"Can a week or even a day go by without a knock on our door? Every time our door opens, our family seems to grow at Casa Ruby, our Washington, D.C.-based bilingual, multicultural LGBT organization.

I remember three years ago when Mally showed up, not yet out of her teens. She told me about growing up in Georgia yet having lost her parents years ago. As a trans teen arriving in Washington without any family, friends or support, she scrambled to survive, never knowing if she'd have a safe place to sleep at night."
