Several people have asked how they can support me in my chronic-illness journey, so I put together an accessible list of things that will help my mind, body, and spirit, especially during flare-ups. Some items are practical, some are comforting and joyful, and a few are for caring for my dog, Teddy, who is a huge source of support for me, too. Gift cards (DoorDash, GrubHub, Sprouts, Kindle, Libro.fm, Vitamin Shoppe, or Lyft) are also incredibly helpful.
I’m completely open to second-hand, thrifted, or handmade items, as long as they're unscented. This is just one easy way to organize everything in one place.
And truly, please don’t feel obligated to get anything. Your care, presence, and encouragement already mean the world to me. Thank you for your love and support.
