Supporting loved ones through the COVID-19 pandemic
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, life has been hard for many. From mandated quarantines to social distancing orders becoming part of our routines, people all over the world have had to deal with many uncertainties.
While many have been fortunate, others have been hit harder whether after contracting the virus or how the pandemic has taken a toll on their livelihoods. As we all continue to navigate life in hopes of a brighter, post-COVID world, we can help those still struggling today.
