Hi there.

I'm Liz Dyer, founder of the Mama Bears.

In 2014 I had a dream that I could create a private online community that focused on supporting, educating and empowering mothers of LGBTQ kids and that the moms who joined the group would end up helping to make the world a kinder, safer, more loving place for all LGBTQ people to live. My dream is coming true.

I started Serendipitydodah - Home of the Mama Bears in 2014 with less than 200 moms of LGBTQ kids and as of 2022 there are more than 36,000 moms in that one group.

Over the years a lot has happened and the one private Facebook group has turned into a whole organization that offers 8 additional private groups, 8 programs that specifically serve the LGBTQ+ community, a comprehensive collection of resources, more than 60 local chapters and several sites that support, educate and empower families with LGBTQ+ members and the LGBTQ+ community.

That is a lot of content and a lot of work and it is all free.

I like being able to offer all of this for free. Keeping everything free means the people who need it most have access to it. However, in order for me to continue to do this work and keep it free, I need some people who are willing to support the work. In other words, I need Patrons.

So I created this Patreon page.

Here is how it works:

You select the level at which you want to support my work, ranging from $2 a month to $20 a month. Then Patreon will automatically charge your account each month, so you don’t have to remember. It all happens automatically.

You may be wondering why you would want to do that. Do you get something out of it? Free swag? Advance copies of my new book? Exclusive behind-the-scenes candid shots of me and the cast and crew?

Well ... No - there's nothing like that.

It’s sorta like National Public Radio where some of us pay so everyone can enjoy it because we want to live in a world where NPR exists.

If you become a monthly patron here, you simply get the satisfaction of supporting the work I am doing because you believe that the work is helping to make the world a kinder, safer, more loving place for LGBTQ+ people to live, and that is important to you.

SO, to all of you who are patrons: Thank you so much for supporting my work, and for helping make it free.

I really do believe that together we can change the world!!

Love & light,

Liz Dyer
