Most people wait until a crisis to discover they have no one to call. This is how to build the network before that moment arrives: the neighbors worth actually knowing, the small favors that create real trust, how to ask for help without feeling like a burden, and why reciprocity matters more than gratitude. Practical guidance for building the kind of support that shows up when you need it most.
