Everyone loves a clean house. That's about all there is to say about that.
Why We Love This Gift:  This gift is a terrific one for anyone anywhere. Absolute convenience and versatility. (And such a gift). There are so many ways in which this gift works for everyone. In a medical crisis, for example, an orderly house is critical especially if treatment renders someone immune-compromised. For a single parent trying to keep up with things a clean house can be a major stress buster. Seniors living alone could often use a little help in the deep clean department.
What To Express in Your Card: I am thinking of you. How can I be most helpful?

Give anyone you love a ride, anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it affords people the opportunity to get around. Safely. We love that. For people who are in treatment and too sick to get home from the doctor, to people who are no longer comfortable driving at night, this gift empowers people.
What To Express In Your Card: I know that transport can be complicated. I wanted to make sure that you could get around easily. I wish I were there to do this myself - but in case you need this as a convenience on your terms - here you are! Sending love.

Why We Love This Gift: Need a handyman for two hours? Done. We love to ease the worry of people we love who may live too far away.

<a href="https://instacart.oloiyb.net/c/1246143/413183/7412" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instacart</a> is a grocery delivery service that delivers in as little as an hour. They connect you with Personal Shoppers in your area who pick up and deliver your groceries from your favorite local stores.
Why We Love This Gift: Shopping for groceries is a chore under the best of circumstances. For families facing a new lift event or crisis, it is very often incredibly stressful. The gift of a cupboard full of basic necessities is tremendous. It is a wonderful way to remind those you love that you have not forgotten the day-to-day challenges they face. You are telling them in no uncertain terms that they are not alone.
What to Express in Your Card: I was thinking about the things you have to get done every day. I hope you'll let me help a little by giving me a chance to buy you some groceries - and have them delivered to you. Just one lest task for you to worry about. I send you my love.

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. Pregnancy cravings are no joke. Neither is the stress level of a single parent on a school night. Young professionals who get sick often hate the loss of their own agency. The capacity to choose one's own dinner is not to be underestimated. Nothing says I love you like Pad Thai.
What To Express in Your Card: I wanted you to be able to choose your own meal. I am thinking of you!

Rinse started serving customers in 2013. Rinse now offers dry cleaning, and general laundry services for people who live in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston and the D.C. metro area. Pick up and delivery are included in pricing.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because laundry, while necessary, often amounts to an expensive hassle. This is especially true when busy families have too many balls in the air. A little act that lightens a familial load (pun intended) can pull someone back from the brink. (The best).
What To Express in Your Card: I know you have too many things to do all at the same time. I hoped you would let me do this one thing.

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

What To Express in Your Card: Get well soon! Rest up and eat up. When you have finished binge-watching The Americans don't tell me what happened. I'm not done yet.

This is the perfect gift for any family or any loved one with medical needs. Send help to those you love to provide care in the form of a CVS e-gift card.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because everyone has medical needs from time to time. Often, medical insurance with high deductibles eats into the ability of a family to cover unanticipated medical expenses. An e-gift card ensures that those you love get that which they need to heal - with adequate respect for their privacy. Perfect. This is very useful in any medical crisis in very specific ways. Supplements useful in various treatments are expensive and not covered. This is applicable to surgical patients, cancer patients, pediatric patients, and more. Medical equipment can be ordered - such as canes or walkers and your recipient can pay using their gift card.
What To Express in Your Card: What else do you need me to do? At the ready. xo

"My Kidney's Going to California!" A Living Organ Donor Story

One year ago this month, in March 2021, my daughter and I drove to South Carolina to see my dad. At one point, she was driving, so I checked Facebook to while away the time and I see that my friend and fellow writer Kelly Hartog had posted a plea for a kidney.
