Lent Project - Free the girls

So I found myself in kind of a rut during the last few months after miscarrying right over Christmas.  A bit of a pity party/ selfish rut.  So I decided to use Lent to do something about it.  Usually during Lent people give up something to bring them closer to Christ but I wanted to actively do something to help me better emulate his love and charity.

I found this charity through the CNN Freedom Project (which is amazing btw) and I decided to do my very own bra drive.  http://freethegirls.org/

They collect bras to be sold by women and girls who have been rescued from slave trafficking in Mozambique Africa.  Why Bras?  Here is the answer from their website.  "Let’s face it, ladies: the back of your underwear drawer is most likely a graveyard of bras you don’t wear anymore or that never fit right in the first place. By contrast, second-hand clothing is a profitable market in many countries around the world. Bras are sought after items. Some of the girls in our program are making 5x the minimum wage in their community by selling bras! And even better, bras provide an opportunity for these women to work with other women, since they have a history of being abused and used by men."

It is very humbling to realize that my problems (the spinach is all gone at Costco!!) are such 1st world problems and that there are so many of Gods Children who suffer in ways I cannot fathom.  I had to help somehow.So far I have collected one large bag of bras and I hope to collect more and perhaps a bit of money by my end of Lent March 30th deadline.

Any help would be awesome or you could share the info about this.  Or just educated yourself about modern day slavery... it exists even here in the US.
