In hard times, I am always trying to find a way to help others. I am thankful that I am able to put on one of my hats to do so, especially in such a critical time. Having the ability to provide healthcare services to those with special needs couldn’t bring me more fulfillment and reward knowing that there is still available resources for this population.
As home shelter is in place for our nation and across the world, this can exacerbate ailments already in place for many. It is with out greatest efforts to stay safe but our hope to alleviate any additional stress. Families are home trying to manage each and every single role, and many are doing so with children. As these children are now forced into home school, this adds to the list and workload. It is a struggle for many families during this time. The challenges of keeping safe and sane alone is a struggle for all. Though it is more so for many whom lack supplies and resources as well. What is needed to keep their children active and educated all at the same time, managing minimal employment, childcare, even loss of employment are realities for the world right now, besides the highest concern for our health.
For those that are fortunate with being healthy and having a safe home, including their children, there are majority of families and single parents who are struggling with much more than just this aspect alone. Other concerns besides the basic resources that their children rely on so heavily by attending school each day. I also think about the fact that many have special health conditions and needs that are so crucial to be met. Other physical and mental health services that are scarce due to health and safety concern with the Corona Virus. Where their education and treatment is also at such a high risk for them as well as providers.
There is no underestimation to any line of healthcare professional and thank you to each and everyone in the world for your immense courage and passion for all that you tirelessly and selflessly do to serve each and every day!
Everyone is a hero and has the ability to share their gifts where they are able. There is always a need, especially during a crisis. Right now unity with our communities couldn’t be a better focus. Although, the physical part of us is not our reality, virtually it is. The truth is we are not alone, but together. We can thank technology for this. Think outside your walls and ask yourself, what special skill sets, professional training, and education do I have that I can share with my neighbors in community? What ideas are we implementing to make our lives a bit easier in the midst of a war on our health?Knowlege is power and as we come together, we are that much stronger!
Taking what we know, how can we begin to reach out and share this on a virtual level? Not only are you able to make productive and ample time for your talents, but you are providing resources and putting them to such a beautiful use. No matter how small or large a need is, no one should feel hopeless and left behind. Please continue to share!
Unity with Community!
