Coffee Chat - Support for Helene - Post a Need - Fill a Need

Release Date:

Hurricanes get a lot of my attention. I think about the people affected, how I can help them, and of course praying for them. I cannot wrap my mind around rebuilding a home, a life.  If I’d had the time for Helene, I would have offered child care services so parents could have a break. Instead an opportunity presented itself. #PostANeed I’ve been following a few people on Instagram to get first hand accounts of how the conditions are, the challenges, and how they are coping day to day. But then, in the Sunday Basket® Club there was a single mom who was sharing her story. She shared how she had no cash, no stove, her SNAP card didn’t work to get food, winter is upon her and her children, no heat yet. One mom replied from one single mom to another. Everyone responded to her post asking how they could help. This is what that community is, positive, supportive, and encouraging. I mean, everyone in the Sunday Basket® Club is invested in personal development and decluttering their homes. I thought, “What if the things we would normally donate locally, we could ship to people in need?”  #FillANeed She asked for a camp stove and another member replied she could get her one! She didn't have one to donate, but wanted to help, so she purchased one instead. To her surprise upon checkout, Amazon offered her $150 if she got the credit card. She did and she was able to supply three cans of gas, too! We used to call the members Sunday Basket® Sisters. So we’ve decided to use the #’s #postaneed #fillaneed #sundaybasketsisters #donations #hurricane There are simple rules on how to conduct filling a wish in the Sunday Basket® Club. Please note this is not just for people affected by Helene. Please feel free to share one post to share your story about your needs, and then every single need needs to be an individual post. In the individual post, please specify exactly what you need. Then, if someone can fulfill that need from their storage, feel free to reply to the post and send a DM to the person who has the need. Exchange addresses for shipping in direct messages and then go back into the post when the item is shipped to let the recipient know that you have shipped the item. Once the item is received, please delete the post so that we only have posts of items that still need to be received. If you find a post that already has someone fulfilling that request, you can also fill that request. Go ahead and list yourself as a secondary backup in case anything happens in the first case. I really hope it works, but I have no idea if it will. I just know that I really want to do something meaningful, and this community of 10,000 members is so powerful.
