Hey everyone! Ava here with another exciting update on my Empower Her Care Kits journey. I'm really excited to share with you all the amazing news that we've reached a major milestone: 100 kits! When I first started Empower Her Care Kits, I never imagined that we would be able to make such a big impact, but with the support of my family and my community, we've been able to turn my goals into reality.
I'm so excited to announce that we received enough donations to purchase all the products needed to put together our first 100 care kits! Can you believe it? One hundred kits to help one hundred menstruators feel supported and empowered during their periods.
Putting together these kits has been such a cool experience for me. It's been a lot of work to get this idea going but I feel good now that we've got 100 kits completed. My mom and dad have helped me assemble and my sister Olivia, too. Seeing the finished products, and knowing that they will soon be in the hands of menstruators who need them makes it all worth it.
Reaching this milestone wouldn't have been possible without all of you who have supported Empower Her Care Kits along the way. Whether you donated money, shared my story, or simply cheered us on from the sidelines, your support means has felt so good to have.
I'm really excited to make more kits and my new goal is to have 200 or more out in the schools in my district and the surrounding areas. I keep reminding myself that maybe this will help close the gap on period poverty a little bit more. I know it's not enough for the entire world but I'm hoping it makes a difference for menstruators in my community.
