Good Deeds

During times of crisis, we all have a responsibility to lend support to each other and to provide assistance to those who need it most. At a time when the country is confronting an invisible and unfamiliar foe, the best we can do is become each other’s brother’s keeper. On my part, I have been engaging in good deeds because I believe that this is the right thing to do. These will be highlighted below, under the following Hash Tags:

Amongst the most affected by the current pandemic are the homeless. These people lack the social support necessary to secure their safety and wellbeing in periods such as these. Towards this end, I have engaged in the following activities;

· Provision of facemasks and hand sanitizers to the homeless

· Provision of foodstuffs and basic hygiene items to the homeless

· Provision of advice to the homeless on how to keep safe during this period and where to seek help if one develops symptoms consistent with those of COVID-19.

Our healthcare workers are also amongst those having a really difficult time during this period. They could have been at home with their loved ones but they are out there combating the pandemic. They are effectively risking their lives for the sake of other people’s wellbeing. These are the soldiers at war during this difficult period in our nation’s history. For this reason, they require our constant encouragement and assistance. With this in mind, I have engaged in the activities below:

· I have donated to a nonprofit that seeks to secure the needs of those working in the healthcare realm

· I have handed out flowers and messages of goodwill and encouragement to healthcare workers working within my hometown.

· I have lobbied local political leaders to advance the interests of healthcare workers during this period.
