Dear Community Member:
Thank you for joining the Pandemic of Love community.
Once you fill out the form below, you will be matched directly (unless you indicate otherwise) with a community member in need based on your financial ability to give and the frequency with which you can give.
Please note: If there is no local micro-community chapter in your area, you will be matched with someone in your country, but they may not be local to you.
This is a manual matching process and it may therefore take a few days and even up to a week before you hear from one of our (non-paid) volunteers.
Once we find and fully vet a community member in need, we will introduce you to them via email and provide you with some background information about them and their situation that they have allowed us to share. We ask that you keep their information confidential as you interact with them and determine how to fulfill their need.
We understand that the needs of your match may be greater than what you can afford to give them. Please remember that there is no such thing as a small act of kindness. Therefore, anything you are able to provide is a blessing and a reminder that they are not alone in this time of need and that they matter.
Unless you otherwise indicate that you do not want the information to be shared, we will be sharing your phone number with this individual and vice versa.
If you wish to not have your phone or email shared, there is an option for you to reach out to them first (and be provided by their number) or donate anonymously on the form below. If you select this option, our community leads will connect with the person/family in need on your behalf. You will not be part of this process. We encourage you to be a part of this process and to form a human connection and, possibly, a friendship.
You can choose to make this experience transactional or you can choose to help make the person feel seen and heard. There is no wrong way to be generous!
Thank you for your help, and welcome to the community.
May you be healthy, happy and free from suffering.
In gratitude and with love,
Your Pandemic of Love Team
