The outpouring of love and support has been overwhelming,” shared the campaign. “We are working with the city of Orlando, our local partners and national organizations to get our community the help that is desperately needed. The solidarity from all corners of the world has helped in the slow healing process.”

The campaign also included information for victims and their families through the VictimConnect Resource Center. Equity Florida is working with the City of Orlando, local partners, and the National Center for Victims of Crime, which deployed funds in both the Chattanooga and Aurora shootings, to distribute the contributions from the Pulse Victim Fund. Equality Florida, considered one of the largest LGBT rights group in the country, is a registered 501c3 nonprofit organization  based inSt. Petersburg, Florida.
