🙃 I went *one day* without Someone-Is-Wrong-on-the-Internet-ing it. FFS.
But I popped on because have a question for you folks. A friend was in a terrible accident. Cane sugar processing machine caught her arm. She didn't lose it, but it's bad, and she's quite poor. She's been recovering at home.
Tomorrow I'm visiting with the biggest bag of rice I can carry, & panela & powdered milk. But for folks who've been laid up, is there a comfort item (medical, cosmetic) that made a difference for you?
@MLClark Oh my gosh, i'm so sorry for your friend! 😢 I've never been seriously ill (well not like her at least) but all i can think of is that when people here are sick or grieving, a meal is made for them. That, or offering to do some stuff for her that she might find difficult to do right now (cleaning, washing, etc.).
Acts of service are wonderful. 🤗 I will see what's possible when I get there. The poor sometimes live in *very* dingy conditions, and I don't want her to feel ashamed for the state of things when I arrive. It will be a delicate balancing act for sure!
@MLClark You're a good friend. Just making this post and thinking about what she might need is incredibly thoughtful, and i hope she's willing to take help so she has a better chance of getting the best results for the degree of injury her arm has.
