After discovering a lack of resources for menstruators, she used her birthday savings to start her nonprofit, providing essential items like pads and tampons. Over the years, she has donated 77,000 menstrual-care products to local schools and has navigated significant challenges while holding a full-time job. Her efforts highlight the importance of supporting local grassroots organizations in addressing urgent community needs.
