We all could use a little more love in our lives, right? This one of kind shirt, designed by Lisa Congdon- a queer artist, joy monger, author, and road and gravel cyclist- will help fund the efforts of Bloom House Youth Services, an Emporia, KS, 501(c)3 non-profit foundation dedicated to providing safe spaces for everyone. Stand with us and Lisa in support of youth in need and in particularl, the LGBTQ+ youth community who make up 40% of the total of runaway and homeless youth while only making up between 7-9% of the general population. Transgender youth in particular are at risk as they are 120% more likely to becoming homeless than their cisgender peers. At Bloom House, ALL YOUTH ARE WELCOME and LOVE IS HERE TO STAY. By buying one of these amazing shirts, you know that for each shirt, tanktop, hoodie, or sweatshirt purchased, Bloom House will receive $15, that's pretty cool! Feeling generous? Donate more and still get this one of a kind shirt, you can only get here!

"Earlier this year my friend Yuri Hauswald asked if I would design a tee shirt to raise funds for one of his favorite organizations @bloomhouseks ? and this was an immediate no-brainer YES for me. Bloom House Youth Services is a 501c3 organization located in Emporia, Kansas. Bloom House lives and breaths acceptance and inclusion for vulnerable, at risk, and homeless youth. They offer shelter and services to homeless and runaway youth under 18 years old, and are a loving haven for LGBTQ+ youth in the area who are no longer able to SAFELY live at home. They offer trauma-informed art therapy and case management services, and fiduciary services and life skills education and are open 24/7 and staffed by employees, volunteers, and interns. Please help us raise money for Bloom House by purchasing a tee shirt with this design!" - Lisa Congdon
