Welcome to our meal train for Shawn and her family. Mom, as many of you know, is sharp, always on the go, and used to being active, so being “basically jacked up for a couple months,” as she puts it, has given her a major case of cabin fever! Right now, meals are a huge help as she focuses on resting, and my dad juggles his job and all the household tasks.

If you’d like to support, easy-to-heat meals that don’t create a pile of dishes would be especially appreciated (you know how much Dad loves dishes!). Simple, nourishing meals are ideal to help keep things smooth and manageable for both of them.

Thank you for pitching in and helping her get through her “slow season” with a little less stress and a lot of support. We all appreciate it!

You are telling them in no uncertain terms that they are not alone.

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo

Since 1971, Starbucks Coffee Company has been committed to ethically sourcing and roasting the highest quality arabica coffee in the world. Today, with stores around the globe, the company is the premier roaster and retailer of specialty coffee in the world.
Why We Love This Gift: Because it is coffee. We love this gift for that reason, but also because coffee (and tea) can facilitate conversation. People stop and talk over coffee and tea. Barista-made cups of coffee or steaming cups of hot tea are among life's "little" indulgences - the kind of thing that lifts people up. They are also among the first things people slash from tight budgets. Help them put it back. This gift is suitable for anyone to whom you want to express concern, consideration, or love. Also, here is a hot tip: teenagers love Starbucks. It is a great gift for a teenager.
What to Express in Your Card: I was just thinking about you as you grapple with recent events. I hope you will take a break and enjoy a cup of coffee - I know you are a latte fan. Maybe we can even meet for a cup? I'd love to know how you are doing and what I can do to be helpful. I send you lots of love.

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.

Why We Love This Gift: This is a great gift for anyone. Teenagers love it as much as kids do. The versatility is tremendous. One mom told our editors that during her daughter's pediatric cancer treatment, the option to use screens enabled her to communicate with doctors without alarming her child. As much as parents would prefer kids don't spend too much time on a screen it is sometimes necessary. (And you can store files, listen to music, and and ....)
What To say In Your Card: I wasn't sure what you needed, but music (or other distractions) sometimes help. I thought you might be able to keep this in your back pocket. Thinking of you.

Forget Me Not Gift Boxes from Laurelbox

Beautiful gift boxes for someone who is experiencing a difficult transition. Boxes can contain inspirational reminders of love and support, candles, journals, self-care items and much more.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it enables a box of care items to be delivered to a recipient that has been curated by the giver. This enables flexibility in giving so that each item can be selected to suit any difficult situation. People who wish to express complex feelings often report getting tripped up in a fear of saying "the wrong thing." Many report, though, that once they begin to try to express themselves they are glad they did. And across the board, those navigating difficult circumstances, report that the worst thing that people can say is nothing at all.
What To Express in Your Card: I am thinking of you constantly. I feel a bit powerless to help you. These are a few things I thought might help a little. And, more than anything else I want you to know that I am thinking of you and holding you close.
