DAY 9 - ASK FOR HELP

T​oday, I started gathering things for the dog shelter. I went through what I already had and started thinking about what else I could add. As I was sorting everything out, I realized I might need some help to really make a difference. At first, I wasn’t sure about asking for help—it’s not something I do often plus I was a bit scared that it would sound pushy—anyhow I decided to give it a try.
I reached out to a mix of people—family, friends, colleagues, former students, and others on my phone list in general. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much, but I was so happy when people responded. Some offered to help, and others just had a chat with me about it and life in general. I was thrilled to reconnect with a few people I hadn’t spoken to in a while, which was really nice.
By the end of the day, I was glad I’d asked. It reminded me that I don’t always have to do everything on my own. And that asking for help isn’t just about getting things done—it’s also about connecting with people. Today, that really made a difference.

PS. If I haven't reached out to you but you'd be interested in getting involved just a tiny bit. Read on and please feel free to reach out to me if you need more info. Endless thanks.

​❗❗❗Hey everyone—friends, fam, colleagues, students, and anyone else who’s up for helping out!

🐕🐶🐕‍🦺 🦴This weekend, I’m heading to the Ruda Śląska dog shelter to give them a little extra support before winter kicks in. There are loads of animals there who need food and care, and I thought, why not get more of us involved?
If you, your family, or your workplace want to chip in, it’s super easy—just grab some good-quality dog food (Allegro works great!) and send it my way by the end of the week. I’ll take it all to the shelter when I go. We can sort out the delivery details if you’re in—just let me know! 🐾❤ Thanks!
