Thank you for the offer of donations, it is very generous of you! I am not in need of donations to be able to provide this, I get to make the video sharing the process and she gets free meals. In that way it’s entirely self sustaining so your support is all I need ❤
Your generosity is beautiful but maybe we your supporters, can help you help more than one person or help you supply things at the shelters. You brighten our day, and in return would love to help you help others.
rebecca has a full time job, a boyfriend, a successful youtube and tiktok and still manages to cook meals for those in need. i should not complain that i don’t have enough time in the day
@@TheMeshal33 I'm older and not ashamed of my smaller part of doing whatever I can these days. It's not even always consistent but I keep at it. ( Also, I don't do anything when I sick except work on getting well so I can get back to life sooner). Your comment was on point, thanks.
I can see the joy in your eyes and hear it in your voice. You have such a kind soul, and you're doing great things. Thank you for all of your effort and hard work!
How great! I'm a single, living alone, and I love to bake, but baking for one is really hard, and there's only so much freezer space a single guy can take up with desserts, so during lockdown, I went on my town's Buy Nothing group and offered slices of cake, bags of cookies, muffins, loaves of bread, etc. It was great, and a nice way to (safely distanced) meet some of the people in my community.
I’ve been watching this video with tears rolling down my face. Both my husband and I are disabled so I really understand how much this will mean for this family.
You say “lack of consistency,“ I say “new and innovative content.” No one wants to see the same stuff all the time. By changing it up, you are keeping fresh ideas! Thank you for that!
Okay Dollar Tree Dinners Family. Please tell me I'm not the only one sitting here sobbing as I watch. Full out sobbing. Rebecca you are an angel! I don't have any family either. I'm thinking if I were gone and my mum was still alive someone would be looking out for her, that's why I'm crying. I don't cook so I wouldn't be able to do this but you have inspired me to find a local group that provides free meals to seniors so I can send them a donation.
I’m crying myself. I sure wish we had more people like her. I have family but they never help me out. They are to busy with their lives. I’m disabled n 66 n some days I don’t eat bc I’m unable to fix it.
@@TobywedinikkiI am sorry to hear that. In NYC, we have meals on wheels. Depending on your income level, you will be able to get prepared meals several times a week. You can also freeze these meals if you cannot eat it all. A lot of church / senior centers will do this too. Please try to look into this. You deserve to retire and live a reasonable life. Worrying about how your next meal will be coming should not be a concern.
This is so kind! I am a grandparent raising a disabled grandson. There isn't enough supportive housing for the disabled and people have no idea how many of them are living with grands who worry what happens when I am gone.
It is truly sad that you should even be in this situation- I can not change your situation but I do want to extend a virtual "hug" and just say that you are a wonderful person for loving your grandson and caring for him!!! I pray that videos like this, and people coming together will help fill these gaps.
If your grandson is able to live alone he probably qualify to live in a senior building they are for senior or disabled persons . My brother is 42 and has learning disabilities and lives in a senior building i make sure his bills are paid and i grocery shop for him mainly frozen food and i go over once a week to help him clean . God luck hope this helps someone,
My son is disabled. Im so worried about he’ll be cared for when I’m gone. We’re so fortunate in so many ways in our family situation and all. My parents REALLY help us out. Still, even though my situation is sooo much better than someone else in my same position…it’s so hard to care for a developmentally disabled young one. God bless and keep you and yours.
This is such a lovely idea! Stories of content creation creating a ton of waste are so common -- particularly PR packages sent to influencers who maybe unbox them and never touch them again. It's so nice to see such a sustainable way to create content while also helping someone in need.
Thank you for seeing the vision! I wanted a way to cook more and share more recipes but there’s only so much I can make without creating waste. This felt like a win win, I can donate the meals and share the recipes, and I can hopefully inspire others who might want to do the same.
Senior citizens with food insecurities would be a great idea. I work for my local senior center, and we serve them a free lunch by using a federally funded government program. We feed over 150-180 seniors in our area in 4 days. We are a small center, but so many need to find more food resources. For some of them, the meal that we provide for them is their only meal of the day.
My Aunt goes to her senior center for lunch every day, it’s the only meal she eats because now that her family is gone, she doesn’t cook for herself. She can socialize and get a decent meal. I’m so glad programs like that exist.
