[quote=Balboa]sdrealtor, thanks for mentioning charitable giving and increasing tipping. I also hope people who are financially able are maintaining their memberships to [whatever] and supporting the people who normally provide them personal services (hair stylists, house cleaners, massage therapists etc.). These aren’t fees for service at this point if you haven’t had a haircut or gone to the gym, but direct investments in community members who have been disproportionately affected.[/quote]

Absoultely! I paid my housekeeper through the pandemic whether she came or not (she didnt until I let her return in late June). I gave her an extra check for Christmas like I always do. She and her husband were exposed through their daughter to Covid in October and she showed me the respect to let me know. Her husband ended up getting it, was hospitalized but is fine now. She didnt come for over a month until he was Ok and she had a clear test. She’s been with me for 20 years and is like family

Another thing I did was fill a bag with rice, beans, salsa, tomatoes and other non pershiable goods every time I went to the market to drop off at food banks. People gotta eat
