On this episode of Financially Naked: Stories from The Financial Gym, our host is Bevin, a Lexington, KY-based Financial Trainer, and she is joined by Gym client Christina Cotham of Formula Fund ATX. They are going to talk about the mutual aid group Christina has started within her community to help connect families with the baby formula they need, and how she did it!
“Mutual aid is when everyday people get together to meet each other’s needs, with the shared understanding that the systems we live in are not meeting our needs and that we can meet them together, right now, without having to pressure power structures to do the right thing.” -What is Mutual Aid? - UGA Social Work