That is wonderful. The senior center my mom in law used to go to also had soup people could buy for $1.00, free Panera Bread, and seasonal fruit and veggies left on a table for those in need.
Maybe we can help you, maybe donating towards the meals you make. Everything we do for others , makes the world a better place. Life in general is very hard. You have a big ❤️ heart.
I have become the caretaker for my step-grandfather, and he's tricky because I have to watch how hard something is to chew. He's lost a lot of weight due to cancer so I don't think it's false teeth stay in as well as I used to😂 But don't be surprised if they accidentally throw away your containers, they forget. I started buying cheap Dollar tree ones when I take him meals because they weren't as precious as these to me. But he's honestly happier having his oatmeal that the neighbor helps I'll make in the morning, and he makes sandwiches for himself the rest of the day. I tried doing microwave meals but he just forgets to look in the freezer. So I keep on stocked up on egg salad, chicken salad and turkey. I'm so happy you were able to help someone, it does make you feel good because it's something you enjoy, cooking, and someone else is getting a good benefit out of it!
Thank you! I get these on Amazon, it’s $25 for 50 containers so if they do get tossed it’s not a huge loss. But I’ll definitely check dollar tree to see if I can find some that work out cheaper than 0.50 each ❤️
I used those same containers to make meals for my sister who is battling cancer, she still found each containers lasted her for two meals as her appetite was poor. THANKYOU for helping out person in need.
I know you probably won't see this comment, but we need more people like you.Thank you for what you are doing to help people.Absolutely.Love your videos and you are amazing.Honestly you are a true hero in my eyes❤❤❤
You are the sweetest most caring and loving person! That person is going to be blessed beyond measure to be gifted with your meals! God bless you and the am ❤❤❤
You have me in tears. To know a young woman would want to cook for someone else, donate your money and time? Its just the most kind wonderful thing i have watched. I LOVE YOU. And the food you make looks so so delicious. Craaaap the more I watch the harder im cryin. You are a doll a wonderful sweet darling person to help someone have meals. I cant express enough what this does to make me feel good about people again
I have been watching your videos for a while now and enjoy them thoroughly. Today, I learned I've been taking from you without giving anything back, as I remained unsubscribed. This video inspired me to click that button. The joy you had in making those meals was palpable. Thanks to the one who sparked that idea and passion in you
If she is agreeable to it, would you keep filming the weekly meals you make for the family? This is helpful for meal planning but it also gives inspiration on ways we might be able to help our own communities
I just love what your channel is about. I watched you around the time you first started & commented how great I thought you were! Well, here I still am, and using lots of your ideas. Long story short, my husband used to make plenty of $ but no retirement, so now he is retired & we live solely off of his soc security. (I can't work) but I actually really enjoy being creative, hitting within budget & making good food. Lots of thanks to you my friend.
Thank you for finding someone to do this for. Since the pandemic, I/ my family have been helping many different people. I have people who get sugar-free desserts, and some just need help with getting food pantry pick-ups. But I have a few seniors that I cook for a few times a week. I have only 3 in my family, husband , son, and myself. So I always had leftovers. I bought 32oz Mason jars from Walmart, I cook bean, soups, mild chili, chicken and dumplings, rice , and noodles in very convenient. I love buying some of those plates in square so I could pk 2 ears of corn . I buy snack bags to pk salads with croutons, tomatoes, cheese, and meats chunks. I am very proud of you for doing this ❤️. God bless you 🙏 ❤🎉
This is what the TH-cam and social media world needs more of, creators using their platform to give back to others. I absolutely love your content and will always support your channel! ❤
Just when I thought you couldn't be more amazing, well, you go and warm my heart even more. You're doing the good work, and I am so glad to be a witness to the wonderful person thar you are. Your videos have helped me so much preparing meals for my 4 teenagers, my fiancé, my mother and myself on a budget. Thanks to you, my grocery bill has gone from $1500 per month to around $800 per month. Almost half! Bless you, you beautiful soul!
Everything looks delicious! The only suggestion I have is to cut the onion in the pasta salad into smaller pieces. That way you'd still get the flavor, but in a smaller bite. I like onions, but some find them a bit overwhelming in large-ish pieces. I hope the lady and her grandson enjoyed the very generous meals!
Another wonderful idea. I love that you were able to find someone you could help. Elders who take care of their grandchildren with disabilities could always use a little help.
