We are grateful for partnerships like this! We had the great opportunity of donating menstrual cups to the @prudence.crandall.center
A big thank you to Suheera Haq `26, a UConn student who donated menstrual cups. She is a pre-med major studying molecular and cell biology, with an Individualized Major in social determinants of reproductive health. Suheera volunteers with the Worcester Free Care Collaborative, providing free medical programs to the Greater Worcester area. With a UConn Change Grant, she purchased 150 menstrual kits for distribution to the Collaborative, women`s shelters, and an autism service provider in Worcester.
