Welcome to everyone stopping by. We hope that you are here because you have a willingness and a need to try and make our communities better places to live.
I (Seth) have to apologize for not keeping this movement rolling forward. We were going so strong for so long and then, for myriad reasons, I settled into a pretty nasty bout of depression and, honestly, my alcoholism took over.
I have struggled with alcoholism for many, many years now. My propensity for drinking, coupled with the fact that I have been unable to find a job for 9 months, sent me spiraling downward. I lost the ability to act on anything. It was a major struggle just to get out of bed in the morning.
I, with a world of help from Michelle (thank you, sweetheart), am starting to turn things around now. Between medication and counseling, I am feeling great and getting stronger everyday. I am ready to restart this movement and get things rolling again.
Again, I apologize if I let anyone down. I hope that I can start to make a difference again.
Over the next few days, we will be updating our project list and will also be sending out emails to our volunteers (read: neighbors) so that we can get moving on some projects. Please let us know if you can help or if you know of any projects that we could get involved with.
I struggled with whether or not to talk about my problems on here. I thought about it for some time. I finally decided to, partially, in hopes that it may help someone else if they are going down a similar road. None of us are immune to having problems and it's good to remind yourself of that every now and then. We are all human and very prone to not always making the right decisions.
Please feel free to write us at wevegottimetohelp@q.com with any questions you have or to sign up for our email updates. We will be sending out some emails in the next few days describing some new projects and updates on others.
Thank you to everyone who has continued to help their neighbors and have done all they can to help their communities.
Take care and we hope to see you all soon!
Seth and Michelle

Hi Seth - Thanks for the update and for being so honest. It reminds us that we all have our ups and downs, but that things will get better. Hang in there. Now that my kids are back in school, I will have more time to help and I look forward to seeing you all again.
Seth, I wish you (and Michelle!) nothing but the best. You are a brave man for sharing this news, and I wish you strength and wellness. Take care of yourself. A virtual hug to you both from Ohio.
