My quiet place.
I have been very anxious and worried and upset for obvious reasons, so I have been collecting resources that people have been posting into a master post, as well as adding my own resources. This post is LONG so it's under a cut, but it includes:
Hotlines
Places to Donate and/or Volunteer
Food + Medical Resources (incl. HRT)
Resources to Stay Positive
These are also good places to donate or volunteer!
