It's been a tough last few weeks, right? When life gets hard and the world gets scary, it's our loved ones we turn to for support.
But this extraordinary coronavirus pandemic is different. Many of us can't see our most special friends and whānau because we want to keep them safe, and we want to get through this as a nation by following social distancing and Covid-19 Alert Level 3 rules.
While thousands of people are returning to work, visiting friends and family outside of your bubble may still be off the cards for some time longer.
Do you have a message for someone you can't see in person? A shout out to a sibling or best friend? A much-loved and missed grandparent? A new baby you need to virtually cuddle?
Level 3 Love Letters is an opportunity to share a video message for a loved one on Stuff.
You can upload your video here so we can share it with them and New Zealand

From 11am NZST on Thursday 30 April until Sunday 17 May, Artfair.co.nz will be hosting a Virtual Art Fair where you will discover more than 30 galleries from New Zealand and Australia displaying works that would have otherwise been seen at the 2020 Auckland Art Fair.
The Virtual Art Fair is in recognition of the artists who have already made special works for the Auckland Art Fair that couldn’t happen, and the galleries who have supported them in doing so.
“It comes at a time of global uncertainty, when the importance of art, community and culture are especially apparent,” their team said in a recent statement.
The Auckland Art Fair is designed to be “a celebration – as best we can – of the talent and diversity of art making by artists from our region; not only across New Zealand and Australia, but also around the wider Pacific-rim. We hope that, wherever possible, some of these artists and galleries will be supported by someone buying a work of art.”
Browse, look, enquire and consider as you get to know new galleries and artists in support of contemporary culture at a time when the artists and galleries really need it.

And as restrictions around public gatherings mean the Cancer Society has had to cancel some important fundraising events, Mayo has decided to Brave the Shave.
It’s a fundraising activity people can get involved in from the safety of their ‘bubble’, and the timing couldn’t be better with hair salons still in lockdown.
Mayo offers support to people living with cancer, and their families, in the Taupō/Turangi region.
During level 4 she’s also been making the journey to provide staffing support at the Cancer Society’s Lions Lodge in Hamilton – a facility offering free accommodation to people who need to travel to Waikato Hospital for cancer treatment.
Mayo, along with another of the society’s supportive care nurses, has set an ambitious fundraising goal of $5000 for losing her locks and has already raised well over half that amount in the first week of fundraising.
The motivation for their involvement is simple: the clients they meet every day.
"As nurses, on a daily basis we are in awe of the bravery and courage that our clients, their families and those around them show. Right from the moment a client receives what may be a life-changing or life-limiting diagnosis, they and their significant others show us how brave and courageous they are.
“Somehow, and from somewhere, they find the courage to take the next step in their journey to tackle whatever is thrown at them next."
Mayo said she’s been thinking of raising funds with a head shave for a little while but thinks now's the right time to find her "little bit of brave".
"Our job is a privilege. To be allowed into someone's life and to support them through the highest of highs and the lowest of lows is something we do not take for granted. It is an honour to walk this journey with them."

You could use a chair like this in a home office, as a plant stand, or as a bedside table for your books and lamp. Painting one chair is an easy way to inject a bit of colour into a room too.
Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.
