Going crazy in quarantine? Do you, your kids, your quarantined cuties need something to do? There are so many elderly in facilities who are on lockdown and isolated from family, friends and volunteers who cannot visit. You know how they feel. Send them some love:

• Send a note
• Mail a postcard
• Take a picture of your dog, lizard, bird, ferret, octopus and show them how proud you are of your baby
• Make some individual, incredible art and mail it
• Write a poem and share it
• Create a meaningful message of hope and put it out there
• Scrawl a favorite Bible verse
• Draw your dog or cat and share it with them (don't tell the cat, they don't take it as well as the dog will)

Contact me if you'd like to help. There are so many who would benefit from hearing from you, and it just might make you feel a little better knowing that you made someone's day and took their mind off being alone, isolated and uncertain about this future. Give them hope.

Hospice patients and residents at these facilities would so appreciate a note from you! Knowing that you care about them, and that they're not alone would really make their day. Your note will take their mind away from this situation where they have no control. Please contact me if you'd like to send a card or a thousand cards and I'll give you some facility addresses where the residents are just waiting to hear from you.

Do you want to help the community but don't know how because of social distancing or quarantine (or you just don't want to be around people)? Contact me to find out how!
