.attempt a meeting to deliver aid and comfort in person. They will do this in all sincerity. They should probably take a friend along.
I cannot predict the outcome but there is a sad history at DU of certain persons taking advantage of the good-heartedness of the community, right up until it all falls apart. One involved attempted delivery of a laptop so the person could communicate with the world more effectively. One involved an attempt to shelter someones dear darling doggie for awhile so the owner could get on their feet an animal that turned out to be huge and vicious. I mean, these were long, long sagas. And the sympathy and donations continued right up until someone attempted to intervene in real life.
Yes, I am concerned. Am I a concern troll? No, I am a 20-year member of DU.
All the best to everyone. I mean it.
