'Many communities across the Intuitive Network experience life-threatening resource crises, power outages, and other utility interruptions.

Intuitive Network architecture helps us gather essential communications about these challenges and coordinate solutions ongoing.

This work is especially pressing since recent widespread severe storm damage in Pittsburgh on 29 April, where much of the key hardware for our worldwide infrastructure is located β€” and where services have not yet been restored.

Intuitive is equipped to coordinate effective response in ways most organizations aren't; because we center collaborative dialogue approaches that ensure our most vulnerable community members can be heard, respected, and fully included as solutions move forward.

Our Substack readership and Telegram collaborators have been powerful allies in growing Intuitive Network response capacity over this past decade of building together.

We're so glad you're here.'

https://www.intuitivepublicradio.network/p/intuitive-response-ff3
'The immediate shortlist of emergency supplies we're seeking includes:

A generator and fuel to run it (more details in this post)

A $150 battery pack to power disability aids, communication devices, and related network solutions (this one looks like it will work, and we're open to suggestions if you know of a better option)

Rechargeable AAA batteries like these

Brown chemical-free bleach-free Seventh Generation paper towels like these (especially while we are still unable to to run laundry machines)

2 hot water bottles (like these ones)

2 bottles of safe specific castor oil (this brand or this brand only)

Funds to replace special medical foods that have spoiled without refrigeration (crucially needed for those not able to digest other foods)

Local coordination to get ice to prevent remaining special medical foods from spoiling (there seems to be an ice shortage across Pittsburgh) and ensure safe storage for replacement foods.

Note: Though in all cases, we prefer small businesses instead of Amazon β€” right now, these supplies are needed on an immediate emergency basis. The swiftest surest delivery of the specific needed items will be the best option.

Thank you so much for your help.

Be in touch with Megan Elizabeth before making purchases to find out the swiftest route of delivery, or if transferring funds for us to make purchases directly is best.

Contact information and more on how to support us is here at this link.

Thank you for your prayers, re-shares, and reaching out. πŸ’–
Let's do this thing.'

'A generator and fuel to run it are our best approach to preserving medically-essential food β€” to power a freezer and have the option of directly recharging a battery backup for other necessary devices.

Having a generator dedicated to keeping Intuitive Network architecture online is a high leverage step for all the communities depending on us, including collaborators in Pittsburgh.

Two unpowered freezers at one location are currently filled with medical foods.
Much inside them has already advanced through defrosting, some begun to spoil, and variously, safe edibility unknown.
Other locations are similarly affected.

We're grateful for your help to keep our core organizers and community members fed during this time β€” with the crucial specific medical foods their bodies require β€” so that our work together can most beautifully succeed.'

Hi. My name is Megan Elizabeth. πŸ’–

I'm writing our Intuitive Public Radio content mainly from my personal experience.

All these various aspects are also part of many other people's experiences, except for some specific details about how I've developed the Intuitive Network architecture we rely upon.

I rarely incorporate details that are not also my own personal experience; because my safety and function are at ongoing risk and currently paramount to the preservation of the Intuitive Network architecture that serves all of us.

When we're asking for your assistance for the Intuitive Network, I'm asking you for your help personally… for my own immediate well-being… as well as that of many others.

Can you help me out?

https://www.intuitivepublicradio.network/p/me-megan-elizabeth-and-all-of-us 🌺🌿
My life is on the line right now β€” acutely β€” in nearly all the ways I describe to you in our content streams.

While so many of my colleagues are in more severe situations than I'm in, my own situation is very severe.

Mine is often as invisible as theirs because I perform radio skills well β€” and cannot necessarily broach an especially challenging subject when something's happening to me.

Most of my compounded emergency circumstances happen off-camera, off-the-air.

Continuous dangers to my own life are part of my everyday experience β€” because we have not yet completed local community resourcing necessary to my and others' safety.

For the entire time I've been broadcasting Intuitive Public Radio β€” at least a decade now β€” this has been the case.

Can you help me out?

https://www.intuitivepublicradio.network/p/me-megan-elizabeth-and-all-of-us 🌺🌿
In these posts, I provide more detail about why the Intuitive Network architecture is needed to coordinate resourcing for people with sensitive and severe physical conditions in many locations worldwide.

Right now, we're experiencing a particularly intensive circumstance.

Here's today's introduction to my public media narrative: https://www.intuitivepublicradio.network/p/me-megan-elizabeth-and-all-of-us 🌻🌿

Here's our series of small posts detailing recent severe storm damage in Pittsburgh and our call for support for severely affected disabled community members who are without electric, crucial food, and emergency supply β€” in Pittsburgh and worldwide: https://www.intuitivepublicradio.network/t/service-interruptions ⚑✨

Here's our immediate shortlist of support requests that will make the biggest difference for us now: http://www.intuitivepublicradio.network/p/requested-supplies-and-assistance πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ€

If you can lend a hand or send words of encouragement β€” especially public comments and reshares β€” I'm very grateful.

We have made amazing strides in this past 10 years. We’re eager to keep building.

Thank you so, so much to our readers and community members who have responded to share the little they could.

