@kirkette just curious - how are the cities chosen? I am surprised that Houston is not on the list given its number of low SES students and the fact that Matthew McConaughey grew up just outside of Houston.
@kirkette, I've always liked you and respected you, but this week my respect for you has only grown. I will make a donation and I thank you for alerting us to this organization so we can do so!
I looked to see if the organization is on Amazon Smile, so I could choose them as my charity when I make purchases, but I don't see them listed. Is there a way to get them on there?
You're the best, @kirkette! I will happily and proudly be making a donation today. I love your wording about not being a bystander, and I'm taking it to heart.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
2. Can we get occasional updates on what we've accomplished in terms of a total? I think people find that very motivating and we can use it to keep the subject line and thread fresh.
I remember talking to you about this organization, as you were preparing for your interview. I was so excited (and jealous) of what a beautiful fit the position would be for you. Talk about all of your passions being rolled up together for one amazing purpose! I just love everything it stands for & will happily support them (& you).
@kirkette,Awesome. I am not in a position to donate right now... but I am keeping this link saved as a favorite so when I do find myself with a few extra bucks its going there.
@kirkette, my donation has been made. Thank you for continuing to answer questions, be patient and try to be a uniting voice in a community that is making all of those things difficult right now.

I will be donating later today.
@kirkette - do you know if just keep livin is on AmazonSmile? Those who don't already have a favorite charity or who might be interested in selecting a new one could help contribute that way too.

This is a good point!
You are a class act, Kirkette. I will donate when I get home. I also would love to share this charity in a couple civic minded FB groups, if you don't mind?
This is such a gracious move. Guiding this debacle in a positive direction after what you've been subjected to is a testament to your class and upbringing. Glad to help.
