Imagine being homeless. You've got nowhere to sleep, eat or bathe. Now imagine being a homeless woman, trying to negotiate your period. Less than ideal, right? When Rachel Gorham -- a nurse focused on women's health -- moved to Seattle, WA, she noticed the high number of homeless women and started talking to them about what life was like for them. It became clear that one of the top things she could do to help was to provide women with the supplies they needed to better manage their monthly cycle. The Healing Hands Project now distributes free menstruation kits to women around Seattle, working with area homeless shelters to get the kits in women's hands. Listen in to learn all about Rachel, the Healing Hands Project, and the difference it's making for homeless women in Seattle.
