What is FairWestWork?
A social and business experiment to increase how much I, Nicholas Hamill RN, am connected to the Fair West neighborhood by doing work in the neighborhood and collaborating with neighbors who think that's cool.
What work does FWW do?
Most anything in the Fair West neighborhood and nearby. Seriously, lets talk and do work together.
Putting attention to vacant or substandard homes in the neighborhood to understand why and to take action towards improving the situation (e.g. establishing contact with owner, identifying the immediate roadblocks from home being livable and assisting the owner with overcoming the roadblocks on a case-by-case basis)
Basic handyman and yard work for home/business
Tech guidance(phones, laptops, networking, understanding the internet, etc). I was previously a system admin at an Inet Service Company and computer programmer.
Conflict mediation between neighbors (myself included!). Overlaps with walking workshops.
Nursing work
Discussing upcoming health decisions, crafting goals and possibly joining your meetings with doctors and family. Having a personal nurse who is focused on understanding and advocating for your interests.
Finishing thoughts
From the depth of need and despair, people can work together, can organize themselves to solve their own problems and fill their own needs with dignity and strength.
A community can use all the skills of its people
Simple is good. I aim to use phones, inet and computers to facilitate tangible, real-world work in Fair West.
