The quick spread of coronavirus has meant that an increasing number of people are having to self-isolate to keep themselves and others safe. Unfortunately, many of these people — especially the elderly — live by themselves and the loneliness can be overwhelming, particularly for the most vulnerable.

Here are some of the responses from people who used and benefited from Becky's brilliant idea and it shows how good humanity can be when they come together in the face of a crisis.

That's the case for Imgur user, klandon, when he came across Bindhi. His newfound light in life.
Kladon rescued Bindhi, and Bindhi rescued him right back.
Enjoy Kladon's commentary below as he describes their life together.
Five years ago a Boston missed connection went viral. Not because it was funny. Not because of anyone famous. But because it was a beautifully written and gut-wrenching story of immense sadness, redemption, and magic. A Boston man penned the Craigslist advertisement in 2015, titling its lengthy contents "I met you in the rain on the last day of 1972." The flair for the poetic doesn't end there.
What follows is a redemption arc that we thought only occurred in movies and romance novels. A chance meeting that left a suicidal veteran with hope for the first time in a long time. It's a touching read, and we highly recommend you start it prepared: armed with tissues, waterproof mascara, and a whole lot of love for all the people around you.
Imgur user @leftofthenormal, found this little motherless kitten in their neighborhood and decided to adopt her.
Not knowing how their adult cat, Frank, would handle this new little kitten -- to say they were surprised would be an understatement!
The kitten took to Frank like glue and Frank? Absolutely adored every second of it.
Yes, they're demanding. They leave their toys everywhere. They prevent us from being away from home for more than a few hours at a time.
They usually cost us thousands of dollars and just as many tears at the emergency vet.
And even so, we just can't imagine life without them.
National "Love Your Pet Day" on February 20 is a chance to show your cat, dog, tortoise or any loving pet you have, how you really feel. Treats, pampering and all the attention that the little guy or gal can handle are a great way to celebrate.
We have gathered a fine collection of pet owners posing with their pets.
Kristin Harkness and Jay Yonz from North Carolina are a very unique couple with a giant heart.
The animal-mad couple decided to spend all of their savings on giving their adopted disabled sheep a better quality of life, rather than go ahead with their wedding. And if that's not enough, they also run refuge with more than 62 disabled animals including dogs and cats.
What an inspirational couple!
