The Salvation Army Provides Hope without Discrimination

Feb 29, 2016 | by Don Felice

Each year, thanks to generous donations, The Salvation Army serves nearly 30 million Americans – or one person every second – from a variety of backgrounds. People who come to us for assistance will be served according to their need and our capacity to help – regardless of race, gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation. 

Many people – including those in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community – support us with time and financial resources because of a common cause and commitment: To serve people in need.

Transgender individuals are four times more likely to live in poverty than the general population, with 25% reporting being the victim of a bias-driven assault. The numbers go up for transgender women and transgender people of color. Dooley has been neglected and mistreated a great deal in her life and sums it up by stating, “I’ve been through Hell. Terrible Hell.” Watch Dooley’s story of discovery as she begins to understand exactly how much Jesus loves and accepts her in this powerful short documentary.
