Today I've already experienced:
A street person hit by a moto, sobbing on the street while awaiting the ambulance. There were too many closer for me to approach, but I kept thinking that if he weren't haggard someone there would have taken his hand, offered a consoling word, anything, instead of standing over his agony. I felt very helpless.
A Venezuelan with a 7-year-old going into surgery. More vampires demanding money first. I always carry Colombia's Health Law now, & showed him his rights.
The expression in Spanish is:
"Dura la vuelta."
The journey is hard.
Cherish your health.
Let loved ones know they are loved.
Grow the circle of care in your community, whatever that looks like for you. 💙
