cause financially or emotionally.
While it started out as a family planning platform, the needs of the community quickly trickled in.
Transitioning, obtaining legal representation, coming out, and so many other life-altering scenarios came to mind.