You are a very special young woman! Not many young people care of those in need. The fact that you have a full life, you still have the time to cook for a family in need. May you be blessed for having such a giving heart! By the way, the food looks delicious 😊. So glad I came upon your channel. You have a new subscriber!
Oh boy ... she and her grandson are going to love these! What great meals and made with such joy in your heart. You are such a kind soul to be doing this Rebecca. I wish more people would put kindness out into the world as freely as you do. 🥰
This is a wonderful idea. I cook for my 86 yr old mother daily. (She lives next door) At least once a week her twin sister joins us for a meal and I send her home with leftovers. There are many senior citizens that can use some help with meal preparation.
Love this, I make meals for my Mother-in-law and take over to her she really appreciates this. I wish more people could do something like this our WORLD would be a better place and not just for those that are elderly but anyone who is struggling or busy.😊
Rebecca what you are doing is wonderful! I wished I lived close to you. I am in a wheelchair and it's hard to cook for just me. I do get food from the food pantry and I am very grateful for that. But there's nothing like a home cooked meal made with Love. You can diffently tell your's were made with Love! Love your videos ❤...Della
As a 53 yr old permanently disabled widow on SS, and live full time in my RV. This is such a wonderful idea! I'm nearly blind and unable to drive, so I can surely relate! I'm positive she will be so grateful! What a blessing! Thank you for always thinking of ideas for the elderly & less fortunate. ❤️
How fabulous you are! This gave me the idea of doing this a few days before my breast cancer surgery so my disabled husband has food to eat for a few days. It also inspired me to ask around locally for a disabled senior in need of help with meals to do this for, I love to cook and always overcook for the two of us. I’m looking forward to see how you might be able to find ways to freeze complete meals that reheat well. You are an amazing young woman with a heart of gold. God bless you.
I love this!!!! Don’t be surprised if her feedback is the portion is huge for her. As I have hit menopause, my body not only needs less but I don’t desire the portion size I ate through my “summer” years of life. Your portions would feed me for 2 meals. You might be surprised that the three days of meals feed her for almost all week. It would me by just adding some fruit and raw veggies for snacking. The muffins were a perfect sweet addition.
This is a brilliant idea 💡 👏. It's very heartwarming and compassionate to assist those in need. I'm sure that whomever the recipient of the meals you've prepared for and donated to will enjoy them and be grateful for your assistance. ❤
You are such a kind person for providing all these meals. I think a cold meal like pasta salad is a great option for lunch. Another lunch suggestion is to make a her a hearty soup like minestrone - any veggies you have, plus a can of tomatoes, a can of beans and some cooked pasta in a broth. If you want to donate frozen food to a food-bank, I recommend getting a vac-pack machine like a food saver as it keeps the food in better condition. If you were wanting to produce a meal that has several different elements, you could vacpack each one separately, and then put them in one of your meal containers to keep each one separate. Then the recipient can open the vacpacks, put them in the meal container and microwave them.
I volunteer at a food pantry and have a guy who vacumn packs different meats for us in 1 lb packages. Clients love it!!! Last month our freezers died and we had to give away all the meat one Thursday afternoon 😂😅
As a retired and disabled single, bless you for doing this! Another channel on this platform had loads of ways for senior citizens to find ways to get meals, but none are available in my area and the Meals on Wheels won't address things like food allergies. Would that every town had someone like you to help folks out like this. It is a very needed and worthwhile project.
Absolutely love the gift of giving meals to someone in need! Such a precious blessing! As someone who has had multiple foot surgeries over last few years and being unable to bear weight or stand most of that time, I am super grateful for friends & family bringing me take out & I use air fryer a lot but there is nothing like a real home cooked meal!
Thats awesome! I live in a rural area so there aren’t many options like that out here, I did sign up for lasagna love too but nothing out this way either.
You are a Godsend from whomever receives your yummy meals. You have a kind heart and you are beautiful inside and out. I would love to see the look on her face when she eats them. This is a blessing for her. Thank you Rebecca and God Bless. Hugs, Rebekah
What a wonderful idea. You are so sweet and thoughtful. I made a resolution in January that I would donate groceries the first of every month to my local food pantry and I also decided to buy a toy every month also to donate to the Toys for Tots at the end of the year. Bless you!
