💕Creating CompassioNate Care Bags in honor of my son, Nate 💕
Can you help me serve with love and compassion?
We are putting together care bags to offer to people in need.
I need your help please!
There are several ways you can help support this mission of extending kindness and compassion
directly to people in need in the Rochester area.
⭐ order Items from the wishlist that will be shipped directly to me
✍️ Write simple notes of encouragement or care (messages like “You matter” or “Keep going!” Or whatever comes to your heart) signed with your name or simply as “a friend “ or “someone who cares”
🎨 Get artsy or get the kids involved!
All I ask is that you mail them to me to be included in our bags. - PO Box 612, Livonia, NY 14487
🌟 volunteer to take some bags to carry with you and hand out when you see people in need - email me if you’re interested in meeting this need and we’ll arrange for pick-up of bags
💰 cash donations will be used to stock and supplement the bags with beneficial niceties and necessities -
Venmo @Barbara-Klein-25 or mail checks to me at PO Box 612, Livonia, NY 14487
What we’re up to:
As a way to keep loving my son and to extend compassion and care to people who are someone’s child, I am putting together
CompassioNATE Care Bags - drawstring bags that will contain personal care items like socks, underwear, hats, gloves, hand and feet warmers,
snacks, harm reduction supplies, and cards with local resource numbers
and loving encouragement
including one with Nate’s image beaming love their way.
The bags will be taken by volunteer community members who are willing to carry them with them and give out when they see people in need. The heartfelt stories from those who have helped offer over 450 bags this past year have been amazing!
The ripple of kindness and love is deep and wide!
It’s my hope that we can expand our reach beyond the organizations that already serve these folks who struggle with homelessness. It’s also my hope that more hearts will open and may be a beacon of love and hope in dark times.
Maybe we’ll even help save a life. I know we’ve saved at least one.
Share this project with others who'd like a chance to help in order to expand our circle of possibility if you feel inspired to do so!!
We all know someone touched by substance use or mental health and this is what often leads to housing and food insecurity.
Help me invite more people to turn toward our fellow humans in their most vulnerable times.
I’m here as a mom spreading love, kindness, compassion, and care, and I hope you'll join me.
I promise the heart expansion you’ll feel by joining me will be like the Grinch’s heart… growing 3x in one moment!!
❤️I am deeply grateful to RAW Recovery, the NY Recovery Alliance, and Samadhi who have helped me include critical harm reduction supplies in these bags. Please consider supporting these organizations in the compassionate, vital work they are doing.
Thank you!
