Wrapping up 2023, I wanted to extend a heartfelt thanks for ongoing support in sharing and celebrating the LGBTQIA+ stories at I’m From Driftwood.
We've continued publishing a new story every week, totaling an incredible 52 professionally-produced, first-person Video Stories this year. The stories on I'm From Driftwood's YouTube channel alone have amassed over 38.8 million views.
In addition to our weekly stories, we've had the privilege of showcasing the storytellers themselves at four Storyteller Spotlights this year – two at the Stonewall Inn in New York City and two in Austin, TX. These live events have allowed us to connect with our community in a more personal way, bridging the gap between digital storytelling and real-world connections.
As of today, we are over 50% of our $25,000 year-end goal. Your contributions have helped us get this far, but we need your help to cross the finish line. Donate now; no amount is too small, and every dollar takes us closer to our goal.
With donors' help, we'll continue making a positive impact in the lives of LGBTQIA+ individuals everywhere, from the smallest towns to the biggest cities across the world.
Thank you for being part of the I'm From Driftwood family. I can't wait to show you what we have in store for 2024.
