Good morning beautiful people. For those who don't know, I have a housing program for older foster youth which I recently celebrated 22 years. I am always looking for furniture donations, especially dressers, couches/loveseats, and small kitchen tables. If you would like to donate any furniture or household items, inbox me. My youth also appreciate knock knacks and pictures for their walls. Thanks in advance. St. Louis area only.

This month, two Bronx mothers have thrown their babies out of a window. While some in their community and our society vilify and condemn these mothers, we have to ask a bigger question: "What kind of pain must a mother be to commit such a crime?"
