[mamafoxof3]

I live in the Greater Kansas City area (on the Kansas side), and have lived her for many years so I'm pretty familiar with the area. I'm 15 minutes from Mid-America Nazarene, 30 or so from University of Missouri-Kansas City & Kansas Univ Med center. University of Kansas is about 30 to 45 minutes away, too. Some smaller Kansas schools that are within a 2 hour drive are Pittsburg State Univ (where my son will graduate from next December, go go Gorillas), Washburn in Topeka, Ottawa University in Ottawa, Kansas, and Baker University in Baldwin City.

My post totals are pretty low, but that's because I just discovered this wonderful board. My daughter was accepted to Brown, and Vermont, and we're waiting to see about Univeristy of Rhode Island-Kingston & New Hampshire before making a decision (if money weren't an option, it would be Brown, hands down).

I love helping people, and I promise I'm not a complete freak. Email is probably the best way to reach me.

[soproudofkids]

Great format and great idea.

I have not posted much to the parents board, I mostly watch the boards for the schools that my kids are applying to. But I have a son who is a sophomore at Wash U St. Louis and twins applying this year, and I have been a nurse for 21 years, the last 18 at Children's Hospital Boston. So I work in downtown Boston and we live in Metrowest Boston. I'd be happy to dive in and rescue anyone who's at a school in the Boston area, I've added my name below next to several schools. You can reach me via PM.

[George2007]

Nice idea but would you really call a total stranger to help with your child's emergency rather than contacting somebody in authority at the school to help? The school where my two D's attend have an office dedicated to just these things with a cell phone number that can be call at any time.

You just never know when being ble to contct someone "on the ground" may be helpful. This is not limited to hands-on involvement in an emergency.

Does anyone have an anecdote they wish to share?

[George2007]

Yes, here's one: one of your sources for help is a high school senior:

I'm a high school senior who lives five minutes away from Furman University in South Carolina. . .PM me!

And in fact you took this and listed it without any screening

[mafool]

Well, I'd feel pretty comfortable contacting said HS senior if I wanted to know what restaurants to contact for gift cards.

If one were to contact a volunteer on this list, it would only be prudent to check out their posts first. And, of course, to have a healthy caution.

Still, I like knowing that someone who has shown herself to be consistantly helpful has listed herself near my son. If he needed a dentist Right-Now I would not hesitate to ask for her recommendation. And I would hope that I could be helpful to others, should the need arise.

And, as it happens, there was a thread a while back about someone whose student DID need emergency dental help (I think!) and the office in question at the school was not open or was otherwise not in a position to help. (Sorry, I'm too lazy to check the reference!)
