The Long Stay
The Audit (Pre-Scenario)
What sleeping space could you offer to a displaced family of 5?
Assess food infrastructure for feeding 9 people for 45 days:
The Crisis Night
2:17 AM. Martinez house โ three doors down โ is on fire. Sarah, Tom, three kids (Maya 4, Lucas 7, Emma 11), dog Max in your driveway in pajamas. Red Cross blankets. Hotel voucher for 3 nights.
After 3 nights, it's your problem or nobody's problem. What do you say?
The First Days
Sarah is in your kitchen. 'What can I do?'
What protocols do you establish?
The Friction Zone
It's week 2. Check all that are happening:
Tom: 'I can't just sit here. I'm a carpenter. What needs fixing?'
The Long Middle
Network is waking up around your hosting. Check what's happening:
Farmer's market together. Nine people walking as a group. Stranger says: 'What a beautiful big family!' Nobody corrects them. Something shifts.
Sarah: 'Let's clean this whole house. All of us. Together.' Music on. Everyone takes a zone. Ninety minutes. House feels better than before they arrived.
The Transition
Day 32. Tom: 'We found an apartment. We can move Saturday.'
Friday night. Tom brought wine. Sarah made brownies. Emma (11) gives speech: 'You're in our family now.' Everyone cries.
Sunday. They're gone. House too quiet. Card on counter: 'You're in our family now. Always.'
