About Project HEAL

During the month of Pride, Wednesdae is looking to raise money for Project HEAL’s treatment equity access funds that support the LGBTQ+ community, AAPI, BIPOC, Disabled, Neurodivergent and fat humans who deserve treatment and rarely have access to that care. 


For Wednesdae Project HEAL has been one of the loves of their life and they feel passionately about the importance of allowing all bodies to 
access the care they both need and deserve. 

Everyone deserves to HEAL 
and these donations can make it possible.
