To all Frontline Staff

From RB

You may not know what people are thinking.

Right now, you may not care.

This is because you are too busy with your new reality of head-down, collar against the wind, slogging through this COVID-19 storm.

But there are so many of us that have a very clear sense of what you do, how you do it, and that when it needs to get done – it does.

We just don’t say this to you often enough.

Funny how times of crisis often lead to heightened insight.

 

I know your work is hard/demanding/exhausting at the best of times.

Working to eradicate the “dis” from “disadvantage” can be so tiring.

And, I know that, given these new circumstances, your responsibilities can be close to too much.

But the point is – I know.

More importantly, your community knows.

We all know.

 

And we need you to know – that we care and appreciate what  you do.  Even though we don’t tell you enough.

Thank you for putting your head down, pulling your collar up… and getting it done!
