All added.

Thank you, and God bless you all that have stated you would be willing to help out anyone in need

I've got a rather broad set of skill-sets ranging from people-handling to mechanical and electrical to a lot of others in between... I'm willing to help too, if you REALLY REALLY.... REALLY need help.

Count me and @TeacherSmurf in for southern Oregon. And if there are no objections, I'm going to sticky this for the time being.

Baby wipes and diapers by the ton for the next few months for my child coming in a few (3-8 weeks!)
Edit, was sorta in jest, we dont need that large an amount but we are planning on getting bunch.

See below: Go for diapers. Or shop at Goodwill and you might be able to find them there.

Rockwood/Fairview. I'll help where I can.

I know we have several members here who are insulin dependent, and we need to be pro active to make sure they have the needed insulin and supplies! At some point, the doctors will be overwhelmed, pharma will be unable to meet the demands, and our friends will be forced into something dangerous! I have reached out to a few I know, and so far, so good, but this is going to get a lot worse before it gets any better!

I'm good on that end too.

As for helping, I've even been running a one room school house for my daycare lady's family for a couple of days. We are all in this together.

We are running low on those alcohol wipes used for my twice a day injections. I'm on chemo and have been able to find theme very sporadically. We've got about a two weeks supply left of them and I've got a few more months of treatment. I'm going to be looking for them in the coming days, hopefully I can find them otherwise I may need some.

I have 6 boxes. Let me know, I will gladly mail you a box if you need it. They are Curad brand. Each box has 100.

Thank you for the offer but last night another member let me know he found some and has already mailed them. @Xrperry, once again thank you!!!

 

[Xrperry]

Glad I could help out

 

[Ura-Ki]

Keep those wipes handy as backups in case anyone else might be in need!

 

[Xrperry]

Rubbing alcohol is in short supply I see

 

[No_Regerts]

Thanks, I'll post back if I'm unable to locate any.
I freaking love this place, it's one of the best communities around.

Unfortunately, I did not find any wipes. I did find 25 saline flushes.

Thank you for looking, I had another member go above and beyond and has already mailed me enough to get me to towards the end of my treatment.

I need a haircut and the shop I go to is closed. It's either embrace the mullet or shave it.

That's exactly what I've been thinking about!

I noticed that the place I go to was open yesterday (around 160th/SE Powell in Portland), $8 and very fast. Pretty freakin' far from Deer Park, but I can get the exact address for anyone interested.

I'm a trucker and run all over the PNW (OR, WA, MT, ID)... if there's something you can't get locally I'll keep an eye-out as I travel. I'm already seeking out baby items for my granddaughter so looking for a few more items is no biggie... just gotta know what to look for.

 

[Hueco]

Also I'm beaverton/Hillsboro and can help after the next 14ish days. Playing it safe after a person in our immediate circle tested pos. Cheers,

Rubbing alcohol is in short supply I see

Denatured alcohol "should" be still available at Home Depot, Lowe's, Paint stores, maybe Bi-Mart etc.

Normally more expensive than isopropyl alcohol, however if someone has a NEED for this type of disinfectant, the price and risk associated with looking for it in stores COULD prove worthwhile.

Folks whom don't have a NEED for such ATM, should just leave it be and go with whichever suitable alternatives you have at home. Wash hands with soap & water, use a rag and whatever normal cleaners on hard surfaces you normally do.

Similar to isopropyl alcohol, 70% is better as a disinfectant over higher concentrations.

So, simply put, cut the denatured alcohol with water appropriately. 30% ish water, 70% ish denatured. 1 cup water, 2 cups denatured. Etc, or any similar method to get there.
