What’s going on? My friend is the loveliest of people. She has devoted her life caring for others in their times of need in big and small ways, always looking out for friends, family, and community. But she has now been sick for several years now and could really use a boost of warm-hearted community support to help remind her of other good, caring people. No religious sentiments, please. Letters can be addressed to "Dear Friend" (or equivalent).
What do you love most about this girl? My friend embodies kindness. She has helped shelter homeless folks, lovingly cared for foster children, acted as surrogate family for those whose parents weren't able, and helped support local schools. If others need her, she has been there. But the COVID period and beyond were deeply isolating, especially due to her elongated illness and resultingly, the necessity that she step back from public life, and she feels forgotten by folks she cared for with such attention and selflessness.
P.S. Thank you for all you do! My friend, although outwardly so generous, is an introvert at heart (humble) and would not feel comfortable with sharing any identifying information in connection with her story-- although we know many folks are experiencing it too. In deep appreciation for all you do.
