Let's Spread Kindness

" The most precious gift you can give someone is the gift of your time and attention '' -Nicky Gumbell

After experiencing some very difficult times in my life, I realised I struggled with asking for help,
I thought I had to do everything on my own
(spoiler alert: you can’t !) and that I was weak if I
asked for help. Despite my struggling I was so thankful for the help I received!

But not only the help, also all the ways people would let me know they thought of me,
things like: a card in the mail, a phone call to cheer me up, a cup of tea together, etc.

Little things matter a lot

And that made me wonder if there is anything I can do to spread this feeling of being seen in difficult times. That is where Cher Ami came to be: a perfect combination of helping others and being able to be crafty ,I’ll take any excuse to be crafty, but this really is a good reason 🙂

I know that I love to help others, but I could be insecure on how to offer. What if they didn’t want help or what if they wanted help that I couldn’t offer ?
So I started to think of a way to make asking for and offering help easy

How does this card system work ?
- click on the link you ll find a pdf you can download and print (search for "I can help you with card system", you can also print envelopes they are made to fit this)
- Cut the cards
On the "I can help you with" card write down what you can do to help, for example: I can take you out for a coffee, cook you a meal, pick up your kids from
sports every Thursday, fold your laundry, bake you a cake, etc.

- put the I can help you card in the smaller envelope and write your adress on that envelop
- put the other card and smaller envelope in the bigger envelope, you write the adress of the receiver on that envelope.

You are now ready to give or mail ( don’t forget to put a stamp on both envelopes if you are mailing it ) it to the receiver.The receiver will see the “ I can help you with’ card. He/she can easily put a cross in front of the thing he/she would love/needs the most. Then he/she can put the card in the envelope that has your address on it and give/mail it back to you.You now know what help is most needed, it is simply a matter of making an appointment and you are good to go!
