Since the fire at our home, there has been an outpouring of offers for help from all over town. People have been asking about what our needs are and we haven't been able to give any solid answers, so this form is meant to allow us to make a comprehensive list of the things that we all need in order to get through the coming days and weeks.
Please fill it out as accurately and honestly as possible (PLEASE don't ask for more than you need) and E-mail me (Woody) with any feedback that you have:
kbutno@gmail.com. If your needs change over time, feel free to fill out the form again and we'll go with the most recent.
Examples of things to request:
-Clothing
-Bus passes
-Help paying for medication (don't specify what medication)
-Non-perishable food
-Shoes
-Books
If you are in need of temporary housing or childcare, please see
http://madisoncommunity.coop/lothfire for resources, but feel free to contact us if you need help figuring something out.
As folks fill out this form, the list located at
http://tinyurl.com/help-an-elf will be updated so folks know what sorts of things to donate. When the requested items come in (we're likely going to be using Ambrosia as a drop-off and sorting site), we'll allocate it based on your self-assessed needs.
As of right now (9/14, about 7pm): Carl has edit access to the responses on this form as well as the list of needs. This was done to help ensure transparency. He has agreed to maintain confidentiality as to who has made requests.
