I Could Use Some Help

You do not have to be facing the worst possible situation to ask for help. If your household is safe but this storm has left you stretched, overwhelmed, or dealing with something you cannot handle alone, this section is for you.

Someone may already be offering what you need.

Before posting a new request, check I Can Help and Find Resources. Your need may already have an answer you can contact directly.

Examples

  • Moving branches
  • A hot meal
  • Laundry access
  • Charging devices
  • Borrowing tools
  • A ride
  • Minor cleanup
  • Help documenting damage
  • Checking on a relative
  • Simple human company

These pathways help urgent needs surface first. They are not a judgment about whose experience matters.
