Our dear friend Emily just lost her father after recently losing her mother. She is currently in Israel with family and will be returning to New York on Sunday, October 25. We’ve created this page to come together as a community and support Emily as she navigates this incredibly difficult time. Our goal is to make her transition back home a little easier by taking some everyday responsibilities off her plate. We’re primarily organizing meal deliveries, but we’ve also included options to contribute gift cards and help with household services, such as cleaning. Any contribution, big or small, is appreciated. Most importantly, we want Emily to feel loved and supported while giving her the space and privacy she needs to grieve. Thank you for helping us take care of our friend. ❤️
Dietary Preferences: Emily generally prefers vegetarian or vegan meals and tends to eat gluten-free. Please keep these preferences in mind when selecting or preparing food. Meal Deliveries: Emily lives in a New York City apartment with a roommate, so refrigerator and freezer space are limited. Please sign up for a specific date and avoid sending large quantities of food at once. Deliveries spread throughout the coming weeks will be most helpful. Visiting Restrictions: Please do not stop by unannounced. Emily may need time and space to herself, and any visits should be arranged directly with her in advance. Meals and other contributions should be delivered without the expectation of a visit or response. Other Ways to Help: Gift cards for food delivery, groceries, or household services are also wonderful options, particularly for those who aren’t local.
