Today at a meeting, one of the members stood up and explained a little bit about the challenges and heartache she is going through right now. She told us that she would really appreciate people calling and/or stopping by to visit as she is mostly house-bound these days.

It took a great deal of courage to tell her story and ask for help and support. After the meeting, a few of us got together and set up a schedule for one person to visit each day and at least one other person to call just to say "we care".
Friends want to help -- they just don't always know how or realize the immediate needs. Please don't be afraid to reach out and ask for help from your friends. It is a sign of trust and love.
