Hey all, it's that time of the year for raudsgiving again, and to celebrate my day of birth! This year, I have chosen 4 organisations that have impacted my life in one way or another and I want to gift back to them! Instead of a birthday shindig, I will also be using the money I've put away for my birthday to match up to $400 in donations you make! My goal is to hit $1000 by the end of my birthday month and I hope that you can spare some change to support those that are facing any type of insecurity right now. Thank you in advance. I'll give you a hug and a high 5 the next time I see you (=
