She talks about period poverty. Seems like the book will have notes from her on the best resources and ways to help. 

 

 

“The term everyday philanthropist is everything, Taylor. How much better would our world be if people thought about how to meet others’ needs, every day? I didn’t know that the cost of menstruation is at least $7 per month — what a privilege it is to never have had to think about that cost; everyone deserves that peace of mind. We’re so appreciative of Taylor for recognizing a need in their community and organizing their peers around a cause that made such a significant difference in the lives of hundreds of individuals. We encourage you to follow Taylor’s lead and start your own drive, and if you or someone you know is in need of menstrual products or would like to donate menstrual products, please visit PERIOD or call 211, a free, confidential referral and information helpline.” — Lady Gaga

The Born This Way Foundation Reporters and Lady Gaga's Channel Kindness is out on Sep. 22 and is available for pre-order today.

I can't wait to purchase this book.

Another reason I keep these supplies in my desk for my students.  Most of my students live in poverty and I have no idea what kind of resources they have.  I also started a basic needs closet that has body washes, shampoos, etc.  The need is so real.  These are things people can't get food stamps for.

If I ever get like super famous I'd like to donate to your classroom. 

I'd donate books, but I am 100% sure the books I'm writing are improper for anyone not in middle school haha.

I very much appreciate it.  I've had some very generous people from here donate to my Donor's Choose website before.

I try to keep projects on there almost all the time.  The worst that happens is they don't get funded.
