In **one paragraph**, answer: - Who needs to hear your community’s story? - What happens if no one tells it? - What would change if your voice was amplified? This is about clarity — not perfection.

All affected members of the community need to hear this story. Recovery would be delayed, if no one tells the story. With an amplified voice, recovery could be accelerated, more people would be aware of available resources, and the sense of community would still be maintained, as people share information, gather together and help each other.
