There is so much to absorb this week. Everything seems to be coming from all sides, all at once. It's completely overwhelming, and it's too hard for me to find the words.
Simply put, I'm not handling anything well.
But, I can do what this email does best, and share some links:
NAACP Legal Defense Fund
Movement 4 Black Lives
The Okra Project
World Central Kitchen
Latino Community Foundation Norcal Wildfire Relief Fund
National Smokejumpers Association
Iowa Derecho Relief
DonorsChoose Teacher & Classroom Support
First Nations Emergency Response Fund
Americares COVID-19 Relief
COVID-19 Charity Navigator
Vote.org
United States Census 2020
Betterhelp Counseling
After having more than one close family member or friend have very serious health scares in the past 3 weeks, I am begging you to take care of yourselves. Don't ignore those little twinges, don't think getting it checked out isn't safe right now. Ask for help if you need it.
You are important, you matter, and you've only got one life.
Here are some seemingly frivolous things that have brought me small moments of relief this week. I hope do they same for you, wherever, and however, you may be.
