Our Life | Наше життя 25 Our Life | Наше життя traordinary – our members’ mothers, many who once themselves were UNWLA mem - bers, were truly surprised and pleased to receive such lovely cards. Some mothers explained how they chose to display the cards in prominent places in their homes, and one replied that she was ready to have hers framed! The success of these two initiatives moti - vated us to consider another demographic that we would like to “touch” with greeting cards – those who are frontline and essen - tial workers in the fight to help individuals infected with COVID-19, and who are sup - porting the rest of us during quarantine with food and supplies. Many of our Branch members have adult children, or know of young adults in their 20s and 30s, who have become medical professionals or sup - port staff in hospitals and medical services. Some live close to home, but others are scattered throughout the United States. During this latest project, we gathered names of relatives and friends who might appreciate getting a card from our Branch, thanking them for their efforts and com - mitment. We wanted these dedicated workers to know that UNWLA is not just a distant organization, but also a group of women who care for the individuals in our community who need to respond to and manage the health consequences of the recent pandemic. We sent out 25 cards that said “Подяка” - which is Thank You in Ukrainian, to medical staff throughout the United States, from those close to home in New Jersey to those in Cali - fornia. The sentiments inside the cards were written in Ukrainian or English. We hope that our recipients felt how close they were in our hearts! We now understand that sending greeting cards as an outreach effort can be repeated for other holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. I suggest that other branches consider similar programs for their communities, since the amount of effort is small when shared among several volunteers, and cost is minimal - cards and postage – but the impact is large and great - ly uplifting. God bless! Be well!
