Your friends with long Covid would really appreciate you running some errands for them. Just offer it. Or a bit of housekeeping support. Anything at all.
“If it’s that bad, you would have help!”
Help doesn’t magically arrive when you become disabled.
You’re not assigned a caregiver or given more money based on severity.
Many need more help than they’re getting.
If you’re struggling tonight, know you’re not alone.
Many of us are with you.
