5 ways to be the hands and feet to someone who really needs it. ⬇️
1. Send the text you keep thinking about sending. “Just checking in on you today" can go a long way.
2. Drop off a meal without making someone host you, too. Leave it on the front porch, shoot them a text that's waiting, and let them enjoy it.
3. Offer specific help. “Can I pick up groceries or take care of dinner this week?” Make it easy for them.
4. Keep checking in after the initial crisis passes. Most people forget. Be the one who remembers.
5. Sit with someone without feeling the need to fix everything. Presence is more important than perfect words.
