    Description

    My Safety Net Sprung a Leak; Can You Help?

    We would love for you and one other person to step in and support a woman in Windsor with some quick pharmacy picks and drops or grocery runs. We are hoping for two caring neighbors, so no one person has to do too much - those gas prices you know.

    Even the simplest acts would mean the world right now: a quick CVS pickup, a small grocery run or taking a few minutes to stop by and brighten her day. She’s warm, loves to chat, and is full of experiences — she loves dogs, once devoured books, tended beautiful gardens, and played piano before her vision diminished.

    If you can spare even a little time, your help would bring immediate comfort and relief. Please fill out the attached application so we can connect you as soon as possible. Your compassion right now could truly ease her burden. She’s been incredibly well supported but her small support network is suddenly unavailable due to their own unexpected medical situation. She can't drive either due to her limited vision and so for the next little while, she is struggling to manage alone — and this is where your kindness could make a real difference. Sign up today.
