Welcome to our newsletter for June! The year so far has been pretty good, we have been able to host and table at various events, distribute tons of resources, and connect with more organizations in the area. We are excited to see what this month brings! We are taking it easy this month because May was so packed, but we are in the planning stages for some super exciting stuff coming real soon :)
May saw us dealing with some weather issues that meant we had to adjust how we distribute our resources. We have been able to continue fostering relationships with people in our community while meeting more folks in different areas. We are always looking to provide our community with whatever they need so any donations are greatly appreciated!
Want to be a part of Water Drop Atl? We are making plans to expand this summer and will share more information about how you can become involved soon.
Carl and Julian
Thanks to our wonderful community, we we able to reach the $5,000 goal for Julian’s heart surgery. Carl has received the money and is incredibly grateful to everyone who took part in helping us reach the goal. However, they still need our help. Julian had some tests done totaling around $1,500 that were necessary prior to the surgery. Carl has been working pay of this bill but is still struggling to find a consistent job. We just need to reach the $1,500 to pay off the medical exams. Any amount you can contribute would be immensely appreciated <3

We are always updating our website with more zines we find. If you have any zines you want in our archive, send them our way!
