The Ladies Room got an email from Sadiqa Sakin, the Founder of World of Hearts, about Becky, a local woman who doesn’t qualify for help but is struggling to make ends meet! So Brooke and Monti stepped in to help and it didn’t stop there!

The Zebra Club is donating 50% of today’s proceeds from three of their locations (Downtown Seattle, Capital Hill, and Bellevue) to Becky and her family, so you can help by swinging by a Zebra Club location and pick something up for yourself while helping, just mention you heard Becky’s story on The Ladies Room, MOViN 92.5!
