It was hard not to read the thread about AB members and how lockdown has affected them without being deeply moved, especially by the tragic stories there. It got me wondering if there was a random act of kindness I could offer, maybe something to help lift spirits.

Of course that's difficult when I don't know anyone behind the avatar, but, still, it seems worth trying. I wanted to offer the following (to the first ten people who request something):

1. Happy to make a charity donation up to £25 on someone's behalf. Name of charity is all that's required in this case.

2. For those who want something more personal, Happy to also offer to send flowers, or a takeaway meal, or equivalent, but for that I'd clearly need an address. If nobody is comfortable with this then go with option 1, but for those who are willing to trust a random stranger then feel free to send contact details and request to the email address below. All personal information will be destroyed once I'm done with it. I can't hide anyway, it's not difficult to work out who I am from the "subtle" clues left around this site, and hopefully in this case that provides a little reassurance.

If Ab Editor feels this is inappropriate then of course delete it, but I feel relatively lucky at the moment and it seems a shame to sit here feeling sad at what others are going through while doing exactly nothing about it.
