I send prayers to all the homeless women and men out there, already vulnerable, on whom an extra burden has been added; and I thank everyone in the medical field working relentlessly.
I feel powerless and this brings anxiety. I know I am not the only one carrying this feeling inside.
Confinement should not mean loneliness.
More than ever before, we need our community.
More than ever before, we have to leverage technology.
More than ever before, the small gestures count.
Call your parents, wave to your neighbour, smile at a stranger, FaceTime a friend, email your cousin and, most importantly, reach out if you need help.
Maude Tourangeau, Hochelaga-Maisonneuve
