If you know 30 people personally and locally, reaching out to them directly can have a powerful impact.
- Send a clear, honest message about your current circumstances, asking for help.
- Encourage them to share your message with 10 others they know who might also offer support.
This creates a positive snowball effect — each person who shares multiplies the reach of your message.
Not only does this increase the chances of a positive outcome, it also helps nip any misinformation or distortions in the bud, because people hear your story directly from you, backed by evidence.
When spreading the word:
- Be honest and factual.
- Include evidence where possible.
- Make a clear, respectful call for help.
Remember, you have helped many others in the past out of empathy and kindness. Now it’s okay to let your community support you in return.
Small actions from a trusted circle can create momentum — and momentum can bring real results.
