WHAT’S UP NERDS, MY ECHEVERIA IS PROPAGATING (finally) (I switched it to this container/soil mix after weeks of nothing and it was the right choice because look at the baaaaaby)

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them. At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.
