What do you ask for, when you are in need?

I only have a minute and wanted to ask a question --

When you are in need of support during a crisis in your life, do you ask your circle of support for help?

If you do, what do you ask for?

I know I have a few people IRL and online who have offered their hand of support, and have asked me to let them know if there's anything I need, so they can provide the support I want.  I just don't know what one asks for at a time like this?

I'm curious what you all think? I'm interested in some suggestions.
