I’m me: Mom. Writer. Stressball. In case it wasn’t clear: I have VERY strong opinions on love, tolerance, and accessibility for EVERYONE — Not just for those who are convenient for us.
I rarely post mutual aid requests (never know what is legitimate online)… But this one is from a good friend of mine from the real life word. As a fellow mom of an AuDHD kid, I know how important meds are for a kid’s success in life. Please consider helping a single mom and a great kid!