Every bit makes a bigger difference than you know. βœ¨πŸŒΏπŸ™πŸŒΏβœ¨
' For poor families who call the church in need of immediate assistance. Regular calls include turn off notices for water bills and electric bills, or a need for food when a family has nothing to eat, or a need for medicine. This includes a woman with two teenage sons currently in a state of medical and financial crisis, who needs medicine she cannot afford, for which she is not covered by any insurance or program while her S.S.I. case is delayed in what has been a lengthy appeal process with no end in sight. I, the Rector, have a discretionary fund, but we are a small church and the money simply does not go far enough. This is about poor people who call churches because they fall through the cracks, or they are waiting for the process to be completed for Social Services or the Social Security Administration, but face turn-off notices, food shortage, and an immediate need for medicine. They need help NOW, not when the system finally (if ever) provides. When they call a church it is because they have already reached the end of their rope. '

' Families that depend on one small and unpredictable source of income…

…where all other family members are severely disabled and highly dependent upon service utilities for their ability to gradually recover…

…are often providing significant and generous support to a wider community through their day-to-day care for one another. '

https://www.intuitivepublicradio.network/p/preserve-vitality-family-by-family
'I’m asking your help to keep access to this specific food that keeps me alive…

…and to spread the word about how the Intuitive Network helps people in situations like these to stabilize resource access…

…so that we can bring our diverse joyful skills and service to the greater community.'

https://www.intuitivepublicradio.network/p/safe-food
For families like these, a power outage or storm blockage can mean that their one small source of income is cut off.

The person who could have been drawing that income has to put all their attention to caring for the most vulnerable family members β€” who cannot use electrically powered devices to get through the day on their own when electrical power is not available.

Not only have they lost access to electrical appliances β€” they've lost access to the money that allows them to obtain safe food, to ensure safe drinking water, to pay rent, and to solve common challenges on a day-to-day basis.

In this scenario, the family has a greatly reduced chance of survival β€” and their generous support for their community is lost, too.

Intuitive Network architecture coordinates resources for families like this one, whose stories can be known β€” rather than invisible β€” and whose skills and know-how can be a celebrated strength in the community body.

We must preserve the sacred living resources of the whole community body.

The Intuitive Network infrastructure we've built β€” using Telegram Messenger as a hub β€” is an AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communications) device.

Please encourage your organization and the communities you're part of to install Telegram Messenger and join us in the Intuitive Network.

Your presence on Telegram with us is more powerful than you realize.

There is one single kind of food β€” a medically crucial food β€” that is the base of my body's ability to digest nutrients.

It is a natural food, a food in direct and respectful relationship with the Earth, and it must be as free as possible from contaminants or mishandling common in the modern food industry.

It is not available at grocery stores.

If we run out, or if our stored food spoils (as much of mine now has), it's several hours of driving, a larger block of funds, and an amount of heavy lifting to replenish it.

It's available from one source in our region that we've built a good relationship with. Other sources are difficult to find.

I can sometimes have a little bit of other foods in addition to that food, but that specific food is the key necessity for me to have functional digestion.

I have some medically crucial food left, but each time we run out of ice, it's very difficult for us to find more ice; and a lot of that essential food has spoiled now.

More continues to defrost even with our best attempts at keeping ice on it, until we can get access to a generator that could power at least one of the freezers.

Megan Elizabeth here, devoting a few minutes to sharing our significant gratitude in an audio clip.

While challenges do continue intensively, the blessings are profound.

Thank you so much to all who have and continue to support us in what small ways you can.

Even those who have sent the smallest gifts have flowed such big energy to us.

There's so much strength and vitality in it.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and faith in us.

The connectivity of rising to these challenges together is a pleasure and a privilege.

(Thank you, so so much.)
Since the power went out at our location in Pittsburgh on 29 April 2025, a series of intensified emergencies has radically depleted our already very limited resources.

I rely on Intuitive Network architecture for my life and safety in ways that take time for others to understand β€” because people with compounded injuries like mine aren't supported in our society.

Usually, the rest of the world doesn't even hear about us; even when we dedicate our lives to helping others.

Thousands of severely impacted, disabled and invisible individuals around the world… super-powered, care-oriented helpers whose families and communities are also in hardship and resource extremity… need our Intuitive Network architecture.

Some tasks or supports you may think would now be possible with electrical service restored are not accessible for us because of the heavy nature of what all our bodies have been through; severe physical conditions exacerbated by the strain.

Collaborators I rely on are also struggling significantly with communications because of unmet needs that compromise physical and cognitive capacities.

The outage and road blockage from the storm damage has caused a very significant income interruption for a key collaborator who had been working diligently to fund our base digital infrastructure online β€” keenly necessary for our function β€” and this collaborator cannot continue to do so in the same way as before.

We're charging up batteries and preparing as best we can for if the electric goes totally out again.

We've also moved the little bit of remaining food from the cooler to the freezer for as long as we have electric to run the freezer.

We're doing our best to begin to remedy various toxic messes that commonly accumulate during storm damage and utility outages. There's a lot.

We celebrate with love for those who regain normalcy when electric is restored after an outage (πŸ’–!) β€” and β€” we must communicate as clearly as we can that normalcy is not yet accessible for me and many others because of the compounded events that have occurred.
