Heroes behind the scenes of the pandemic in Las Cruces
Check out some of the heroes during the pandemic . . .
Gary Night – We are a Nation divided
With 2020 vision I arrived in Las Cruces on February 29, 2020, enjoyed one week of relative freedom and attended one Farmer’s Market before the viral hammer came down.
Michel Meunier – Surviving Covid-19 as a small local nonprofit
These are very strange times. Never in my lifetime have I had to deal with a virus pandemic hitting so close to home, and navigating COVID-19 has been a big challenge.
Vinnie G. – Alone and Empty
My two older granddaughters lost their jobs and will until the social distancing let’s up. But they both have bad asthma and are very vulnerable.
Barbara Alvarez – Alone, Together
At the beginning of March, we were hearing worrisome reports about coronavirus—officially named “COVID-19.”
Heather Murphy – From the other front line
I’d like to say that I am moved and touched by all the stories about the local community and their struggles with the current situation. Very few know what I actually do for my main living which happens to be the other front line of this whole mess.
Lisa Lucca – My calm Interior
Quarantine has been easier for me than many. I spent a lot of my time at home anyway, working as a life coach over the phone, writing a book, hanging out in my garden with my sweetheart. We love our house overlooking Las Cruces and the Western sky.
Roy van der Aa – I would have never thought
I had never thought of what a pandemic would do to my business. For 22 years, I have sold advertising space for the monthly arts centered newspaper, The Ink. I have owned the paper along with my wife, Robin, for 20 years and we personally deliver the majority of each issue throughout about one third of New Mexico.
Victor Gibbs – I worry
Early morning, April 15, 2020, can’t sleep. Planetary alignment of moon and three planets rest in the southeastern sky. The corona virus has spread to almost every country on Earth in under three months’ time. Most of the world has been hiding and waiting for it to leave.
