Memoir for Me, a life story book company based in Chicago, created a complimentary DIY interview kit so you can use your shelter-in-place time to interview your loved ones and capture a few life stories while safe in our homes. Interviews can be done via FaceTime or phone.

“Many of us miss our parents or grandparents and we can’t see them,” said Nora Kerr, founder. "I had to cancel a spring break trip to see my mom in Arizona. Our elders are lonely and our kids are bored! This is the perfect time to pick up the phone or dial into a web conferencing tool to ask about life stories. Our kit will guide you."
