How Transanta works

  1. 1Trans youth write letters and share gift registries during the holiday season.
  2. 2Transanta and their Elves share the letters, linked to each registry, and ensure that every child receives at least $100 worth of gifts so no one is left out.
  3. 3Supporters send gifts directly and safely, without seeing kids’ personal information.
Four letters from trans youth to Transanta, including Ami, 14, who writes that she loves what she likes and will continue to express herself, and Mikey, 13, who wants to help others and become a movie director or writer

“Transanta exists to show trans youth that they are loved and supported.”
