Coronavirus: if you are able to offer help, please post here

[a_chap]

Although upthread I modestly claimed to have few skills (in reality I'm brilliant and talented as fuck!) I could offer temporary shelter to pets of affected people.

When I say pets I mostly mean dogs although I could accommodate a rabbit, guinea pig or similar. Even a reptile or two. Sadly I do not have space for horses, not even Shetland ones. And obviously not cats. Everyone knows they will will survive by feasting on their owner's remains.

 

[Fez909]

There’s quite a few of us in Leeds!
redsquirrel seeformiles Kaka Tim LynnDoyleCooper Orang Utan Fez909 and me!

I’m not brilliant at cooking. Have some healthcare skills. Plus two teenage lads who are currently both skinheads, one of whom can get anything you want knocked off the market, and the other can get anything you want off the darknet (if that helps).

I'm technically still in Manchester, but moving back to Leeds on 21st (barring any virus/girlfriend-related disasters)

 

[rich!]

I'm fucking brilliant at hand jobs and very experienced but haven't tried it on anyone else before.

which postcode?

yay! spoke too soon

 

[Orang Utan]

I'm a good cook and I have a bike and I may have a lot of time on my hands soon, but not sure how people can help each other if they're supposed to be distancing themselves from others

 

[BCBlues]

Tom
Birmingham - on a bike so south or central Birmingham or Solihull is easy, north birmingham and black country not so much but I can do if there's no-one else closer.
Happy to bring deliveries, batch cook some meals etc.

I'm North Brum/Black Country side so between me and Tom we got it covered. Im a relic so ain't much use physically these days but I have a brilliant network of family and friends to get out there should the situation arise.

 

[chilango]

Reading. Can write a pointless statement about how capitalism is to blame whilst you get deliveroo from one of the town's three Nandos.

...but, yeah, if anyone on the East side of Reading needs anything I'll do my best.

 

[Spymaster]

This is an excellent thread.

I'm far from a natural care person but if any regular urbs are struggling and need a few quid to keep going I can probably help out.

Remember I'm a capitalist cunt so I have to charge interest. My current rate is 0.001%; loans repayable over 100 years .

PM if you're in real shit.

 

[kittyP]

Oh arn't you all bloody brilliant!!

I am in south London
I have MH issues which means that I am not always exactly available at short notice but I can drive and with some notice to get myself together I could do a drop off of groceries and or medical supplies. xxx

 

[SheilaNaGig]

Brixton.

I might could foster animals if their people are in hospital, check their homes in their absence, water plants etc.

 

[Part-timah]

Cambridge, have motor and can run errands. If you’re in a pickle can service further in East Anglia.

Beautiful thread.

 

[Saul Goodman]

I need help giving a single fuck about it.
I know I probably should but I'm failing to muster a single fuck. It's just a thing that's happening. If I get it, shit happens. The same logic applies to all and sundry.

In terms of direct impact on myself I couldn't give less of a shit.
But, the world doesn't just resolve around me..
Vulnerable people, people we know, will need help in the coming days.
Absolutely nobody is obliged to do anything but don't minimise the potential impact of what's happening dude..

 

[scifisam]

I was just thinking about something like this earlier and wondering how I could actually offer help. The daughter and I were talking earlier about potentially throwing stuff over the fence to the old lady who lives back of us. She has cancer, and although her family do visit, they might be concerned about visiting her in case they pass something on.

Funnily enough I could also imagine her being concerned about me. Perhaps we should exchange numbers over the back fence, which puts us a metre away anyway. Then we could go out in the garden every day, say yup, still alive, confirm that to my loved ones.

Anyway... I'm in east London. I can look after other people's pets if they or someone else can get them to me, like if they're stuck abroad (I have a garden), and my daughter does catsitting, registered on a catsitting website, but would do it for free in an emergency. I could help with some very nearby stuff, and I think my daughter would help a bit to transfer stuff to people if I asked her.

We also, by accident and nothing to do with coronavirus, have so much toilet roll that if anyone in my local area runs out, I probably have more than a Tesco Express. Thankfully nobody on here knows my full address* or I'd probably be looted.

(Well, nobody who'd loot me. I hope).

I'm a good cook and I have a bike and I may have a lot of time on my hands soon, but not sure how people can help each other if they're supposed to be distancing themselves from others

True, but you can still pick stuff up and drop it off to people, including, say, prescriptions, that you can't get by uber. Or walk a dog or help with gardening without necessarily getting up close.

 

[Mation]

If it's really bad I also have a shotgun.

^ Can provide treatment for the corona happy

South London, here. Can't drive or cycle, but happy to do local doorstep food/essentials drops.

 

[Looby]

I’m in Dorset. No time generally in the week but free at weekends and have a car for errands and drop offs.
Not a great cook and probably couldn’t be arsed with a decent handjob.

The right kind of skinheads I hope. As in not the 'Right' type.

Your restricting his access to that didn't go so well then!?

Eldest for fashion, youngest cos he thinks he’s gonna join the army then leave and become a mercenary and make his fortune. I wish I was joking

And LynnDoyleCooper I was being a bit tongue in cheek- he currently has no phone, computer, bank account or even Xbox til tonight.

 

[SpineyNorman]

I can also get whatever you want on the dark web. So long as what you want is drugs.

Obviously I wouldn't really honest cos that would be illegal guv

 

[SpineyNorman]

which postcode?

S40. It will be fucking sore afterwards cos I'll have to scrub it with soap and a scouring pad then give it a once over with 70 percent ethanol sanitizer.

It will be a fucking good wank though so probably still worth it, at least as good as the ones where I sit on my arm for an hour so it goes numb and doesn't feel like I'm doing it myself

 

[SpineyNorman]

What the fuck am I saying? Lol

Sorry, serious thread probably doesn't need me acting a twat.

I'll only give you a wank if I really really feel sorry for you.

 

[Grace Johnson]

Going to have to withdraw my previous offer for at least the next week. My brother who lives with me has come down with something and has to stay home so I will be staying home as a precaution.

A few people having mentioned setting up a pot to help people and I think that's a great idea and would like to donate to that.

Thank you. We're doing sound. He's not too ill and I've had no symptoms so far. Hopefully stays that way. We have all the steaming services and loads of food so have been cooking loads of tasty stuff.

 

[hash tag]

SW11, have car, can drive, can do few local deliveries or chuck a few quid in pot.
Caveat..I start a week of night shifts tonight.

 

[bendeus]

Vale of Glamorgan. Can drive, deliver and cook. Don't have two brass farthings to rub together atm so can't chuck anything in, soz.

As the global COVID-19 pandemic is upon us, a number of mutual aid groups have started forming across the country. The groups aim at providing community support to those who are more at risk from the virus: be it help with running errands or cooking. COVID-19 is a novel virus most affecting...
