PhD student at Brown University researching climate change and public health. I went back to graduate school in my 40s while my kids went to college! 🌍🌈💜
Yes, I heard the response today was great. They will need more donors in the coming days too.

For folks in RI, you can sign up to donate on the RI C website or you can walk in. They have a good turnout today and will have extended hours for donations.

There are more times available this week to help replenish supply.

Thank you all for caring about this community. 💙

Tonight, in the middle of the crisis, I am sending thoughts and prayers to my community. We are still sheltering in place. First responders and law enforcement are working hard. But thoughts and prayers will not be enough tomorrow.

I am safe. I am a middle-aged mom who returned to Brown to get my PhD. I have called my college-aged kids and my dad. I feel this both as a student and a parent.
