As a member of humanity, it is essential during this pandemic seared moment that we as a race come together, to fight before every single one of us is irradiated from the inside out. This is not a time for arguing, or being at odds, there\’s already enough strife this should afford us an opportunity to heal, and make amends that life as we know it — will never be the same again. The current climate is starting to drain on our spirits, with no end in sight all we can really to is be hopeful — that this catastrophe will end eventually. The key in the meantime is to remain kind, aware, and grateful for those who have scarified to help our ever aching earth!

The Health Crisis
The world unites in the fight against the virus but it’s devastating to watch as we fall apart in the face of this pandemic. The healthcare workers and facilities are immensely unprepared for this level of combat.
