Dear Friend,

October brings a new season of opportunity at Sanctuary Palm Springs. For LGBTQ+ young adults aging out of foster care, a safe home and steady support provide the foundation to pursue an education, prepare for a career, and build an independent future.



Your generosity makes this work possible. As we look ahead to a season of community gatherings and giving, we’re grateful to have you alongside us. Thank you for helping our residents move forward with confidence—and for being part of a community that believes in their potential.

Join our incredible group of monthly supporters, the Sanctuary Guardian Angels and pledge your ongoing support to provide a safe home, caring guidance, and essential services—from education and career development to therapy and life skills to LGBTQ+ foster youth.

Creating Stability, One Life at a Time

At Sanctuary Palm Springs, every young person who arrives is seeking something many have never had—a safe place to call home and the support to build a future.

Each resident is provided a private, fully furnished bedroom and access to critical services like therapy, healthcare, education, and career support, giving them a real chance to heal, grow, and succeed.

But this life-changing care comes at a cost: $2,500 per month for each resident. We can’t do this without you.

By becoming a Sanctuary Guardian Angel, your monthly pledge provides the stability, safety, and support these young adults urgently need. Your generosity ensures they are not facing homelessness or uncertainty, but instead stepping into a future filled with hope and possibility.
