Hi. My name is Megan Elizabeth. 💖

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 — acutely — 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 — 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 — 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 — at least a decade now — 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 — 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 🕊️🍀

If you can lend a hand or send words of encouragement — especially public comments and reshares — 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. ✨🌿🙏🌿✨

' 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.'

'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.'

https://www.intuitivepublicradio.network/p/safe-food-2

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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — rather than invisible — 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 — using Telegram Messenger as a hub — 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 — a medically crucial food — 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.

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 — 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 — keenly necessary for our function — 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 (💖!) — and — 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.

We've gone through the base digital infrastructure for the Intuitive Network and trimmed it down to the barest possible survival minimum.

10th–16th May: $250

These parts of our base digital infrastructure keep communication, writing, and planning tools online — disability aid functions that let us talk to each other, make decisions, and keep recovery work moving.

If we lose it, colleagues get cut off; coordination stalls; emergency supports break down. (I likely would not be able to post here.)

Maintaining it lets us keep working to get solutions in place... and keeps a lot of people alive. Including me.

With your help we've achieved $75 of this $250 block.

We are seeking out and welcoming in the remaining $175 to preserve this infrastructure and our function through to May 16th.

Of the essential medical foods that were lost for lack of refrigeration when the freezers defrosted during our Pittsburgh electrical outage, $500 worth has not been paid for yet.

(Find more in the link below about the necessity of specific foods to support safe digestion for me and others with complex physical conditions.)

The food source was especially kind to let us post-date a check at our last pickup, but to support the needs of that food source, that payment must go through before we can buy more.

Another $500 buys us replacement foods so that we can ensure I and our group members can be fed.

Because of the generosity of paid subscribers and readers who have made investments and donations to help us out, we've got $200 of this.

We are seeking out and welcoming in $800 more to cover the post-dated check and a new purchase to prevent us running out of food — as we are quickly nearing the end of what remains.

Can you help us out?

The post below includes a link to contact information and more donations information for our 508c1a non-profit organization.

In any way that I and we can support you in return for your generosity, please say.

Building true relationships is the most important part of all of this. We want you to have your needs met too.

From our hearts to yours, thank you.

This is a time of huge challenges and huge blessings.

We haven't yet found the money necessary to replace the medical food that was lost during the 8-day electrical outage in Pittsburgh.

"You have to learn the language bridging in order to even realize they're actually all around you.

And they all have war stories that need to be told so that the war can be over."

At intersections of compounded economic exclusion, we triage with the resources we have; and we often must minimize damage by remedying part of one emergency situation in a bare-minimum-viable way that intensifies a different emergency situation.

In this case, we absolutely had to replace some of the special foods I and others require for survival — so whatever we could replace without a larger investment, we did so.

As mentioned 2 weeks back, the small, unpredictable, and hard-won funds that severely impacted group members had previously — heroically — brought to our efforts have been significantly interrupted and compromised by recent events.

We’re reaching out now for emergency assistance keeping hot running water in this location.
