Together at Home

I am listening to the One World: Together at Home event. It’s a global broadcast and livestream event to support frontline healthcare workers and the World Health Organization. If you are not listening already, check out Global Citizen for how to connect and then come back and read the rest of this post.

Welcome back.

As I listen to the global event, I wanted to share what I have seen locally in my neighbourhood showing gratitude for our healthcare workers. This show of appreciation is wide-spread. The street art from the past few weeks is a beautiful way to say thank you to frontline workers, like nurses, doctors, grocery store workers and delivery drivers, and encourage people to stay home and be safe.

There are also big red hearts on many front doors and signs on front lawns celebrating the dedication of our healthcare workers. One neighbour has organized a weekly “make some noise” on our curb to come together for a big loud thank you like so many neighbourhoods around the globe. And of course, there is the neighbour who goes into the hospital to be on the frontlines herself.

While I stay at home, you are out there risking your health to help others. Thank you, thank you.
