We’re heading into Thanksgiving week here in the US, which means time to think about what we’re thankful for. Ladies, are you thankful you can buy your bras? Amazingly, not everyone can afford to.
I read this story by Dawn Reiss and was kind of amazed–this Chicago artist did a project with a bunch of bras, then ended up with them in his closet. A prodding by an old girlfriend to do something with them, and now this man has a non-profit on his hands, collecting new and gently used bras to be donated to women’s shelters or teen programs.
It makes total sense, when you think about it. Bras can be expensive, and you’ve got to cash out a good amount to get a full supply of them. You don’t have the money, you’re wearing the same bra over and over again. How does that feel? This organization, called Support 1000, can help women in such a small, yet really important way, so if you’ve got some extra bras lying around, think about sending them this organization’s way.
