As Coronavirus sweeps the planet, millions of people are
isolating themselves through social distancing to help stop the
spread of the virus.
Now social media sites are lighting up with two kinds of
messages: "How can I help those in need?" and "Can anyone help with
this?"
But so far there's no organized way to find or offer
assistance -- whether it’s financial, practical, or even
social. We’re hoping to change that by building a
centralized, global response system where people all over
the world can get the support they need during this crisis.
Click below to check out this critical new system and
help fill it up with posts before it goes out to the full
public:
Tell
us what you can contribute -- or what you need!
This is how it's going to work. If you have something you
can give -- a little money to someone who needs it, the
ability to do a shopping trip for someone who can't leave the house,
extra diapers, a phone call to help someone feel less isolated --
just post it on the board.
Click
to offer help.
Same goes if you need something. There's no shame in
needing each other right now. Tens of thousands of people
are being put out of work with trying financial times ahead. Many
others are stuck caring for a sick or vulnerable family member and
can't get out of the house to make that shopping trip or walk the
dog. If you or someone you know needs help -- just post it
on the board, and those with something to offer can find
you and give you a boost. Or you can search the
offers for what you need and connect directly!
Click
to ask for help, for you or someone else!
The next few months will be tough, but we can get through
it if we support each other. Let's make this new system the
hub of human resilience we need in trying times. And show
governments and corporations what real global cooperation looks
like. If you need something or have something to offer -- check out
the new system, now!
