Youth Thrive Fund

I have been honored to work with young people in the Bay Area as a youth educator for the past ten years. As a wellness practitioner, it is important to me to continue supporting youth with opportunities to thrive emotionally, physically and spiritually. This fund is dedicated to raising money to be able to provide herbal medicine support to low income youth in the Oakland and the greater East Bay.

For 2014 I am specifically raising funds to work with youth at Our Space, a community center for LGBTQ youth in the Bay Area. At this point I am raising funds through my Mobile Tea Stand, which will be featured in October's First Friday at Homestead Apothecary. If you are interested in donating, please contact me. Thank you!

$75 will cover the cost of an intake and herbs for one young person
$400 will cover the cost of one young person to receive herbal support for a full year

Youth Support Testimonial:
"Shooting Star Botanicals offered her energy, herbs, magic & wisdom to East Bay's Queer & Trans young people at our Hella Queer Youth Pride 2014. Elokin made instant connections with young people and her commitment to providing her services, accessibly and with compassion was clear in all her interactions. Shooting Star Botanicals is a loving, safe, welcoming, low-threshold, youth-centered resource for herbal health and care whom we are incredibly grateful for." - Ray
