In 2022, Nunes founded the non-governmental organization (NGO) Minha Criança Trans. Initially, she worked with an LGBTQ NGO but decided to create one specifically for transgender children. According to Nunes, one of the reasons for founding her own NGO was the difficulty in finding support networks for transgender children of her daughter's age. Minha Criança Trans was officially registered in January 2023. During that year's São Paulo LGBTQ Pride Parade, the organization brought together 120 families under the slogan, "Being trans is a right. Our children deserve respect." At the 2024 LGBTQ Pride Parade, Minha Criança Trans organized a group for transgender children and adolescents, with 150 participants.{{cite web|access-date=2024-12-28 |date=2024-06-02 |language=pt-BR |title=Abre-alas da Parada LGBT+ teve crianças e adolescentes trans e pessoas com deficiências |url=https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/cotidiano/2024/06/abre-alas-da-parada-lgbt-teve-criancas-e-adolescentes-trans-e-pessoas-com-deficiencias.shtml |website=Folha de S.Paulo}}

Minha Criança Trans supports 650 families across Brazil and 75 families living abroad, assisting children aged 3 to 18. The organization's focus includes health, quality of life, public policy, and securing rights. The NGO operates with a board of eight volunteers. In 2024, Nunes devoted 12 hours a day to her work with the organization entirely on a voluntary basis.{{cite web|access-date=2024-12-27 |first=Garcia |language=pt-BR |last=Pedro |title=Mãe de menina trans de 9 anos precisou mudar de casa após ser ameaçada por neonazistas |url=https://www.terra.com.br/nos/paradasp/mae-de-menina-trans-de-9-anos-precisou-mudar-de-casa-apos-ser-ameacada-por-neonazistas,9af4de2ff5cab79a7c6cab6693e4e566502md4j8.html?utm_source=clipboard |website=Terra}} The NGO's Instagram account has over 160,000 followers.
