Natalya Young, Director of Operations has been working in human services for 20 years and 14 years with St. Monica’s. She said that many of the women that come to St. Monica’s have no trust and no hope.
St. Monica’s is a team of passionate, caring professionals who help women overcome some of life’s most challenging struggles, helping them live better, healthier lives
I don’t know about you folks but staying home and not socializing during the pandemic has really gotten me down. Of course, the pulmonary blood clots and the young lady running into my car in July and August respectively didn’t help. However, now I feel well and most importantly I have hope. The shortest day of the year is only 3 days away and then there will gradually be more day time. The corona virus vaccine has arrived and health care workers and nursing home residents are starting to be inoculated. A second vaccine has been approved and is slated to start being delivered next week. This will mean fewer hospitalizations and fewer deaths. Lancaster County is lifting some of the pandemic restrictions on bars and restaurants today so hopefully our small businesses will be able to start making money again soon and employees will have work. And, spring is coming.
A letter sent to District Governors was sent out by Rotary International and it's Foundation about how Rotary is helping with the COVID-19 vaccinations. Please read the "MORE" to find what they are planning to do.
