Our dear friend Katie is scheduled for a double hip replacement on September 24th. If you know Katie, you know she is pure sunshine — the warmest heart, the happiest spirit, and always the first to show up for her friends and family. Now it’s our turn to wrap our arms around her and help during this important recovery time. Katie will be home in Manchester Center starting September 29th, and she’ll need lots of rest and care as she heals. How We Can Help: • Local Meals: Homemade dinners are such a gift. (Freezer-friendly meals and simple reheating instructions are especially appreciated.) • From Afar: Since Manchester doesn’t have food delivery services (like Door Dash), sending gift card for local favorites (Zoey’s Deli, Gringo Jack’s, The Silver Fork, Roadrunner, Depot Street Burgers, Sam’s Wood Fired Pizza, and The Avocado Pit) is a wonderful way to contribute. Amazon and Visa gift cards are also helpful. • Other Support: If you’d like, sign up for errands, play dates with Ainslie, grocery runs, or even just to drop off flowers or a note of encouragement. Every bit of love matters. Local Meal Delivery: Meals can be left on in the cooler that will be on the front porch. Please include your name and reheating instructions. Thank you for helping surround Katie with love, comfort, and nourishment during her recovery. She deserves every ounce of care we can give as she starts this next beautiful chapter! 💛
