Hello,
I'm new to these forums and thought you all might be able to help me.
The son of some friends of mine is in the hospital after a very serious accident which has left him paralyzed. He will likely be in rehab for 6 months to a year. His mom is staying with him while his younger brother and dad are at home many miles away. I'd love to send the younger brother and dad some homecooked meals as I've heard they are not good cooks! I have no experience with sending food and don't want them to get packages they can't use.
I thought about sending almost-prepared meals that they could just heat or put together - maybe something like uncooked pasta and a jar of homemade sauce. However, I also have no experience in canning or preserving! In your experience, what packages and ships well? Cost is also a factor because I don't have much money to pay for packages that are really heavy or have to be refrigerated.
I just feel like this is one small thing I can do to help them out. Thanks so much for your help and if you are the praying kind, please remember the young man (Robert) in your prayers. Thank you.
