Ways To Support

Written By Laura Andersen

Many times, people hesitate to reach out to someone going through something because they feel like it’s not enough. However, it’s not the grand gestures that make the biggest impact. The simple ones mean so much, too.

Here is a list of simple ways to support someone so that you have a handy list of ideas:

  • Send a text

  • Send an electronic gift card to their fave coffee shop

  • Drop off a treat on their porch

  • Start a meal trai

  • Send a card via snail mail

  • Ship fuzzy socks to them from Amazon

  • Simply ask them how they’re doing

  • Pray for them

  • Offer to take their kids somewhere fun for a couple of hours

  • Pick up their groceries

  • Take their car to the gas station and fill it with gas

  • Cut their grass

All gestures of care are appreciated - especially those that allow them to heal or rest.
