Keri is heading into hip surgery and a fairly long recovery. For the first stretch, she will not be driving and will likely need a mix of practical help, good food, and occasional company. We are hoping to make this season a little easier by organizing support in simple, useful ways. The biggest needs will be meals, rides to early appointments, help with a few day-to-day logistics, and some extra support for Enzo and Amara while Keri gets through the first phase of healing. The main support window will begin April 19 and run for about 6 weeks. The first 3 weeks will likely be the time of highest need, with support tapering a bit through weeks 4 to 6. - This page can be used in a few different ways. If you would like to help with a practical task, please **scroll down to the Care Calendar** to sign up for something specific. That is where you can claim things like: * gluten-free meal drop-offs * rides to or from appointments * dog walks * grocery or pharmacy runs * hanging out with **Amara** * helping with **Enzo** * porch drop-offs of supplies or snacks * short visits or check-ins If bringing a meal or taking a calendar task is not the easiest fit, you can also support through **gift cards or donations**. Gift cards for groceries, takeout, meal delivery, coffee, or everyday essentials are all very helpful during recovery. Financial support is also appreciated and can help cover food, transportation, and the many little extra costs that show up during a season like this. For anyone new to Give In Kind, the main thing to know is that the **calendar is below the main page info**, and that is where you can sign up for specific kinds of help. You may also see options for gift cards, wish list items, or donations, depending on what is set up on the page. Please keep things simple, flexible, and low-pressure. Ordinary help is perfect. A meal, a ride, a dog walk, or an hour with Amara can go a very long way right now. Thank you for helping Keri feel supported, cared for, and surrounded by community.
