HELPING OTHERS,HELPING MYSELF There was a point early in the quarantine where I started to feel utterly useless, like staying home and following instructions from three different schools wasn’t enough. I had moved past being sad that I obviously wasn’t going to be able to follow moms and tell an amazing visual story of how hard it is to be a mom, but I’d seen one too many news reports about the good things other people were doing. Then a Volunteer Match email arrived and suddenly I was ready to drop off meals for front line workers. Quantum Leap is a vegetarian restaurant on Thompson Street in Manhattan whose owner joined with Love2Yeu and Nailing It for Healthcare to raise money to provide fresh hot meals. While I waited for them to finish preparing and boxing 300 meals for my group, I walked around alone and see the world. I had an hour to myself!
