@businessinsider.com shared my story about joining the #sandwichgeneration - with a side of fries. www.businessinsider.com/learning-to-...

Did you know that there is $250 BILLION USD sitting idle in ‘charitable’ accounts?
Imagine the potential impact if this money sitting in Donor Advised Funds went to work for reproductive health, DEI, global development, LGTBQI+ rights, etc.
