Tampontificating

This is not a Greg-friendly post. Skedaddle.

Thus far, my favorite, all-time feminine charitable call to action.

Thanks to Jessica, for pointing it out.

After spending an evening in Charlottesville with a group of homeless women and over the weekend, sharing the library periodicals section with a homeless man getting some much needed rest, the homeless issue is top of mind. The experience with the women reminded me that no matter how far down the path she is, a woman still wants to feel clean, cared for and beautiful. The man who napped across from me in the library was dressed in layers of old clothes, his skin chapped and darkened from exposure. Yet he had a meticulously groomed gentleman’s thin moustache. I could see through his clear shopping bag a disposable razor.

Help someone feel a little better about themselves today.

    I love this idea - and I had never even thought about it. There is a new homeless day shelter coming to Charlottesville: http://www.compassdayhaven.org.
    I am going to stock up on some fabulous items and donate them when it opens!
