Writing Your Story
|
|
People are often surprised at their capacity to provide for family, friends, or a favored charity after assessing their assets. Once the security of your loved ones and yourself is assured, you may naturally consider the life experiences that brought you to GLSEN, to pursuit of safe schools for all, and to the prospect of LGBT youth more able to learn because they are free of fear. The Weiland Society, A Legacy for the Future recognizes friends making a "legacy" gift.
