Showing Compassion for Our Health Care Providers
COVID19 has made its impact on the world. Our country has taken steps to flatten the curve by restricting large social gatherings, closing schools and businesses, and placing entire states or counties under quarantine. As the virus spreads, the health care industry prepares for an influx of cases. Supplies are in demand from masks, testing kits, to ventilators. Here are some ways you can help.
- Make a mask. If you have a talent for sewing, consider making and donating masks to a local hospital or testing site.
- Restrict travel. Work from home if able. Purchase groceries and toiletries online whenever possible.
- Join a community of faithful believers. Connect virtually. Meet up on Zoom. Pray for your health care workers and an array of providers serving the needs of the community in your area. Pray for all those affected by the crisis.
