Thank you for writing about this Cori. You can add the hesitation to ask our social networks to provide care when we ourselves fear that a request to pick up a fee groceries might become too frequent and put strain on already strained friendships. I live in a apartment building with an FB group and would love to ask if anyone going to the grocery would be willing to pickup a couple of bags of kitty litter. Its too heavy for me to carry. Yet I haven’t even asked because I don’t want to be the needy cat lady on the first floor. Yet healthy me would have been more than happy to do that for a neighbour.
You're so right that this is the sort of easy favor someone will probably be happy to help you with. It could turn into an ongoing favor, but they're going to be going to the store on a regular basis anyway :) The worst case scenario is no one replies to your post.
