For 4 years, REBUILD has supported many people to access the therapy and counseling they need. The team that has made this program run has been scrappy and creative in trying to keep the program afloat. Every single year has been a challenge in terms of fundraising. But everyone has persisted.

Some people think that it gets easier to raise money when you show effectiveness but that's not true. If any of you have connections to ppl who want to fund a program that is making free & low cost counseling/therapy accessible to formerly incarcerated & criminalized people, please let me know.

Over 3216 books were donated! My goal was 2500 and we blew past that.

I am soooooo grateful to everyone who contributed to the Bluestockings Cooperative book drive that I launched a few weeks ago. It officially ended on 9/2 but as you can see there are still boxes yet to tally. Thank you all!!!!
