Welcome to our first blog post! My sister and I have been collaborating to organize a drive to help the residents of the Pajaro River Valley for the past few months. We requested the help of our close friends and family to raise any money or supplies, which will ultimately be given to the Raíces y Cariño, a nonprofit organization. Our family was able to support us in our efforts to assist the Pajaro community by using the Amazon Wishlist that was offered on the Get Involved page or by using the PayPal addition. After collecting the proceeds, we succeeded in raising $800 just from family and friends! Not only were we able raise the funds that are needed to help women in Pajaro Valley, but we have received the following:
7 Rael Organic Cotton cover pads (60 count)
1 set of Menstrual Cups (4 count)
2 Nalwort Menstrual Period Panties (4 count)
15 Always Pure Cotton Extra Heavy Flow (22 count)
1 Rael Organic Cotton Large Cover Pads (48 count)
1 Rael Organic Moderate Pads (30 count)
4 Regular Pure Cotton Ultra Thin (56 count)
1 Rael Organic Tampons (36 count)
1 Thinx For All Period Underwear (2 count)
2 Natural Bamboo Liners (96 count)
Taking everything into account, we were able to provide these women with 1,488 pads, 36 tampons, 4 menstruation cups, and 10 period underwear! We intend to broaden our audience as we move forward by using more social media platforms to spread the word and we can't wait to see what the future holds!
