Right now, many health care and seniors’ care workers are impacted by the wildfires in B.C. We asked the Care Can’t Wait family to share messages of love and support. Here’s some of what you had to say:
I live in beautiful Summerland. It’s such a scary and sad situation that so many of us are in. Prayers for all that are directly or indirectly affected across the province. Remember that we are all on the same team, to be kind and be patient. Thanks to our real heroes who are working so hard to protect us and our homes. They have not stopped since the fires began. Be kind to each other.
I was evacuated too and I can feel your frustration. I can feel your pain, your anger, your frustration. But keep believing. When there are storms, rainbows follow. Thinking of you guys and praying.
We appreciate your incredible dedication in this emergency situation. We are all thinking of you and your families, and hope that you are able to rest soon.
Thank you for all you do for our patients and seniors. Keep fighting the good fight 🌸 Stay safe 🩷
To all health care workers impacted by the wildfires, I see your courage, dedication and compassion during an incredibly difficult time. While facing uncertainty and disruption in your lives, you continue to care for others and support your communities. Please remember to care for yourselves and your loved ones too. Thank you for everything you are doing during this challenging time. You are valued, appreciated, and not alone.
I am deeply sorry for the loss and stress many of you are facing, your tragedies are not unseen 🩷.
Our thoughts are with you in this tragedy that is plaguing our province.
Thoughts with all of my fellow Interior Health workers who stepped up to offer extra help or who were affected by the fires. I’m already impressed by the work we/you do. You have my support and camaraderie during these difficult times. I live in Kelowna. I’m an LTC administrator now, but I used to be a cleaner at KGH. I remember 2023, a bunch of us cleaning stretcher after stretcher in preparation for a Code Orange. Be well and be safe!
To all the healthcare workers and seniors’ care workers affected by the wildfires, we are thinking of you and standing with you during this difficult time. ❤️ Thank you for your dedication, compassion, and courage, especially while facing challenges in your own communities. Your commitment to caring for others is truly inspiring. Please stay safe, take care of yourselves and your families, and know that you are appreciated. 🙏❤️
To those who continue caring for others while facing uncertainty and difficult circumstances themselves, your strength, dedication, and compassion are truly inspiring. Please know that you are not alone. May everyone remain safe, and may those who have been displaced find comfort, strength, and support during this challenging time.
Thank you for all you are doing, for all your relentless work in helping out during these wildfires.
Sending our deepest empathy and solidarity to the B.C. care workers impacted by the evacuations. You care for our communities every day, and now it is our turn to support you. We are keeping you, your families, and your patients in our thoughts. Stay Safe.
I am aware that my words may not make a big difference in your lives but my thoughts are with you all and I appreciate your resilience in these hard times. Just remember that this will pass for sure and may leave wounds which would be difficult to heal, but we are all here to stand beside you and support you in any way we can. Please take care of yourself and your loved ones 🙂
Thank you for sharing your message!
