Summary

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.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Organized 365 Coffee Chat. These coffee chats pop up when I have something fun or important to share with you about what is going on at the organized 365 company.
0:18.0	Coffee Chats share time sensitive information, so when the coffee has gone cold and the information is no longer relevant,
0:27.2	these episodes will disappear from your podcast cue, keeping the organized

1:01.0	So a few weeks ago, as we all know, there was a devastating Hurricane
1:05.4	Helene followed by Hurricane Milton and specifically Hurricane
1:09.1	Helene in Western North Carolina and all of the surrounding areas had just
1:14.6	horrendous tragedies. I don't really know why I tend to be so obsessed with
1:20.0	hurricanes as I am. I've never been in one. I haven't even had a family
1:23.8	member in one. But there's something about hurricanes that when they happen, they
1:28.1	consume a lot of my thoughts, prayers, and attention. And honestly it was Hurricane Harvey, which is why we even have
1:36.6	binders inside of Organized 365, which I guess I didn't really articulate very well. A lot of people don't know that. But the reason why we have binders at all
1:45.1	is because in 2017 there were a few organized 365 audience members who were trying
1:51.7	to evacuate from the California fires and then there was a hurricane in I think it was
1:56.0	North Carolina again and then obviously Hurricane Harvey was down in the Houston Texas area and
2:01.2	in all three of those instances during the events I was receiving emails what do I do about the file
2:07.7	cabinet like I have the Sunday basket it's in the car what do I do about the file cabinet and
