For most of my life, I have repeatedly fallen through the cracks because of the extremely bizarre and niche circumstances of my life (grew up on aristocrat grandmother's country estate raised by her servants, parents fled the country at 4 with me, learned English at 5, audited university lectures at 8, kidnapped at 9 and it took until the age of 34 for my life to stabilize.) and suffered from various physical, mental and psychological ailments. My new immigrant and financially precarious parents were essentially helpless in helping me find anyone who could relate to me let alone help me with my of my problems. It feels very lovely to be in a position now to help others going through similar problems. The worst feeling in the world is to be a powerless as a parent as your children slip through the cracks.It is very ad hoc and early stage right now, but I am running at least 5 inter-related groups:1. Parents of Children Who are Going Blind from Degenerative Diseases2. Parents of Children Traumatized by Life3. Parents of Neurodiverse Children4. Solo parents looking for co-parenting/playdate logistic easing partners/groups5. Humanitarian family orientated people looking to be matchmade based off of upper class political marriage sensibilities.Family, Parenting, Children. These are all sacred and there are so many possible points of failure. I envision having services and community cradle to grave. Where there are existing services we will a directory of some sort. Where there are gaps like with arranging political marriages for the masses that do not interface with old families, providing preventative marriage coaching, etc. we will fill ourselves if necessary. Understanding other people is hard. Cultural, ethnic, generational, psychological, class, caste, religious, etc. differences are all points of failure. I'd love to fund an AI to teach humans to understand each other long term. English to English translator.
