New Year is a holiday when everyone expects miracles and magic. In order to fulfill someone's dream or provide all possible assistance, you do not need to have a lot of money and free time. It’s enough to look around and see how many people are nearby who need attention and care. To thank the past year and enter the new one with a light heart, here are some ideas that will help make the world a better place.
Caring for the Elderly
Next to every person there are elderly people who need help. These could be neighbors on the landing, in the house, or people living across the street. Unfortunately, not every pensioner has relatives who can provide support. Why not do something good for them on New Year's Day?
Of course, not everyone is ready to go door to door, ring the doorbell and impose help. This is not necessary. All you have to do is hang a notice in the entrance, indicate your phone number and describe what service older people can ask for. Most often this is a trip to the store or a request to walk a pet. This will make life much easier for retirees.
Help for those in need
Not everyone has the opportunity to help financially. But the closets in every apartment are filled with things in good condition that are no longer worn. They need to be selected, washed and ironed, and then taken to a special collection point for families in difficult situations.They happily accept clothes, children's toys, books, dishes, towels, and bed linen. This will be a New Year's gift for those who have financial difficulties and problems with work.
Such an act will not hurt your wallet and will even be useful for putting things in order in the house. The main thing is to approach the choice responsibly and not throw away things that have completely broken down.
Help for children
In many orphanages and boarding schools, letters to Santa Claus are collected from children before the New Year. They are sent to organizations that are ready to provide assistance, or to caring people who have expressed a desire to buy gifts for one or more children. You can call such an institution and ask for the opportunity to take part in an action of good deeds.
As a rule, gifts are set at one low price category so as not to offend any of the children. The surprise can be festively packaged and, if desired, sweets can be added to it. For an adult, it is not burdensome to buy one gift, but for a child who does not have parents, this will be the most important event of the year.
Help animals
Shelters for homeless animals always experience financial difficulties. If your apartment and the amount of free time allows, before the coming New Year you can give a gift to both yourself and a lonely cat or dog by taking it home.
If this is not possible, you need to buy food or medicine for the shelter, which is required there in large quantities. Shelter owners often ask to bring diapers needed to care for sick or small animals.A holiday is a reason to give warmth to those who feel lonely and abandoned.
Attention to others
New Year and Christmas are the holidays when it is especially hard for a person to remain alone. To fix this, you need to buy postcards with good old pictures, sign them and send them by mail to your friends. Such non-standard congratulations will definitely lift your spirits and make you understand that a person is not alone, that someone is thinking about him. You can even send postcards to random addresses to strangers.
Doing good deeds and bringing joy to people is always pleasant and creates a festive mood. On New Year's, everything around is transformed, and everyone becomes a little child, and children need miracles at any age.