I sometimes fix food for my neighbor on the third floor. He loves my chili and grilled cheese sandwiches. I have a George Forman, and it gets the grill marks. Which he cannot do himself..
Young Lady, you have a Beautiful heart 😍 Thank you for thinking of the needy in your area! Im sure it will be greatly appreciated. What a wonderful idea!!♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹
You are a kind hearted person. As a shut in myself, I know I would appreciate someone cooking for me with such and Care. I am blessed to have a husband who is my caretaker and cooks for me every day. They are going to love these dishes❤️
This is amazing! I used to volunteer cooking/driving for meals on wheels. They usually have an abundance of volunteers, though. This one-on-one meal service is something I'd love to get back into, so thank you for being your amazing self, and for the inspiration!
Your kindness is inspiring! I’m sure this lady and her grandson will love these meals and I know they appreciate them. I enjoyed this video and look forward to more like it. So happy your back and feeling better.
Good girl!!! I am so looking forward to following your journey with this. It's always a good thing when we help those in need and I'm sure your future will be very bright, indeed! Kudos to you! ❤😊😊
You are such a kind, thoughtful soul. Your joy for extending love to others really shines in this video. And, I learned some new meal prep ideas! You made my favorite Outback dish and I never considered I can make it at home. Just prepped it tonight!
Thank you such a nice young lady to think of others. God bless you. I am sure that this family will love your wonderful meals. Many older people do not want to bother to eat healthy. You are such a blessing to these people.
I love that you are doing this. Twice a year I make meals for 20 for a Meals on Wheels to Seniors who are home bound. What a great ministry. Your kindness is appreciated more than you know. We also make shelf stable meals in 2 gallon ziploc bags for those who are able to cook but cannot get out to a store.
@@DollarTreeDinnersMy mom received Meals on Wheels for a time before she passed away. She really appreciated the extras- fresh fruit, juice, fruit cups, milk…. Sometimes she was offered protein shakes.
You’re incredible! My neighbor is older and lives alone so she doesn’t cook. So every time I make a good homemade bigger meal I pack her up a Tupperware and she really appreciates it.
I used to swear (and even argue with you lol) that KFC mashed potatoes were the absolute best potatoes!! But ever since I started making those homestyle buttery mashed potato packets (and adding extra butter and salt to them after fixing) that now I absolutely love these the best 😊
This is a fantastic idea. I'm going to look into trying it for myself. I'm in the same boat, I grew up cooking for a large family but now only have a household of 2. It's easy to forget I don't need to make a ton of food, and things do end up spoiling sometimes. Also it was really sweet to give her a little treat in the muffins, and to package it up all cute like that, I bet it made her feel really special. We all need a little something special sometimes. And YOU are special! Your community is lucky to have you 💜

You are special Rebecca and thanks for donating to people in need.
Just when I thought you couldn't be more amazing, well, you go and warm my heart even more. You're doing the good work, and I am so glad to be a witness to the wonderful person thar you are. Your videos have helped me so much preparing meals for my 4 teenagers, my fiancé, my mother and myself on a budget. Thanks to you, my grocery bill has gone from $1500 per month to around $800 per month. Almost half! Bless you, you beautiful soul!
Everything looks delicious! The only suggestion I have is to cut the onion in the pasta salad into smaller pieces. That way you'd still get the flavor, but in a smaller bite. I like onions, but some find them a bit overwhelming in large-ish pieces. I hope the lady and her grandson enjoyed the very generous meals!
Just one more thing that proves how sweet and considerate you are!!!
Another wonderful idea. I love that you were able to find someone you could help. Elders who take care of their grandchildren with disabilities could always use a little help.
You are a very special young woman! Not many young people care of those in need. The fact that you have a full life, you still have the time to cook for a family in need. May you be blessed for having such a giving heart! By the way, the food looks delicious 😊. So glad I came upon your channel. You have a new subscriber!
Oh boy ... she and her grandson are going to love these! What great meals and made with such joy in your heart. You are such a kind soul to be doing this Rebecca. I wish more people would put kindness out into the world as freely as you do. 🥰
What a wonderful generous gift! During covid I participated in a program called lasagna love. It was a beautiful experience!!!
This is a wonderful idea. I cook for my 86 yr old mother daily. (She lives next door) At least once a week her twin sister joins us for a meal and I send her home with leftovers. There are many senior citizens that can use some help with meal preparation.
