A care web is a system in which people support each other through reciprocity. They differ from charitable care models in which people with disabilities only receive passive care. Webs are best monitored by the needs and wants of team members to ensure that their needs are adequately addressed. - Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha [1]
“...we shared tools, wrote poetry, and created friendships. SDQ folks regularly mailed each other meds and extra inhalers and adaptive equipment. We shared, when asked, information about what treatments worked for us and what didn’t and tips for winning a disability hearing. We crowdsourced money for folks who needed to replace stolen wheelchairs, detox their houses, get living expenses together for rehab, or get out of unsafe housing situations. People sent care packages and organized visit teams for members they might never have met in person who were in the hospital, rehab, or the psych ward.” - Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, page 26 of Care Webs: Experimenting in creating collective access [2]
