🍽️ Meal & Support Guidelines Thank you so much for supporting Wendy during her recovery! A few important notes to help guide your kindness: 🏡 You will receive Wendy’s address once you sign up. It will come in a confirmation email. This will be shared publicly and we did not want her address just “out there." 🚫 Meal drop offs can be made to her home, preferably between 3pm-6pm but flexible to your schedule. Please text Wendy at 704-533-2293 to confirm the time. 🦜 Small portions: Wendy isn’t eating much at a time, so smaller meals or snack sized servings are perfect. 🥗 Heart-healthy meals preferred – Think Mediterranean or keto-style: * Low carb * High protein We know this can feel overwhelming to some, so gift cards are also welcome. See below for list of her favs. Foods to Limit or Avoid: * Saturated and Trans Fats: These are found in fatty meats, full-fat dairy, and many processed foods. * Sodium: Limit salty foods, processed foods, and canned soups. * Added Sugars: Avoid sugary drinks, desserts, and processed snacks. * Processed Foods: Minimize intake of packaged meals, fast food, and other highly processed items. Foods to Focus On: * Lean Protein: Include fish, poultry, and beans. * Fruits and Vegetables: Aim for a variety of colors and nutrients. * Low-Fat Dairy: Opt for low-fat milk, yogurt, and cheese. * Healthy Fats: Include omega-3 fatty acids from oily fish or plant sources.
