For Nurses Day, we packed “appreciation parcels” for 200 nurses from four clinics – comprised of a little box of chocolates, an Activated magazine, and a thank you card specifically designed for these special men and women. The children got involved too, working enthusiastically in order to “make the sweet nurses happy!”
These dear ones labour long hours and process a huge number of patients, many of whom need comfort, counsel, or special care. And in these very uncertain times, with the threat of CoViD-19 tearing through our nation, they remain on the “front lines”, putting themselves at risk for the good of others. Yet they continue on cheerfully and faithfully, helping those who can’t help themselves. The surprise and thankfulness on their faces as they received their “Nurses Appreciation” was truly satisfying! One group, in the maternity sector, said in response to our statement of “we know it’s a little thing, but we want to show you are loved”, that “It’s not a little thing! This is so wonderful, and means the world to us. Thank you!”
