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.
