Gavin Grimm Update
Many of you have heard of Virginia’s own super advocate, Gavin Grimm, the student who took Gloucester School District to court in order to attend school while living as his authentic self. He eventually won his case, long after graduating. He continued to carry on his quest to help all Virginia gender expansive children.
A few years ago, Gavin underwent some serious health problems that have left him on Disability and unable to drive. At that time, a GoFundMe account was set up by his trustees to cover his housing and medical expenses. He is waiting to get housing assistance from his county as well as SNAP (food) assistance but neither has been approved as of yet.
If you are interested in helping Gavin Grimm with his housing needs, here is a link to his GoFundMe: GAVIN GRIMM
