If like seven year old Abriel, you are able to create a beautiful song, poem or work of art to share with others that will uplift their spirits, bring joy, comfort and simply help them get through another day, please don't hesitate to do just that.
Please take a moment to watch the composition by Abriel featured below, we hope it touches your heart and the hearts of those you share it with, like it did for us.
5. Be a source of comfort for family and friends: Not everyone is coping as well during this time. Be a listening ear, call or text them often, share stories, videos etc that will bring laughter and help them feel less stressed and alone.

This Article is inspired by and titled after an original song composed and performed by seven year old Abriel. He created it to "warm people's hearts, bring joy and remind us of 'the Beauty of Life' during the global social distancing and stay home measures as a result of the Covid 19 Pandemic."
It's endearing to see children tap into their creativity, display compassion and find their own unique way to not only try to understand all the changes in the world around us at this time but to also reach out and help uplift others who may not be coping as well or feeling isolated during the slower pace of life and losses brought about by this pandemic.

We are all gifted, capable and resourceful in our own way and now is the time to share your gift, compassion and love.
If not now, when? If not us, then who?
We are all in this together and we can only get through this with a humble recognition of the fragility but incredible beauty of life.

If you are reading this and you are:
One of the people who are feeling alone, overwhelmed, worried about the future, haven't been coping well. Or you are in the high risk group for contracting this virus because of your age, a preexisting condition, environmental and socio-economic factors such as location (living in a high risk city or county). Or you currently have no income or having a hard time making ends meet. Or maybe you are a health care provider, essential worker or volunteer risking and dedicating your life to help us in this fight.

We hope that you find comfort in the fact that:
We support you and although we may not know your names or what you look like, we are thinking about you and we are so grateful for your strength and courage. Take comfort in the fact that you are not alone even though it may feel that way because billions of us across the world are in this fight and doing what we can with the resources that we have to ensure that mankind not only survives but learns and grows and becomes better after this.

If you are wondering what can I do or how can I help?
You've already taken the first step by protecting yourselves, your Family and community by practicing effective hand washing techniques and limiting contact with others but compassion is also required at this time.
There are those of us who know several people who are infected, have passed away, lost jobs, may lose businesses, homes, their life's work or have run out of food because of this. Then there are those of us to whom it feels less intimate because we are the lucky ones whose town or state or country is not as deeply impacted at this time and we still have work from home jobs and a savings account to rely on.

Now is the time for us to draw upon the fundamental thing that connects us:
That we are all part of humanity and rather than disconnecting, we should allow ourselves to see the hurt, the pain and the sorrow of those who have been affected not just in our local area but globally. Allow ourselves to feel compassion and help in whatever way we can.
1. Donate: For those who have the means to donate canned dried goods or monetarily, do so. Food banks and homeless shelters are desperately in need right now.
2. Volunteer: For those who have the time and ability to volunteer to a charity or local non profit organization, do so safely.
3. Help elderly or disabled neighbors: For those who are able to help an elderly family member neighbor with their grocery shopping or to provide food to a local family in need, please do so.
4. For those who do not have resources to give: Get creative and use your unique skill or ability to help others.
We have been inspired by the people who sewed home-made masks so their family, friends and neighbors can go out to grocery shop safely.
We have also been delighted to see people uplift each other with music, comedy, art etc. that they shared online or with neighbors from their balconies.
Even something as simple as creating Thank You signs for your window or door for essential workers from the postal service, sanitary/ waste disposal and health care or grocery store workers who live in your neighborhood to see. It will encourage and uplift them and it's a fun activity that the whole family can get involved in.
