0:00.0	Welcome to Feathers My Hair, a teen mom deep dive podcast. I'm your host, Liz Bentley.
0:11.4	Hi. Hello, everyone. Before we get started, I just want to say again, thank you so much to everyone who contributed to Operation Santa.
0:23.0	We've raised $4,000, which is just, it's, it's amazing. I sent out the gifts on Tuesday,
0:33.5	Wednesday, Wednesday morning before we got a snowstorm. Hopefully they will be arriving soon to the recipients.
0:41.3	USPS has really been fucking my gifts around. I swear to God, every fucking thing that I've ordered from Etsy, which I ordered, you know, like over Black Friday, has been like in transit arriving late. It's so annoying.
0:56.1	The tracking is so annoying. But I was able to ship out those gifts. Um, for the family where
1:03.8	the mom had lost the job, I was able to send her a $700 gift card along with each teen, a $300 gift card. That's, I think, the thing I'm most
1:12.9	excited about. I was able to sponsor a bunch of wishes on one simple wish. I can't remember what I

1:39.5	letters because they just got adopted so quickly this year, I was looking for other ways that I could help.
1:45.8	And another way that I decided to help was through this organization called One Simple Wish,
1:50.6	which works with agencies that have kids in foster care or youth that is aged out of foster
1:56.7	care and they allow them to wish for anything, which I really like because, as you all know,
2:02.6	I'm a big believer in not just giving necessities to kids. I love that they like let the kids
2:08.8	ask for ugg boots and switches and the same shit that every other kid wants. So through one simple
2:14.8	wish, I was able to, I did fund a computer for a student for virtual
2:20.2	learning.
2:21.2	I also fund like a shopping spree for a girl.
2:23.7	So I would say those were the two necessities.
