Earlier this week Andrew received a confirmation of just how fragile and precious life can be when his SUV was t-boned in an intersection in Owensboro. Thanks to this accident, he had several injuries , including a broken femur and collar bone and a totaled vehicle. Getting back to walking will be a challenge but Andrew is a trooper and has a positive mindset for healing.

Target - Target Gift Card

<a href="https://instacart.oloiyb.net/c/1246143/413183/7412" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instacart</a> is a grocery delivery service that delivers in as little as an hour. They connect you with Personal Shoppers in your area who pick up and deliver your groceries from your favorite local stores.
Why We Love This Gift: Shopping for groceries is a chore under the best of circumstances. For families facing a new lift event or crisis, it is very often incredibly stressful. The gift of a cupboard full of basic necessities is tremendous. It is a wonderful way to remind those you love that you have not forgotten the day-to-day challenges they face. You are telling them in no uncertain terms that they are not alone.
What to Express in Your Card: I was thinking about the things you have to get done every day. I hope you'll let me help a little by giving me a chance to buy you some groceries - and have them delivered to you. Just one lest task for you to worry about. I send you my love.

Give the gift of take-out. Seriously, the perfect gift for any situation.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it is take-out and everyone loves take-out. It gives your recipient the flexibility to order exactly what they want, when they want it. Pregnancy cravings are no joke. Neither is the stress level of a single parent on a school night. Young professionals who get sick often hate the loss of their own agency. The capacity to choose one's own dinner is not to be underestimated. Nothing says I love you like Pad Thai.
What To Express in Your Card: I wanted you to be able to choose your own meal. I am thinking of you!

Grubhub

Grubhub - Grubhub Gift Card

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo

What To Express In Your Card: I know that transport can be complicated. I wanted to make sure that you could get around easily. I wish I were there to do this myself - but in case you need this as a convenience on your terms - here you are! Sending love.

Give a gift your loved ones are sure to love. Home Chef takes the work out of making dinner. Their weekly deliveries of fresh, perfectly-portioned ingredients and easy-to-follow recipes make dinner special and simple to prepare.
Why We Love This Gift: Managing a crisis - or even just facing challenging but navigable circumstances - is much easier with tangible support. A meal kit delivered and ready to cook enables those in need of support to fill their house with the smell of a warm, nutritious, and tasty meal - without having to plan or shop for it. This is a great gift for people in the sandwich generation - those caring for kids and aging parents. It is a great gift for a single parent who loves taking care of things - but could do with a lightening of the load.
What to Express in Your Card: I was thinking about how much you have to do - work, kids. How is your mom doing living independently? I wanted just to say that I am always so amazed at how you keep it all together. I wanted to send you a meal just to say that you are amazing. I send it along with lots of love.

"My Kidney's Going to California!" A Living Organ Donor Story

One year ago this month, in March 2021, my daughter and I drove to South Carolina to see my dad. At one point, she was driving, so I checked Facebook to while away the time and I see that my friend and fellow writer Kelly Hartog had posted a plea for a kidney. I knew [&hellip;]
