Dear Red Mill School,

I want to share that one of our families has experienced a devastating loss as their home was destroyed by a fire. They will be residing with friends and family for the next few months. I had a conversation with Mrs. Greider today, and she mentioned that they have been dining out frequently. Any contribution you can provide would be greatly appreciated. The family enjoys meals from Chipotle, Panera, and Firehouse Subs, but they would be thankful for any support.

Additionally, they lost many belongings in the fire and frequently shop at Target, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Barnes &amp; Noble.

Please consider extending your help.

Sincerely,
Tina

Give the gift of doing with a Home Depot Gift Card. They are ideal for any occasion.
For those who have lost homes because of natural disasters or an elderly person you love in need of a home renovation (a ramp), a Home Depot Gift Card says a great deal. You can use it to budget project expenses and easily track your purchases online.
Why We Love This Gift: Houses are always in need of a little repair. This is an excellent gift for returning servicemen and women as home repairs can be necessary and/or therapeutic to varying degrees. For people trying to extend the independent living of their aging loved one, little things around the house make a difference. Things like rails near the toilet, a ramp, and similar house renovations can make a big difference. People recovering from stroke often need bathrooms and stairs to be retrofitted to help them in their long-term recovery or rehabilitation. For a family with a newly-mobile toddler, installing a gate or bolting a bookshelf to the wall are both helpful beyond measure. The possibilities are endless.
What To Express in Your Card: How can I be most helpful?

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

Since 1971, Starbucks Coffee Company has been committed to ethically sourcing and roasting the highest quality arabica coffee in the world. Today, with stores around the globe, the company is the premier roaster and retailer of specialty coffee in the world.
Why We Love This Gift: Because it is coffee. We love this gift for that reason, but also because coffee (and tea) can facilitate conversation. People stop and talk over coffee and tea. Barista-made cups of coffee or steaming cups of hot tea are among life's "little" indulgences - the kind of thing that lifts people up. They are also among the first things people slash from tight budgets. Help them put it back. This gift is suitable for anyone to whom you want to express concern, consideration, or love. Also, here is a hot tip: teenagers love Starbucks. It is a great gift for a teenager.
What to Express in Your Card: I was just thinking about you as you grapple with recent events. I hope you will take a break and enjoy a cup of coffee - I know you are a latte fan. Maybe we can even meet for a cup? I'd love to know how you are doing and what I can do to be helpful. I send you lots of love.

Every season starts at Dick's Sporting Goods! With the best collection of sporting goods, apparel, and footwear, Dick's Sporting Goods includes all of your indoor or outdoor sporting needs.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because sports are an excellent way for children (or adults) to blow off steam while grieving, especially during stressful times. Sports commitments, gear, tournament fees - all of it - can be an enormous resource suck for families. Cleats purchased in the fall no longer fit in the spring. This gift provides a family struggling financially with the means to facilitate positive coping mechanisms for the little ones.
What To Express In Your Card: Sports are so great for your children during this time. I know how quickly you need new sports equipment for their upcoming season. I hope this helps.
