Love for Joni supports the Gray Family as they grieve the loss of their wife, mother, grandmother and a close friend to many. This care calendar is to provide meals, child-care and anything else the family may need in the upcoming days, weeks and months. Anything the Grays need will be posted on the calendar as a way to prevent excess meals, excess visitors etc. Updates will be made depending on their needs at that time. Any PayPal donations will be given directly to the family. Please email for any questions, to see about visiting and post in the discussion any kind words to the family. Feel free to share words of hope or cherished memories.

Happy Bites gift cards offer a fun selection of fast-casual restaurants and cafes that will satisfy your cravings. Happy Bites gift cards are redeemable in-store at these U.S. locations: Panera Bread, Jamba Juice, Noodles &amp; Company, Peet's Coffee and Burger King.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because we really like things that are convenient. This is a great gift for anyone traveling. Food on the road (especially in airports or train stations) adds up. For people on a budget, this is a real concern.
What To Say In Your Card: I wanted to give you a little something that sometimes gets left off the mental budget. I always forget that my kids love Jamba Juice and I am then out 25.00 dollars before we even get on the plane. Thinking of you.

<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.

Get a reliable ride in minutes with the Uber app. This card is redeemable via the Uber app within the U.S. in cities where Uber is available.
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.

On Netflix, there's always something great to watch. Your TV Shows and Movies. Your Way.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because who does not sometimes have reason to binge-watch things? Call The Midwife? This is a terrific way to provide versatile programming for all age groups. Who needs cable? This is perfect for new parents, for aging loved ones, for a woman on bedrest, for a person recovering from surgery. You name it. And nothing about it is trite - a member of the Give InKind team watched her grandfather become ill over the course of years (Parkinson's Disease). As his health declined, he watched a good deal of television.  Offerings then were not especially good. He would have so enjoyed the series now available with a swipe.
What To Express in Your Card: I recommend Call The Midwife. It's fun.

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!

From Jalapeno poppers to portobello mushrooms, TGI Friday has you covered.
Why We Love This Gift: Sometimes, a drink or some mozzarella sticks are just the thing. Editorial staff at Give InKind have been told by more than one person in more than one circumstance (senior care, hospice, and a child in the hospital) that the ability to walk away for a minute from an acutely stressful situation is a major sanity saver.
What To Express in Your Card: I took a look at where you are, and I just wanted to send you a little something to help you take a break. So. Please try to. Ok?

Good at over 25,000 locations nationwide, recipients can use their Spafinder gift card for a massage or facial, yoga or pilates classes, acupuncture or chiropractic, or over 25 total services. Encourage your loved one to take a break for themselves with a wellness gift card they can use anytime. Available in any denomination between $25 - $500.
Why We Love This Gift: This is one of those gifts perfect in just about any situation. New moms and those facing stressful pregnancies love a massage. When facing illness, those affected do too. To be frank, self-care is often the first casualty of any crisis. When people are incurring unexpected costs at an alarming rate, the first thing to go are the "luxuries." However, those who face highly stressful situations with long/uncertain outcome are precisely those who should practice aggressive self-care. They won't do it for themselves. You do it for them. Pamper them. Let them know you want them to take a break and that their well-being is a priority.
What to Express in Your Card: I hope you don't mind my sending you this gift certificate. There is no one I know more in need of a massage/facial/yoga class. I know you won't do it for yourself - so I wanted to do it for you. I am sending you love.
