A couple of weeks ago, Ellis was struck by a vehicle while crossing the street. They sustained a concussion,  have a fracture in their spine requiring a brace as well as needing to use a walker while their sprains and strains heal. These injuries are making daily tasks very challenging and have limited mobility in walking and bending. 

Home services: 
Light house cleaning (dishes, kitchen counters, sweeping) 
Cleaning and tidying bedroom 
Organizing and downsizing items in bedroom and corner of basement 

Transportation: 
Errands on my behalf or with me: 
Food shopping between meal drop-offs
Picking up meds 
Getting to and from appointments 

This initial calendar is set up for the next two weeks and then we will assess needs moving forward. 

If someone could set up a table with a small cooler on it, meals could be placed inside of it in case Ellis is not available at time of delivery.

Ellis does have a bit of freezer space if anyone wanted to bring frozen meals for future preparation.

Give the gift of take-out. Seriously, the perfect gift for any situation.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it is take-out and everyone loves take-out. It gives your recipient the flexibility to order exactly what they want, when they want it.

The capacity to choose one's own dinner is not to be underestimated. Nothing says I love you like Pad Thai.

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.
