This right here is everythingš¤ Meet Reese, a 6th grader from Kaua'i, who has been helping with the county park pilot initiated by Mayor Derek Kawakami County of Kaua'i earlier this year. She and her three sisters have taken it upon themselves to restock every week as a family service project, so no menstruator has to go without. Our bills may die. Our resolutions may not all pass, but we still have so much hope for change because of keiki, like Reese and her sisters.
And guess what? No one has damaged the dispenser. There isn't crazy hoarding, vandalism, clogged toilets, or mess either. The cost has been minimal and absorbed into the regular custodial supplies budget...like toilet paper.
PS. We š Mayor Derek Kawakami, who was totally on board to pilot the county park and said yes without hesitation. Go figure - he is also a . We're here for it.
