I'm thinking it might be nice if I did some volunteer work. Not sure where to begin, are there any no-kill animal shelters that need help? I'm also open to working with kids if anyone knows of any opportunities.

I haven’t personally worked with either, but you could try the Austin Animal Center or Austin Pets Alive. I just started a remote volunteer opportunity with an organization, and it has been a great experience! Definitely recommend if you have the time to give find something that speaks to you!

Honestly OP there are a million places that need volunteers so there are so many things you could devote your time to. When I moved here I just googled animal shelters near me and then called to see if they were needing volunteers. To this day I have never had anyone tell me they don't want free help haha.

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!

And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances.
