Why I Created Mark Helps Griffin

My name is Mark Rosenthal, and I've lived in Griffin, Georgia, my entire life. I love this community and the people who call it home.

I live with Multiple Sclerosis and am disabled, so I spend a lot of my free time online. Over the years, I've tried to use that time for something positive—helping people, running local Facebook discussion groups, sharing useful information, and connecting people with resources they may not have known were available.

That's why I created Mark Helps Griffin.

This website brings together local organizations, programs, services, community groups, and other useful resources in one easy place. I don't provide most of these services myself. My goal is simply to make them easier to find.

If this website helps even one person find the help or information they need, then it has done what I created it to do.
