@clevelandclinic received this message from a COVID-19 patient recently discharged from the MICU: While being treated, his caregivers frequently communicated with him by writing on the glass door in the isolation room. This time he had a message for them. The message read: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “This window has been the most impactful window in my life. On days when I watched you work hard to keep me and others alive, unable to thank you for the time that you poured into me — and although I will probably never get the chance to pour that same love and support into you, I want you to know that I think you all are rockstars. I watched some of you have good nights and some bad nights but what was consistent every night was that you care for people. Today I leave this ICU a changed person, hopefully for the better, not only because of your medical healing and God’s direction and guidance, but with the fact of knowing that there are such wonderful people dedicated to the care and concern of others. God bless each of you.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #clevelandclinic #covıd19 #coronavirus

(Bakersfield, California): Dennis Beaver created what he called the “Beaver Stimulus package” surprising all tenants by telling them they didn’t need to pay rent in April. In the letter to tenants, Beaver wrote, “We are all in this battle together and realize the hardship you are experiencing, or will likely be, soon. We need to help each other and pay it forward. Therefore, rent for April is forgiven. Do not pay April rent. Just call this the ‘Beaver Stimulus Package’ for our tenants. I think there are hundreds of landlords in this area who have the ability of doing the same thing.” ESPAÑOL: (Bakersfield, California): Dennis Beaver creó lo que llamó el “paquete de estímulo Beaver” sorprendiendo a todos los inquilinos diciéndoles que no tenían que pagar el alquiler en abril.

Necesitamos ayudarnos unos a otros. Por lo tanto, el alquiler para abril está perdonado. No pague el alquiler de abril. Simplemente llame a esto el “Paquete de estímulo de Beaver” para nuestros inquilinos. Creo que hay cientos de propietarios en esta área que tienen la capacidad de hacer lo mismo “.
