HRH413 Grant Gap & Conference Miracle Needed!
Donation protected
Hey everyone!
This is Jess Tilley from HRH413. As many know, I will be attending this year's National Harm Reduction Conference and play an instrumental part in keeping our community safe at the event. This is an especially emotional period for so many of us in the harm reduction community given all the losses we have suffered over the past few years. Because HRH413 has been in a grant gap, I've been using personal funds to pay our phenomenal outreach workers, as well as procure much needed supplies. As of this week, we are at ZERO funds. We have nothing to pay our teams while I'm away. Our outreach team members are on the streets daily, helping the most vulnerable and marginalized in the community stay alive. And its getting cold. Requests are pouring in daily for sleeping bags and tents. On top of this, I've now depleted the tiny savings I had for basic needs during the conference. I am asking for help but realize we are all experiencing the same plight, so throwing this put to the universe! Love you all!+
