How the Match Desk works (simple and practical)
Step 1: Submit one form and clearly choose your intent: Need Help or Offer Help. Step 2: Our coordinators triage requests by urgency, location, and support type. Step 3: We connect both sides with clear next actions, timelines, and a single accountability owner.
