Goal
Flowing With Compassion:
At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with 11 cysts in my ovaries and endometriosis. Despite having access to menstrual products and proper gynecological care, this disorder has presented me with many challenges, both physically and mentally. My experience with endometriosis, as well as my passion for public health, prompted me to reflect on how difficult menstruation can be for those who do not have access to what they need.
In June of this year, I was crowned Miss New York and have been advocating for menstrual equity throughout my year. I have had the honor of working with For Women By Women, Period. in an effort to end period poverty. It has been a blessing to, firsthand, see how this organization has changed the lives of so many.
The Impact:
~ For Women By Women, Period. has distributed a little over 200,000 products to various organizations in New York City. via our distribution network.
~ In 2022, the first youth program was established at Pittsford Mendon High School in Rochester, NY, and since then FWBW. has started two additional youth programs in the Bronx and Queens, NY. The young programs are assisting us in their communities by running product drives and donating the collected items to local organizations in their hometown.
Your Impact:
Join us this Giving Tuesday, to help us continue the fight against period poverty. You have the power to be a hero for individuals who do not have access to essential menstrual hygiene products. Your contribution will allow us to continue purchasing products for distribution, enhancing the youth program, and educating the community about period disparities. Together, we can fight period poverty one cycle at a time!
