good day.

It was a good day. After some of the back-to-school chaos subsided, I was finally able to get some stuff delivered. I wasn’t able to make it to all three of my destinations today, but I did make it to two places. My first stop was The Resource Center. They are focused on advocating for those in the LGBTQ community, and also, those living with HIV. I did not get a chance to meet the Youth First director, but the gentlemen who took my donations was very nice. My second stop was Refugee Services of Texas. Being a new person in a new country is difficult enough, these women do not need to worry about feminine care products. The volunteer coordinator here was excited to talk to me and eager to help me get this non-profit up and running. My third stop, which will have to wait until tomorrow, is the local domestic abuse center.

I reached out to these three organizations for personal reasons. I needed somewhere to start, and I care about these communities deeply. All three groups replied back promptly, and I am so happy I was able to help out.

Honestly, this whole effort was a group affair. Thank you to the people who have donated in the past and to those who want to help from here on out.

Be kind. Be helpful. Be love.