Love this, I make meals for my Mother-in-law and take over to her she really appreciates this. I wish more people could do something like this our WORLD would be a better place and not just for those that are elderly but anyone who is struggling or busy.😊
Rebecca what you are doing is wonderful! I wished I lived close to you. I am in a wheelchair and it's hard to cook for just me. I do get food from the food pantry and I am very grateful for that. But there's nothing like a home cooked meal made with Love. You can diffently tell your's were made with Love! Love your videos ❤...Della
Where are you?
Great idea!!❤😊 BLESS you.
Thank you! 😊
As a 53 yr old permanently disabled widow on SS, and live full time in my RV. This is such a wonderful idea! I'm nearly blind and unable to drive, so I can surely relate! I'm positive she will be so grateful! What a blessing! Thank you for always thinking of ideas for the elderly & less fortunate. ❤️
Aww, what a sweet thing you are doing! She and her grandson will enjoy those meals!
You’re such a beautiful person. Thank you for being your beautiful self.
How fabulous you are! This gave me the idea of doing this a few days before my breast cancer surgery so my disabled husband has food to eat for a few days. It also inspired me to ask around locally for a disabled senior in need of help with meals to do this for, I love to cook and always overcook for the two of us. I’m looking forward to see how you might be able to find ways to freeze complete meals that reheat well. You are an amazing young woman with a heart of gold. God bless you.
You are a sweetheart!
You my dear are a blessed soul. We need more people like you in our lives!
I love this!!!! Don’t be surprised if her feedback is the portion is huge for her. As I have hit menopause, my body not only needs less but I don’t desire the portion size I ate through my “summer” years of life.
Your portions would feed me for 2 meals. You might be surprised that the three days of meals feed her for almost all week. It would me by just adding some fruit and raw veggies for snacking. The muffins were a perfect sweet addition.
Beautiful post and idea. Thanks for sharing this with us. May wr all walk away with some kind of way to contribute to those in need around us.❤
Bless you for helping this grandmother and her disabled grandchild. We need more people like you. 💕
People like you deserve all the success they get and more - God Bless You
Silly you, feeling nervous! You are an amazing cook, anyone would be grateful to receive such a caring gift.
How thoughtful of you. I'm sure you have made that woman and her grandson very happy.
I love this idea you will be blessing so many people. 💜🙏🏼😇
I am sure that the Senior and her son will really enjoy your home cooked meals! I know that I would. You are doing a good thing.
Absolute love this idea! As a parent of a special needs teen, this warms my heart ❤
This is a brilliant idea 💡 👏. It's very heartwarming and compassionate to assist those in need. I'm sure that whomever the recipient of the meals you've prepared for and donated to will enjoy them and be grateful for your assistance. ❤
This really spoke to my heart. I'm disabled, and if someone did this for me, I can only tell you how grateful I'd be. You're doing great work here!!
In a world when you can be anything - be kind! This warms my heart!
That is fabulous to make all that delicious meals for someone else to enjoy ❤
You are such a kind person for providing all these meals.
I think a cold meal like pasta salad is a great option for lunch. Another lunch suggestion is to make a her a hearty soup like minestrone - any veggies you have, plus a can of tomatoes, a can of beans and some cooked pasta in a broth.
If you want to donate frozen food to a food-bank, I recommend getting a vac-pack machine like a food saver as it keeps the food in better condition. If you were wanting to produce a meal that has several different elements, you could vacpack each one separately, and then put them in one of your meal containers to keep each one separate. Then the recipient can open the vacpacks, put them in the meal container and microwave them.
I volunteer at a food pantry and have a guy who vacumn packs different meats for us in 1 lb packages. Clients love it!!! Last month our freezers died and we had to give away all the meat one Thursday afternoon 😂😅
As a retired and disabled single, bless you for doing this! Another channel on this platform had loads of ways for senior citizens to find ways to get meals, but none are available in my area and the Meals on Wheels won't address things like food allergies. Would that every town had someone like you to help folks out like this. It is a very needed and worthwhile project.
Absolutely love the gift of giving meals to someone in need! Such a precious blessing! As someone who has had multiple foot surgeries over last few years and being unable to bear weight or stand most of that time, I am super grateful for friends & family bringing me take out & I use air fryer a lot but there is nothing like a real home cooked meal!
