How does Meredith Masony's online community support her during travel mishaps?

When I hit those inevitable travel bumps—like the epic family road trip where our check engine light came on, we had a $400 repair, had to extend our stay in Salt Lake City, and I changed my flight—my online community shows up in a huge way.

People messaged offering to pick me up, help with my kids, and even give my family a place to stay. Moments like that remind me how strong and generous this community is, and how none of us is really doing this parenting and life thing alone.

What kind of support do you usually look for from online communities when life goes sideways?
