OldGardener,
I'm fully into helping people who lost their garden due to any catastrophe, but I think that must be handled separately, because some people will take advantage of that. Only the members living in the same region can say if their request is okay. If someone in Europe has a request, I can handle that, but not if someone in the USA or other parts of the world request for seeds because of a catastrophe.
It may seem I'm very leery, but I have quite a lot of experience with greedy people. I love to share my seeds, do send my seeds to charitable institutions (after checking them), often don't need equal trades, but as soon as greedy people come in, I have a problem with that.
