VivianGive. Whatever you can. To local coffee shop with takeaways orders (and safe distancing.) To karate teacher keeping your kids busy (and yourself sane) with zoom-based lessons. Don't cancel that after school program payment if your financial situation allows this. It will help keep light on at someone else's home. Think of those as sunk costs anyway. Everyone. And especially, you. It has helped me be more grateful for what I do have and feel like I can do something even if this is very small in the big scheme of things. Everyone can give. Even kindness, words of encouragement and a smile.
