Hey there! I'm running a mile every day to help women in our community who are struggling to access mental health care, often feeling trapped and alone. Your support can make a real difference by providing bus passes and counseling for those who desperately need it. Thank you!

Many students are fasting, so we're concentrating on the lesson. Some are also homeless, and we make sure they know about The Social Bite cafe!
