Help Raise Money for Period Poverty
Donation protected
My name is Maggie Kimmett. I am a 20-year-old woman who is raising money for women's period products.
Since I have been a "period-haver", I have been aware of our society's stigma on the topic of periods. As a result, women experience countless times scrambling to the bathroom while trying to manage hiding period products or coughing in the bathroom trying to mask the sound of a wrapper opening.

Therefore, after years of conforming to this strange stigmatization of a natural and monthly occurrence, I have decided to work to break the stigma and #toppletheperiodpoverty.
So many young women, when first joining the "red club", have to go through the misplaced embarrassment of trying to access period supplies.
Additionally, purchasing period products places an extreme financial burden on women. Especially, women who are survivors of unfit relationships who may not have the resources to purchase or access period products.
Let's face it! These women have enough on their plate!
Interested in helping them? My goal for February is to raise $500 to donate period products to the local domestic violence shelter, the Interval House.
A donation of just 20$ can help three women receive period products for their monthly friend!
