“Carey and I fully support Tyler and could not be prouder of the human being that he has become. Our hearts break for youth that struggles with their sexual identity and face rejection at home and in their overall environment. Our support of The Trevor Project is to afford these youth an avenue to blossom into the human beings that they are meant to become.”
Steve Johnson, Trevor Donor
