We Can Attest That These Are Good Neighbors

Quarantine started a few days ago in our area. In France, since the beginning of the quarantine, we have had to print and/or write down an official attestation and take it with us whenever we leave home. People who leave home without this attestation and/or leave home to do unnecessary stuff may get a fine.

I live in an apartment building and many of my neighbors are retired, which means they are more vulnerable to illness than average. One morning, I find a note on the building’s entrance door. It’s from one of our young neighbors, who offers to help other neighbors by shopping for food.

The day after, there’s also a small display next to this note. It’s full of attestations printed by another neighbor so that people who don’t have a printer can just help themselves.

I love my neighbors.