My ex-husband gets these from a local Senior Citizen Center and it’s a Meals on Wheels
Thats awesome! I live in a rural area so there aren’t many options like that out here, I did sign up for lasagna love too but nothing out this way either.
You are a Godsend from whomever receives your yummy meals. You have a kind heart and you are beautiful inside and out. I would love to see the look on her face when she eats them. This is a blessing for her. Thank you Rebecca and God Bless. Hugs, Rebekah
What a wonderful idea. You are so sweet and thoughtful. I made a resolution in January that I would donate groceries the first of every month to my local food pantry and I also decided to buy a toy every month also to donate to the Toys for Tots at the end of the year. Bless you!
Thank you!
This is so sweet. You are such a blessing. God bless you.
I sometimes fix food for my neighbor on the third floor. He loves my chili and grilled cheese sandwiches. I have a George Forman, and it gets the grill marks. Which he cannot do himself..
That’s so sweet. I’m sure he appreciates it.
Young Lady, you have a Beautiful heart 😍 Thank you for thinking of the needy in your area! Im sure it will be greatly appreciated. What a wonderful idea!!♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹
I just want to say thank you. You are AMAZING ❤
Such a blessing for the lucky recipient and you are blessed as well.
You are a kind hearted person. As a shut in myself, I know I would appreciate someone cooking for me with such and Care. I am blessed to have a husband who is my caretaker and cooks for me every day. They are going to love these dishes❤️
This is amazing! I used to volunteer cooking/driving for meals on wheels. They usually have an abundance of volunteers, though. This one-on-one meal service is something I'd love to get back into, so thank you for being your amazing self, and for the inspiration!
I’m glad it was helpful! I hope you can find someone to cook for ❤️
Love this! Thank you so much for teaching us how to make them. I am 70 and disabled. This lesson will help me and many others as well!! 💋
Thanks!
To help with your next donated meals.
Your kindness is inspiring! I’m sure this lady and her grandson will love these meals and I know they appreciate them.
I enjoyed this video and look forward to more like it. So happy your back and feeling better.
You are one of Gods Angels on earth! Thank you for letting him use you to feed the hungry and to lighten someone else’s burdens!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Good girl!!! I am so looking forward to following your journey with this. It's always a good thing when we help those in need and I'm sure your future will be very bright, indeed! Kudos to you! ❤😊😊
You are such a kind, thoughtful soul. Your joy for extending love to others really shines in this video. And, I learned some new meal prep ideas! You made my favorite Outback dish and I never considered I can make it at home. Just prepped it tonight!
This is a wonderful idea! You give me hope for humans in this crazy world!
Thank you such a nice young lady to think of others. God bless you. I am sure that this family will love your wonderful meals. Many older people do not want to bother to eat healthy. You are such a blessing to these people.
I love that you are doing this. Twice a year I make meals for 20 for a Meals on Wheels to Seniors who are home bound. What a great ministry. Your kindness is appreciated more than you know. We also make shelf stable meals in 2 gallon ziploc bags for those who are able to cook but cannot get out to a store.
I love that! Do you have any favorite meals that you make for meals on wheels?
@@DollarTreeDinnersMy mom received Meals on Wheels for a time before she passed away. She really appreciated the extras- fresh fruit, juice, fruit cups, milk…. Sometimes she was offered protein shakes.
You’re incredible!
My neighbor is older and lives alone so she doesn’t cook. So every time I make a good homemade bigger meal I pack her up a Tupperware and she really appreciates it.
God bless you Rebecca! Using your skills to help others is wonderful!
I used to swear (and even argue with you lol) that KFC mashed potatoes were the absolute best potatoes!! But ever since I started making those homestyle buttery mashed potato packets (and adding extra butter and salt to them after fixing) that now I absolutely love these the best 😊
This is a fantastic idea. I'm going to look into trying it for myself. I'm in the same boat, I grew up cooking for a large family but now only have a household of 2. It's easy to forget I don't need to make a ton of food, and things do end up spoiling sometimes. Also it was really sweet to give her a little treat in the muffins, and to package it up all cute like that, I bet it made her feel really special. We all need a little something special sometimes. And YOU are special! Your community is lucky to have you 💜
What you’re doing is such a blessing for that Senior. God bless you.
