Quarantine help

As we care about the health of our neighbors, we also care about their financial needs. We don't want them to be sick, and neither do we want them to be financially ruined by loss of income and the terror of unpaid bills.

Servers, chefs, managers at closed restaurants and bars suddenly have no income through no fault of their own. Don't forget the owners as well, who have zero customer traffic coming through the doors. 

Vacations at hotels, cruise lines and resorts are cancelled. Those people are out of work now, in addition to their affected industries like trash hauling, laundry and cleaning services.

Here at our house we occasionally go for take-out, check in with neighbors, friends and family, and take a walk every day. Walking the neighborhood, I learned that an elderly woman who lives alone had a stroke recently. So I walked back with my phone number which she can use if needed. 

Like so many have said, we're all in this together and we can think of things that may help each other  (read this article for ideas).
