BC Children’s and Women’s Hospitals have
received letters of appreciation for health care workers from Grade 4 students.
During this time of uncertainty with so many people
going above and beyond, these letters are an example of the gratitude that the
members of the public—young and old—have for all of you working day in and day
out during these uncertain times. A sampling of these letters is below.
Dear Doctors,
l go to Elementary in BC. I’m in grade 4. The reason I’m writing this letter to you is
to say thank you for risking your lives to save others and for keeping our community
safe and healthy. It must be hard to be a doctor now because of the covid 19.
The
covid 19 is a bad thing because lots of people died from it. Doctors are very
important now because they help sick people and stop the covid. I hope the virus
ends soon because it’s very boring staying at home and not doing anything and
not seeing anyone. Doctors will help us be able to do fun stuff again.
I have
shown my appreciation for doctors by making a lot of noise at 7:00 pm every
night outside and by putting up a heart in my window for doctors. Thank you again for helping the corona virus
stop.
Sincerely
Dear doctors,
Lots of people admire how hard you are
working to keep us safe. You go to the hospital and give medicine to people who
are sick. We are very grateful to you. You are helping so many people, and it
is helping stop the spread of COVID-19. Thank you so much for being so kind. I
even got handsewn fabric masks, so doctors can have the right kind of masks to
work in. They are sparkly pink and sparkly blue. Only a few weeks ago you would
have seen people getting together at the beach, or something like that. Now if you
see somebody with their friends, they are probably facetiming them. Thank you for helping.
Sincerely
Dear Doctor,
Hi, I am 10 years old and in grade 4. I wanted to write you a letter to
say I appreciate you helping people and working when Covid- 19 is going on. I
am thankful that you are helping people that have Coronavirus so it doesn’t
spread throughout our Community. You are keeping us safe. It must be hard going
to work every day worrying about whether you are going to catch it and spread
it to your families. What does your family think about you risking your life to
save others? I would feel sad and worried because they have to go to work every
day and then they might bring it home to me.
I
have never liked going to the doctor because its scary. I am afraid that they
will tell me something is wrong with me, but it is a good thing because then
they can start getting better. I still don’t like
going but I know how important your job is.
I hope you stay
safe!
Sincerely
