How to help?
I'm not sure what I am specifically asking, but I know that many people in CT will be affected by what's happening politically. I can't do anything about that, but I can help my neighbor. No more funding for Meals on Wheels? I can drop stuff off in the mornings before work. No more funds for the program that provides rides to doctor appointments. I'm free in the mornings.
I am just so worried about those of us who are barely hanging on. I am lucky. I'm doing OK. It hurts to see people who are getting kicked while they are down. Maybe we can start a subreddit where we can post what needs doing, and people can see if they can help. We would need to have some policy regarding requesting monetary assistance. Without that, it would just be flooded by people asking for money, and it wouldn't work. I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me know what you think.
Edit: I set up a sub r/HelpCT. Please pass it on to those who may be interested. Thanks.
