Help with pets.
Kids aren’t the only family members
that need attention. If the family is
making trips to the doctor or hospital,
offer to feed the cat or walk the dog
while they are out. This will help ease
the mind of the family and give them
peace of mind while they focus on
what is important.
Clean the house.
Sweep the floor, change laundry
loads, vacuum, do dishes, or fold some
laundry. Even a little bit of picking
up can make a big difference. A clean
house during chaos can bring some
much needed peace during a chaotic
time.
Run errands.
If you are on your way to the store
anyway, why not send a quick text
and ask if the family needs anything -
toilet paper, diapers, or snacks? Does
mom want a coffee or some lunch?
Many grocery stores offer drive
through pick up these days. Have the
family order and pay for groceries
online, then pick them up and deliver
them. Offering to help put them away
would be an extra bonus.
