About 1/3 of people who contract the Covid-19 virus become "long haulers," and after months of illness continue to struggle not only physically, but emotionally.

"It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't stop you from doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result." ~ Mohandas K. Ghandi

I love this more than words can express
