Thursday, October 13, 2005Through those early days of frantically assessing the safety and needs of the population and planning the medium-term response, Joyce was one of the most valuable members of our team. Without question, without complaint, she made copies, gave directions, and ferried people around in her car. Her only expectation was to help. She had dropped everything to volunteer; she had left her work, her daughter, and her grandchildren behind and, having missed the flight she planned to take, had driven alone across several states to Baton Rouge. At the end of her two-week session, she would return to her life, another of the many anonymous volunteers who responded to the crisis. Once back at home, she would resume her usual work - as a thoracic surgeon. posted by Sydney on 10/13/2005 09:23:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
