Now is the time…
I have decided that now is the time to quit my well-paying, “dream come true” job, in order to chase the dream of being a full time consultant who works for herself. As, I have reflected on the privilege that I have to be able to do that, I have decided that I also want to take this opportunity to bring attention to people, places, and situations in need of assistance.

Abortions are healthcare
SB 8 will ban abortion as early as 6 weeks and put a minimum of a $10,000 bounty on anyone that helps someone obtain an abortion in Texas.
This law specifically targets abortion funds, which help Texans pay for their procedure and get logistical help like a ride to the clinic.
Let’s be clear that abortions will still happen, this will just make them more difficult to get, leading to unsafe alternatives.

SPONSOR A CLASSROOM
School is back in session and back in person. As we know, teachers are superheroes and spend so much money making sure that the kids are alright. I suggest reaching out your teacher friends or local public schools and seeing if they need assistance covering the cost of classroom supplies.
