My mom died before her beloved granddaughters—my daughters—felt comfortable coming out to her. After her death, I learned she had a written list of eleven favorite charities. Reviewing the list, I was able to identify why, and in honor or in memory of whom, she chose each tzedakah to support. As the first yahrzeit of my mother was nearing, I was struggling to choose a fitting memorial for her. Each of her chosen charities was important, but none made my heart sing. Then I realized that I could perpetuate her love for her granddaughters through a gift to Keshet. I believe with all my heart that had she known they were queer, she would have added a twelfth tzedakah to her list—Keshet.
