A portion of the book proceeds will benefit Rainbow Railroad


Why Rainbow Railroad?

Rainbow Railroad’s noble initiative has saved many lives, and their indispensable rescue work is even more desperately needed in these perilous times. No one is safe until everyone is. 


The authors of Why Are We Like This? Stories of Transformation have been committed to helping the LGBTQ+ community for many years, and are donating a portion of their book proceeds to Rainbow Railroad in the hope that you will also support their work in any way you can, including sharing information about it on social media to raise awareness and help save lives. 


Heartstopper® fans, now is your chance to be the light at the end of someone's tunnel.


We are donating a portion of the proceeds from book sales. If you want to provide additional support for this worthy and important cause, click here to make a one-time donation to Rainbow Railroad. 

About Rainbow Railroad

Rainbow Railroad is a global not-for-profit organisation that helps at-risk LGBTQI+ people get to safety worldwide. Based in the United States and Canada, they are an organisation that helps LGBTQI+ people facing persecution based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics. In a time when there are more displaced people than ever, LGBTQI+ people are uniquely vulnerable due to systemic, state-enabled homophobia and transphobia. These factors either displace them in their own country or prevent them from escaping harm. As a result of Rainbow Railroad, more LGBTQI+ individuals can access lives free from persecution, and ultimately, we envision a world where LGBTQI+ people can live lives of their choosing, free from persecution.


Since their founding, they have helped over 19,000 LGBTQI+ individuals find safety through emergency relocation, crisis response, cash assistance, and other forms of assistance.

Why Rainbow Railroad Needs Support Now More Than Ever

In 2024, Rainbow Railroad received over 13,400 requests for help. The demands on their resources are ever-increasing as anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments are rising in many countries.


In 2025, requests for help have already increased by over 20%. So far, they have received 16,360 requests, and the year is not yet over.
