1/7 Heroes walk among us – some #StayHomeSaveLives, despite disrupted schedules, daily inconveniences, challenges and losses of all manner, shape and size. #TeamCanada #COVID19 #StayAtHome #StrongerTogether

2/7 Some are #EssentialWorkers who are out on our roads, in our shops, pharmacies and hospitals, despite being away from their families and worrying about the risk of #COVID19 exposure. #ThankaTrucker #PharmacistsOnTheFrontline 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️🚛🚒🚜

3/7 Some are #HealthcareHeroes who have rushed in to help. This is one family’s story with a poem to a hero Mom who is a nurse, recently reassigned to care for #COVID19 patients in a nursing home in Nova Scotia. #OlderAdults #ProtecttheVulnerable

4/7 Mom, Michelle, like so many #HealthcareHeroes, worries about her family. To minimize risk to her children & husband, she is staying in a hotel for the duration of her work assignment as she saves lives on the frontlines of #COVID19. #ProtecttheVulnerable

5/7 Sensing her unease, her three children wanted to give her a boost and let her know they understand. So in a poem Greyson, Marcie& Charlie – with a little help from Dad, Jay, wrote this poem…“You CanBorrow Mine”#HealthcareHeroes #COVID19 #WeWillGetThroughThis #cavabienaller

6/7 YOU CAN BORROW MINE

My Mom is a hero,
she’s been there from the start.
Since the day we were born,
she’s held us in her heart.

She gives us so much,
even when she has none.
She takes our sad days,
and turns them into fun.

#WeWillGetThroughThis #cavabienaller

7/7 My Mom is a hero,
So make no mistake.
If the world ever needs her,
She’ll do whatever it takes.

We know that she worries,
Please don’t, we’re fine.
We know the world needs a hero,
So, it can borrow mine.
