A Sydney resident living alone during the city's Covid-19 lockdown has shared the heartfelt note written to her by a 'beautiful' nurse living down the road.
Sharon Snir, from Willoughby on Sydney's lower north shore, said she found the note inside her letter box last weekend when the 14-day city-wide stay-at-home orders were announced.
The note was written by a local healthcare worker named Millie who lived around the corner from Ms Snir.
Millie said she understood how tough it can be for some residents to leave the house during the pandemic and offered to help out Ms Snir in any way she could.

'Having been unwell for a week and living alone it was the sweetest gesture I could have received,' Ms Snir wrote.
The health worker said she knew how stressful living with the virus could be for some residents, especially the older generation.
'With another lockdown being announced, I just wanted to check in - I know how important staying connected to people are in times like these,' Millie wrote.
'I'd love to help, so if you or someone close to you needs any help with getting groceries or shopping or anything else that involves leaving the house, I'd love to help.'
The selfless nurse left her number on the note and told Ms Snir to call her whenever she needed.
Ms Snir told a local Facebook group she had since taken up Millie on her offer.
'What a beautiful person she is. She has just taken my dog for a walk and I'm feeling deeply thankful for my wonderful community,' she said.

The post was flooded with comments from other locals applauding Millie for her generosity.
'Oh my - that has warmed my heart. And well done you for reaching out and asking for some help - that's not always easy to do,' one person commented.
'This pandemic is definitely a nightmare, but some of the reminders of community and humanity were so needed,' another said.
Greater Sydney is halfway into a two week lockdown with New South Wales recording 35 new coronavirus infections on Saturday - taking the total number of cases linked to the Bondi cluster to 261.
The 35 new cases are the highest number of infections recorded in a single day since the initial outbreak in 2020 but the premier and her Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said the 'green shoots are there'.
'We are relieved, the cases are not as bad as they could have been,' Premier Gladys Berejiklian said on Saturday.

Greater Sydney remains in lockdown until Friday but there are still fears it will be extended as sewage testing shows the virus is in south-west and western Sydney despite no known cases being recorded there.
'Pleasingly, nine of those were infectious during their time in the community,' the Premier explained on Saturday morning.
'While as predicted the number of cases is going up, we are seeing a greater proportion of those cases in isolation, which is exactly what we want to see.'
