Hi, my name is Elizabeth and I'm a proud single mother to 3 small children.

On 12/18, about 10 pm, I was T-boned, losing our only form of transportation and leaving us severely injured. My hair was ripped out from hitting the windshield, my youngest daughter had surgery due to the bad lacerations to the head and an additional surgery to repair two tendons in the hand allowing her to move her fingers and my oldest daughter underwent testing to rule out internal bleeding in the abdomen.

This caught us right before Christmas, and we were already behind on bills from my broken foot 2 weeks ago. Now, I have to figure out meals, transportation and money for the thousands in medical bills that I know are coming.

I know everyone is struggling, so if you can't donate, I get it. But even the smallest contribution of a meal can take a ton of stress off of our family. God bless you all.

This is the perfect gift for any family or any loved one with medical needs. Send help to those you love to provide care in the form of a CVS e-gift card.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because everyone has medical needs from time to time. Often, medical insurance with high deductibles eats into the ability of a family to cover unanticipated medical expenses. An e-gift card ensures that those you love get that which they need to heal - with adequate respect for their privacy. Perfect. This is very useful in any medical crisis in very specific ways. Supplements useful in various treatments are expensive and not covered. This is applicable to surgical patients, cancer patients, pediatric patients, and more. Medical equipment can be ordered - such as canes or walkers and your recipient can pay using their gift card.
What To Express in Your Card: What else do you need me to do? At the ready. xo

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.
