Ahead of International Nurses Week beginning on May 6, Macra na Feirme members wanted to say thank you to nurses and frontline workers putting themselves at risk to keep others safe.
Macra’s rural youth committee put out a call to Macra members asking them to send photos of themselves saying thank you to frontline workers. The response was incredible with members from all over Ireland sending in their photos of thanks to help create Macra’s thank you video which is posted to Macra’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts.
‘Sacrificing daily’
“It is important to show support for our nurses and frontline workers; they’ve answered Ireland’s call and are doing the work that keeps our friends, family and neighbours safe,” said video creator and member of Macra’s Rural Youth Committee, Aoife Scanlon.
“A video showing our thanks and gratitude for those sacrificing daily is a small gesture that we are able to do in the current circumstances. The response to participate from Macra members was so incredible we almost couldn’t get all of the thank you’s in the video” added Scanlon.
Macra na Feirme appreciates the work that nurses, healthcare professionals and all essential service workers are doing during this extremely challenging time. The organisation sends its thanks and gratitude to nurses and to all frontline heroes.
