I know a lot of people (myself included) have a hard time asking family and friends for help, and I know that a bunch of people are financially strained by the cost of treatment in the U.S., so is there anyone here on OCF that might want to be the repository for any donations (tea, blankets, books, etc.) that people might want to give and people could come here for help?

I think some might be more comfortable coming to the OCF family if there were a specific place within this community that they could contact for some help. I am currently involved with 4 different charities, along with full time work, so I would not be able to spearhead this, but it might be a nice idea if someone could?

Just thinking out loud.
