Amid the gloom there are shafts of light and this is one of the brightest. A lovely story shared on Twitter by someone called Bon Cliff about an elderly neighbour who stuck up a note asking for help during the lockdown.

‘Yesterday an elderly woman in my block taped the first note to the lobby door, so my neighbours and I dropped off some books/DVDs for her. Today she stuck up a second note :),’ wrote @conniebliff on Twitter.

Here’s the first note.

And the brilliant second.

And it really resonated with people.

This virus situation is showing a lot of good in people. We all need to help our neighbors.

Lots of people were asking this.

Do you have an address? Got lots of stuff I can send.

But let’s just do it for our neighbours instead.

Not gonna post/DM an address – don't feel comfortable giving a personal address out and she's got about 50 books from us already! I'm sure there are many people in your own areas who are in need – ask friends/family/community groups ✨
