@marcos.diaz
some of you already know me but if you don't, my name's marcos and i thought i'd do this since my name got mentioned a few times on another post and i've had one person message me.
back home, i helped organize and lead a group of people who were ostracized and hunted because of who they are and what they can do. they were imprisoned and experimented on and my main goal was to keep them safe and to give them as close to normal lives as possible.
i'm trying to do the same thing here. the people and situation are different but that doesn't mean they don't need help. so, to that extent, my main goals are to:
- ensure the safety of those that can't protect themselves. this is basically making sure they have adequate shelter so they have places to go in a time of crisis. that they know who is there to help them and who to reach out to if there's a need.
- provide food and other resources to those that aren't able to get them on their own. i don't know if you anyone's been to the red light district but the people there are good, helpful people. but they don't have a lot of access to things that others might. so, i try and make sure they know where to get food or medical attention. i've made contact with a lot of the sex workers there and they keep an eye on things for me and i help them in return. it's simple. no one needs to die because they can't eat or they get an infection from a small cut.
- improve the infrastructure of the city. we had a lot of buildings damaged awhile back and some of you were here when we did some rebuilding a few weeks ago. hopefully we don't have to do that again but if we do, that's something i'll try and help organize.
- be there. a lot of these people just need to know someone's there for them. they don't know where to go or who to turn to. so, just being around and being present is big for them.
this isn't the all of what i'm trying to do but it's some big points. i'm not trying to take away from anything else that people want to do. i just wanted to outline a little of what i've been working on and if you want to help, you can help. feel free to let me know here or you can speak to me in my inbox.
