When we have a friend going through a difficult time, something most of us will say is "Let me know if you need anything"

And while our intentions our good, it puts the burden back on the person who needs help.

Susan Palmer joins John to talk about the app she has founded - Gather My Crew - which aims to make it easier for people to reach out to friends in need.

Listen to John Stanley live Monday to Thursday from 8pm-12am on 2GB/4BC.
