“FEED THE FIGHTERS- Healthcare Heroes”

April- June 2020

Our Story
An example is our mom. She works in a medical center, and every day is a new challenge for her. Most of her week is spent at work, helping others, and putting others above herself. We can feel the emotions on her face when she returns from work. When she arrives home, she takes all the precautions to ensure  her selfless work does not negatively affect anyone at home. She has aches and pains every day from the wearisome hours she puts in to help others. She is just one of the thousands of front line healthcare workers that experiences a similar daily routine. Inspired by our mom we want to help her and those thousands of front line healthcare workers stay positive, healthy, and motivated.

 

The Plan

Healthcare workers are currently being overworked in unsafe conditions with shortages of many items. So what we at Being Positive decided to do was help the fighters battling COVID-19 and support our local restaurants. We wanted to help support these workers jeopardizing their safety for others by providing them with meals. We were able to raise approximately $8000 from a GoFundMe page. We were able to sponsor lunches and breakfast for 900+ medical workers. This one small act of kindness was a way to show our appreciation for those who are exhausting themselves to save others. 

Our Gratitude
Thank you for all your help in the donations. And a special thank you to AIMS Education, who greatly assisted us in contacting the hospitals and healthcare workers. They did a great job and this was able to be a great success because of them. Once again, we really appreciate every donation and share, it came a long way to help fulfil our goal to show appreciation to those health care workers. Here are a few images of the meals we were able to sponsor to the healthcare workers, this would not have been possible without your help. With all the contributions we have collected, we were able to provide breakfasts and lunches to the healthcare facilities below. We served frontline workers in various departments such as Radiology, Cardiology, Surgical Units/Operating rooms, Central service units, and Neurophysiology departments.
