Once again not doing this for the pixel checks, But have been delivering the below posters to the Vulnerable households in my neighborhood, they might be useful for others to use too.
As myself being someone who is ill, that has been stuck inside since end of January, it does suck. I have my good days and bad. My parents are up there in age, and my mother not in the best of health. I feel like a burden at times when I need their help. My dad has been taking me to my infusions, and sit there the whole time till I am done. I like to cherish all the time I can spend with them. He make sure I have enough food, cleaning supplies. I am Irish and today, I left my house, ordered them Rueben lunches, picked it up and took it to their house to have lunch with them today. It was time I needed, I can't thank them enough. I surprised them a few months ago at my first exhibit I had in many years, and they found out I dedicated it to them. My mom read the write-up and was like who wrote this??? she was moved. I was like, me! They spent all their lives making the world I see was beautiful. Back in October of 2017, when my life was going shitastically bad, my dad he said one thing to me, which was, paint. I have been ever since. I know my time is limited, and I've known for years, you never! take a "gift" for granted. I was given many and I am not hiding them anymore. Each piece is a piece of me, I'll keep doing them, so their are many so others can see how I see things. If this is worth of the gold, sweet. if so, pay it forward to a new player. I know it sucks to start out and not have much, I rather see them get a jump start on fun. would like to know who gets it.

Mmm give me a shout on Discord for your check,I would rather pass it to you then you can pass it on to others if you want to*smiles*
Great post. My girlfriend and I are caregivers for her 75 year old dad. I can say that ordinarily we go through about 4x as much cleaning products as a normal household just to keep things safe and sanitary, this is a requirement for taking care of the elderly even without the virus to worry about. I know that many people have taken their parents out of nursing homes and assisted living and are taking care of seniors with chronic conditions. Due to the supply shortage we can barely get the products we need to keep a safe and healthy house. This must be even worse for seniors living on their own. I really appreciate this thread allowing to bring more awareness to these kinds of things. I would say the best things to do if you are looking to help the elderly are helping with non perishables, person hygiene products, and disinfectants. Also, making sure your parents have access to a webcam or some sort of facetime chat on their phones will be extremely helpful if they are able to communicate with their doctors and friends/family this way. Care for our seniors is heavily talked about but also I feel they are being overlooked during the supply line crisis. Too much talk, not enough action, thanks for everyone in this thread who is doing their part to help seniors out during this time <3.
Ahh hello fefe Some really good advice in there Hope you stay safe Also and just thinking out loud here really...I wonder if there are any tips/Guides on the internet on how to Make your cleaning products go further,or even guides on how to make your own CLeaning Products..

I've been limited to staying at home with the kids but I've been trying to keep everyone calm and trying to keep everyone's attitudes up that this will pass. It gets harder sometimes, especially when I look at the news, but I've found that just turning it off and ignoring the world and concentrating on my immediate family and friends helps. Sometimes I try to talk my friends on FB down from the ledge over this too, there's a lot of unnecessary panic and things going on. Yeah the situation is bad, but most of it because we're making it that way.
@Pedigar Lol yeah I can imagine its a very frightening time for young kids(as I mentioned mine are all grown up(still have to be mindful with them tho)) And being a single parent since they were young I know its not easy....Not sure of the age group of your Kids,There are lots of Nursery/school type places who since they have had to close are doing online activities thru You tube..Doing the kind of things they would be doing in nursery/school..It may keep them entertain for short spells.. And yeah as real as all this is,sometimes we are not helping ourselves thru some selfish actions we make(I know I am guilty of this myself) Anyway sounds like you got your hands full,If nothing else enjoy some quaility time with your kids,Dont forget You dont HAVE to stay indoors..If your lucky eno0ugh to have a garden you can always go outside and spend time in the garden..Good time of year to think about planting flowers and VEg.Or just some old fashioned Digging in the mud*grins* Anyway SLip me a PM on discord and i will hook up with you for your check...
I drink vodka & eat takeaways to keep the local businesses running No need for a check, so sling me a just eat voucher
First off I wanted to thank @Tuneful for inspiring myself and others on the forums to help each other and stick together through these uncertain times. As for myself I've bought enough food to keep myself and my two live in tenants, who are out of work, to last us about a month so we don't need to go out unnecessarily. I've also waved there rent this month to help with there financial burden. This morning I spoke to a mentor and great friend of mine who is in his late 70s and told him if he needed absolutely anything I would get it and deliver for him. He assured me that he was currently all set to stick it out with his wife in his house for the time being but said he wouldn't hesitate to call if anything came up. This is a man that lives for being outside and is one of the toughest people I know. Listening to the uncertainty in his voice I know it must be very difficult for him to stay put. His words to me were " I always thought I'd go falling off a cliff or drowning in the ocean. Never did I imagine a virus could take me out while having to stay in my own home".
I dropped groceries off for my 90+ year old neighbor. Also some fresh squeezed eggs from my chickens and a loaf of sourdough. I also brought him a puzzle- I don't think he plays UO. I noticed he was putting a puzzle together when I visited him a couple months ago. He seemed happy. However, I don't believe he remembered me. Maybe he will next time now that we're puzzle buddies?
@Heath Ahh Glad you posted in here m8 And yeah that must be a huge weight off your tenants minds for sure... Lol by the sounds of that "old"guy he will outlive us all! Contact me thru discord for your check pls m8
@CheesePlease Ahh nice work m8,And nice touch with the Puzzle...I work with older people who have Dementia...Its a awful illness,Some of them Forget who you are 5 mins after last seeing you,I don't mind its my job..I feel awful for there Children and grand kids tho..I just tell them if they only think of you as a friend for 5 mins that's enough(of course I am sure it never is) So yeah please contact me thru Discord for your check m8
Actually just finished some work on this yesterday. My grandmother is in her late eighties and lives a few hours from us. She is scared to leave the house so we drove out there there to do a big Costco run for her. When we got there we found there were 6 other single elderly folks in her building in the same situation. Once we finished with my grandma, we worked our way through the rest. Took all damn day, but the looks on their faces, and the sheer gratitude made it worth it 100%. Now I can rest easy knowing my family is taken care of, but also know we made a difference for a number of others. Now I have to try and get my mom (67) to stay the hell inside her house.
