Specific Requests for Help (in Boulder, CO)

I am trying to make a schedule of helpers for the next 5-10 weeks while I recover at home. I am requesting a couple hours of help in both the mornings and afternoons. We are taking this one week (really, one day) at a time. I hope to be doing things and walking on my own again by Thanksgiving! Please read on for details... thanks :)

• Morning shift: 10am-1pm

Any assistance or amount of time you can offer is helpful. Please be direct with me and Alon by saying what you can and cannot help with at anytime. We respect you, your time and your friendship.

Help at Home:

• breakfast and lunch
• change ice for my leg
• move my equipment from living room to bedroom (ability to lift 10 pounds) - usually in late afternoon
• refill my water bottle
• push me in wheelchair around the block when I feel up to it 
• light house cleaning
• other personal assistance (does not include getting dressed, toileting or bathing)
• keep me company
• laugh together
• ART THERAPY!

Help Outside Home:

• pick up biweekly farm share in Boulder, Thursday, 4-7pm (thru Oct.)
• run errands - examples: picking up ice or a few grocery items - we will give you money ahead of time or reimburse immediately

Asking for help is not an easy thing for us. Thank you so much for hearing and considering our requests. 

With respect, love and thanks,

Erin & Alon
