Did you have a buddy for dangerous Hurricane Sandy, someone who called to make sure you were ok; that you had bread, milk and medications sufficient to last 4-5 days. Is there someone who offered you hot soup, a warm blanket, a cup of coffee or a place to stay warm over-night? If so, you understand how important it is to know that someone cares. You can be that someone for an elder or a neighbor who is socially isolated!
