Community Voices
Restoring hope through stability
When everything seemed to be falling apart, the rental assistance from Office Lewis gave Camille a roof over her head and a sense of inner peace. After months of uncertainty, she was able to rebuild her life in a safe and welcoming space. Now, she's committed to helping other LGBTQIA+ youth find that same security.
Mental health, a priority for everyone
The Liberté program allowed Alex to see an inclusive psychologist after years of loneliness and rejection. This financial support offered him much more than treatment: a new outlook on himself and life. Access to mental health for LGBTQIA+ people saves lives every day.
Turning a dream into a business
Thanks to the Gold Grant, Karim was able to launch his small, inclusive sustainable fashion business. His workshop now employs three young people from the LGBTQIA+ community and promotes creativity and self-respect. Every project supported by the Lewis Office is a collective victory.
