Yesterday, while team @dopepeopledoingdopethings fed over 250 men, women, and children, team @iheartprojectpixie distributed 40 #pixiepackages, totalling 720 feminine care items, to the women served at the bi-monthly @dopepeopledoingdopethings feeding of the homeless initiative. Ensuring these women (and all women) have access to the supplies needed to have a healthy menstrual cycle will always remain our first priority and we thank everyone who donates to us in support of this mission. With each outreach opportunity, I learn just how incredibly important and humbling this work is...how it's more than just giving out pads and tampons but also about hearing these women's stories and admiring their resilience, seeing them, and just showing up to be of service in whatever form that looks like. And yesterday, "service" meant finding resources for and praying with a woman who came to our table and disclosed she was suicidal when asked "how are you today?" It meant working with @jaicrabbe, as an extension of her team, to find shelter for a young lady who is 9 months pregnant and living on the subway platform. It was proof that when you have two or more people committed to an outcome, you can really create change! As always, thank you to my team for being lighthouses for this vision and taking on this heartwork alongside me. And a special shout-out to our newest TEEN volunteer @v3ralyn for wanting to join us in yesterday's efforts. And as a reminder to anyone that wants to volunteer in the future, join @dopepeopledoingdopethings at 8pm at Thomas Paine Plaza on the 1st & 3rd Saturday of each month. @jaicrabbe is an absolutely phenomenal woman and the creator of this beautiful initiative and I'm sure she would love to see you!! * * * #iheartprojectpixie #bethechange #womenhelpingwomen #womenshealthmatters #girlshealthmatters #girlpower #menstrualhealthmatters #menstrualequity #tampons #pads #volunteer #donate #heartwork #love #powerinprayer #powerinnumbers #myteamrocks #gratitude #therebutbeforethegraceofGod https://www.instagram.com/p/B0v1rDKHtKb3VbrYYH919hXAaBTSi1KkGCS6Jc0/?igshid=c55op7hulp0f
