The US stadiums are mogging European stadiums left and right 😭

My thoughts after 3 months in the US/Texas🇺🇸: - Americans are way more extroverted than Europeans - Talking to strangers is normal here - My first H-E-B trip felt like Boris Yeltsin seeing an American grocery store - Some food is more artificial, but the amount of choices is insane - You can still eat healthy. You just have to choose it - High risk, high reward is real - Way more people are entrepreneurial - People dream bigger than in Europe, and they actually execute - Obv not everyone is smarter, but the smart people are world-class - Successful people here are way more down-to-earth. In Europe, successful people care about status and can be arrogant - Cars. Enough said - Americans have perfected artificial sweets - There’s still more freedom here than in Europe - One thing I didn’t expect: some Americans talk down on America - As an outsider, that’s weird, because imo it’s still the greatest country on Earth🇺🇸🇺🇸

CORAS is growing, and we could really use your help. 🩵💙 As our client base grows and the need for crisis support increases- especially with the summer heat and the rising cost of living- so do our operational costs. We're working hard to expand our services, but we can't do it without our community behind us. We finally have our office space, and with the addition of an SUV (generously bought by our director), we're working toward launching a community outreach and crisis support vehicle program to help us bring services DIRECTLY to those who need them most. We also want to patrol high foot traffic areas to ensure the safety of those out on the streets in these increasingly dangerous nights, and lessen police intervention. With enough funding, we're also hoping to begin offering housing support in the near future, optimistically a safe home for unhoused workers. Right now, we're especially in need of: 
• Direct financial support • Women's and children's clothing
• Non-perishable food and snacks
• Grocery store gift cards for immediate crisis support
• Art supplies, board games, and family activities
• For the kids, a used TV, and even Xbox Series S controllers and gift cards (we were generously donated an XBOX console for the children who visit our office for our childcare program, but have no way to set it up just yet)
• Condoms (latex, non latex, female), dental dams, and lubricant for harm reduction and sexual health support • Pads and tampons, and first aid kits As our staff is entirely volunteer based and does not take a salary, every single donation goes DIRECTLY to those in need and provides immediate, practical support to sex workers, survivors, and their families in our community. Please help us help those who have been so under-served for far too long ❤️.
