#ItsMyBloodyBirthday

This year I'm celebrating my birthday a little bit differently to make it one to remember! Changing the lives of many women and girls.

I'm swapping gifts for donations to help fund Dignity Vending Machines. These are a world first innovation that provides free and dignified acess to period products.ย  Each donation will help fund period packs which restock these machines and ensure that women do not feel ashamed or embaressed when dealing with their period, or about needing to ask for help.ย 

I appreciate any support you are able to give because together we have the power to change the world.

Share the Dignity

Share the Dignity works to make a real, on the ground difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, or doing it tough. They distribute period products to those in need and work to end period poverty here in Australia.

When someone is doing it tough, the last thing on their mind should be dealing with their period.

They assist those in need by collecting thousands of period products each year through collection drives and campaigns and distribute them directly to charities across Australia.

Thank you to these #BloodyLegends who have donated to my #ItsMyBloodyBirthday!

Thank you Rachael for making a difference. This is so great. Sending a donation from Germany. Fundraising is such an important thing to do. I am also one for the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund (link is in my IG bio) I started that last year for the World Gorilla Day. I also want to start a fundraising page for O.U.R. (Operation Underground Railroad. A great organisation which operated worldwide to end human trafficking. It is however more than tough without a platform to raise money..but all effort counts and I really admire you for your effort. God bless you, Birthday Girl. โค๐Ÿ™. Hang in there in lockdown. Lots of hugs from Germany
