" While there (East Africa), Kiley met a woman with a horrible but treatable disease. The woman's distorted leg repulsed her, but Kiley knew she had to do something. As she cleaned and bandaged the leg, her patient began crying. Concerned, Kiley asked if she was hurting her.
"No," she replied. "It's the first time anyone has touched me in NINE YEARS.'"

Okay. Think single people--widows and widowers--divorced--physically and mentally challenged--AIDS patients. I know there are many I'm forgetting. Please use the comment field or facebook to add to the list.
If not a hug, how about a handshake or a quick touch to the arm or shoulder?
Praying For Opportunity,
