🙃 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?
😂 It's so nice to have you back.
So sorry about your friend. That sounds horrible. 😔
Besides those necessary foodstuffs and you being there for her? Anything that will make domestic life easier? A pre-prepared food? I don't know what's available/possible there.
🫂 We have to be present if we want things to change, right? Sorry for skittering out on a rough day.
It's so tricky when going among the cash poor. You don't want to bring something that's too extravagant; they'll see only all the basic foodstuffs that could have been bought with the money instead.
It'll be an experience tomorrow, either way!
@MLClark 🖤
Yes, I get it. It sounds you're doing everything you can. It's always hard to see someone in that much pain and know there's only so much you can do, but those necessaries will be practical and reinforce the message that she's not alone.
