How did it feel when you pooped today?
Maybe it's something you didn't really notice. It's something we do every day, so it's easy to let it slip by. Maybe you had someone banging at your door and you craved that moment of stillness all morning long. Maybe you had a meeting to get to and rushed through the whole thing, impatient for your "down time" to be over.
Take a breath. Slow down. Feel the relief that comes when you sit on your throne and let all your muscles relax.
For over 2,000 people in Grand Junction, CO that relief doesn't come.
They don't get to sit on their own throne to do their business.
Instead, they're forced to squat in a field or down an alley, their muscles tensed as their fight or flight response stays alert for any potential interruption or danger.
You can share the relief you feel in your own bathroom with them by helping build and maintain Toilet Equity toilets to help your neighbors feel safe and secure.
We partner with local organizations who host our toilets in their parking lots for anyone to use, anytime. Our volunteers and employees check on our toilets daily to make sure they're safe, clean, and fully stocked for our users and the community.
Compassionate donors like you have helped capture 15,000 poops and 2,250 gallons of pee so far this year: that's a lot of poop and pee that isn't on the streets of Grand Junction! (And by the way, that's a pile of poop the size of a large tool shed!)
Thank you for believing, like we do, that everyone deserves a toilet when they need one.
Yes, I want to give peaceful throne time!
